Lubricated Scroll Compressors for Auxiliary Automatic Systems
What Are Auxiliary Systems?
Auxiliary automatic systems are secondary mechanisms that support the overall operation of an installation. Although they are not part of the primary process (e.g., fuel dispensing), they are essential to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operations.
Characteristics of These Systems
- They are often related to:
-Control
-Automation
-Cleaning
-Safety
-Mobility
- Many of these systems rely on compressed air due to its advantages:
-High reliability
-Low maintenance requirements
Safety (no sparks and no direct electrical power required at the point of use)
Scroll Lubricated Compressors in Auxiliary Systems
Lubricated scroll compressors are widely recognized for their high performance, quiet operation, and compact footprint. They are easy to maintain and deliver a continuous, stable airflow, making them an ideal solution for a wide range of industries that require reliable compressed air.
These advantages are especially critical in environments where space constraints, low noise levels, and consistent air quality are key operational requirements.
Typical industries that benefit from lubricated scroll compressors include:
-
Automotive
-
Pharmaceutical
-
Food and beverage
-
Electronics and semiconductor manufacturing
Types of Auxiliary Systems Using Compressed Air
Auxiliary automatic systems powered by compressed air are present across multiple industries and facilities, as they provide safe control, reliable operation, and reduced electrical failure risks. Below are some common examples:
Pneumatic Valves and Actuators
Used to automatically open or close pipelines carrying gas, water, steam, or fuel.
Common in industrial plants, fueling stations, food manufacturing, petrochemicals, and irrigation systems.
Automatic Doors and Dampers
Pneumatic cylinders and pistons used for positioning components or equipment on production lines.
Pneumatic arms for handling, aligning, or moving materials.
Automatic Cleaning and Purging
Pneumatic blowers to clean filters, ducts, or machinery in operation.
Pipeline purging systems for potable water or natural gas networks.
Packaging and Labeling Equipment
Pneumatic pistons and suction cups for holding, sealing, or placing products on packaging lines.
Label dispensers and sealing systems that require compressed air to operate.
Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Utilized for bulk material handling, moving grains, powders, seeds, and pellets through enclosed pipelines using compressed air.
