Parker-Origa is setting new standards for air preparation equipment with the launch of the A15. This innovative system is constructed from lightweight polymers instead of the traditional metal, reducing weight and simplifying assembly. The design also reduces the number of variants required to cover the full spectrum of applications, which lowers logistics costs and so makes the A15 an extremely cost-effective option. Further features include a self-adjusting nano mist oiler which ensures continuous lubrication in the most economic way. And functional safety is optimised through the incorporation of a manual or semi-automatic drain valve.
The A15 is available in two versions: standard and heavy duty. For air motors and other applications that use large amounts of lubrication, a replenishment system is available offering users an alternative to running on unlubricated air. This will ensure a permanently optimised level of lubrication to maintain seal performance and extend their working lives.
Constructing the A15 from high-tech polymers instead of the traditional metal means that it is up to 45% lighter than conventional equipment. The non-metal design also makes the A15 corrosion-free, enabling it to be used in harsh industrial environments, with aggressive synthetic oils or anti-freeze, and at temperatures down to –40°C. The new materials also facilitate the use of a universal container design across the range, reducing the number of product variants from the twelve that would previously have been required down to just two. This dramatically reduces logistics costs for Hoerbiger-Origa, enabling the A15 to be provided at a highly attractive price. It also simplifies stock holding requirements for customers.
Further innovative features of the A15 include a new, patented nano mist oiler, which provides fully automatic regulation of the oil volume according to the flow rate of the compressed air. This ensures that the optimum lubrication is always achieved, so delivering highly economical operation. The design of the nano mist oiler has the added benefit that the maximum distance between oiler and equipment has been extended from the 8m of standard equipment to 40m. This helps to reduce costs and provides additional flexibility for complex installations.
