When air is in its natural state, it contains moisture, particles, micro-organisms, and gases. But when you compress it with a compressor, the concentration of these contaminants can increase by 6-10 times.
To make matters worse, the compression process also adds oil and metal traces to the compressed air. That's why it's important to filter out these contaminants and moisture before using compressed air in any application.
RC&P supplies horizontal and vertical air receivers from 45L to 5000L capacity, sized to suit your compressor and application. We also carry out Worksafe-compliant air receiver inspections - a legal requirement for all pressure vessels in Victoria.
Contact us to discuss sizing or book an inspection.
RC&P supplies and installs air distribution systems in stainless steel, aluminium, and plastic pipework from 25mm to 110mm diameter. We recommend stainless and aluminium for superior cleanliness, minimal maintenance, and long-term reliability.
Refrigerated air dryers work by cooling the compressed air to between 1° - 5°C.
This can remove up to 99% of the moisture from your compressed air down to the set dew point.
Dessicant dryers operate through absorbtion of moisture through dessicant beads. Although more expensive this can remove moisture down to a dew point of -40°C.
Correct filtration is critical for maintaining the purity and quality of compressed air. We understand that different applications require different types of filters, and we take into account factors such as allowable particle size, system flow rate, pressure drop, and drain types to ensure optimal performance. Our team can assist you in selecting the right filtration type for your application in accordance with ISO8573-1 standards.
