Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Do you use a rock drill?
When it comes to large rock drills, there are suspended drilling rigs, for example,
When it comes to small rock drills weighing 50 kg or less, this is the kind you'd find.
This is about the size that a small hand can hold.
A reducer tank is really handy when using air tools like these!
It's what's commonly known as an "air sub-tank."
Normally, I think you'd connect it directly to the air compressor with a hose.
There are some benefits to installing a reducer tank.
| Effect | Details |
|---|---|
| ① Stabilizing Air Pressure | By installing a sub-tank between the compressor unit and the connected equipment, it is possible to minimize fluctuations in air pressure, andStable supply at a constant pressure...is now possible. |
| ② Auxiliary Air Supply | When using a large amount of air temporarily,Supply the air stored in the tankThis prevents pressure drops and ensures stable operation of the equipment. |
| ③ Reducing the Load on the Compressor | The presence of a sub-tank helps preventFewer ON/OFF cycles of the compressor |
| ④ Assisting with air cooling and moisture removal | Because air temporarily accumulates inside the tank,As the temperature drops, moisture separatesIt will become easier. |
| ⑤ Role as a pipeline extension and relay point | If the site is far away,Air Supply Relay PointIt is used (installed to minimize pressure drop even at long distances). |
What do you think?
It's convenient, isn't it?
Simply put, it helps prevent situations where you run out of air.
This is the air regulator tank (air sub-tank) we use at home.
Since this is primarily for rock drilling, it includes four 1-inch bits and two 1.5-inch (38 mm) bits.
The input from the 100-horsepower compressor consists of two 1½-inch lines. (2-inch lines are also acceptable.)
Also, one piece fits into the rock drill and one into the swivel for every inch.
Since I want to keep supplying air to the swivel while drilling with the rock drill, it would be really tough without a regulator tank.
Furthermore, as the extension gets longer, the air pressure drops, so it’s important to maintain the air pressure while ensuring an adequate air volume.
Otherwise, drilling will take a long time.
The larger the reducer tank, the more air capacity it provides, which in turn gives the compressor itself more headroom,
This allows for efficient construction.
The same applies to sprayers.
Even the latest spray guns come with a reducer tank, don't they?
If a 100-horsepower compressor isn't enough, we'll switch to a 180-horsepower one, but,
For minor issues, a larger reducer tank is usually sufficient.
In a way, a long air hose can serve as a sort of auxiliary tank, but I’d really like to have a reservoir, lol.
When you're far from the compressor, to ensure an adequate air supply,
By connecting reducer tanks, it is possible to deliver air volume while maintaining air pressure over considerable distances.
By the way, when you connect an air hose to a compressor, the pressure drops due to pressure loss.
As a result, we are currently facing a situation where the machinery is not operating properly.
I think it's a good idea to keep that in mind when using compressed air.
In fact, it might actually be more efficient to use it from the start.
See you later.
