What are pneumatic products used for?

Medium of Pneumatic Technology: Compressed Air

To understand the scope of pneumatic technology, it is essential to recognize that the medium used is compressed air. This defines its application in industries where cost control, flexibility, and efficiency are priorities.

Air, which is abundant and easily available, becomes the driving energy of pneumatic equipment after compression. In special cases, inert gases may replace air. Since compressed air is inexhaustible and can be vented into the atmosphere after use, it places fewer demands on the environment. Below are some application cases of pneumatic equipment.

Why is customization more important in pneumatic systems?

Due to the wide variations in application scenarios, different industries—such as automotive, food processing, electronics, and medical equipment—have distinct requirements for air cleanliness, pressure stability, and safety standards.Customization and system compatibility are therefore particularly important for pneumatic products.

When an actuator or cylinder requires specific speed, thrust, or cushioning characteristics, targeted selection or adjustment is necessary.Only by customizing pneumatic components according to the application environment, load characteristics, and air supply conditions can the system’s efficiency, reliability, and service life be fully ensured.

Pneumatic Products – Air Dryer

The use of pneumatic dryers is not uncommon. For instance, Fokca Pneumatic Products Company provided Delair India in the pharmaceutical industry with a compressed air drying solution. This included refrigeration and adsorption dryers to remove moisture and dispersed oil mist from compressed air.

With air dryers in place, not only is the risk of rust caused by moisture on pneumatic components reduced, but lubrication fluid is also prevented from liquefying and losing its function.Applications of compressed air dryers include tablet compression, packaging, spraying systems, and cleaning, ensuring the stable operation of production equipment.

Air Filter

Similar to pneumatic air dryer products, air filters are also belong to air source treatment unit,It is one of the components of the FRL (Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) assembly. They can be combined into a modular set for use in pneumatic systems, or used individually.which play an auxiliary role in protecting other pneumatic components.

Avara Foods, a food manufacturer, used drying equipment and traditional filters on its production line. However, liquid and solid particles still entered the packaging area, causing frequent damage to seals and valves due to solid particles, dust, and oil mist. The cost of replacement was extremely high.

Through discussions with Fokca Company, Avara decided to use Fokca Automation compressed air filters as a point-of-use solution to protect air equipment. Fokca's filters effectively remove liquids and solid particles, and their design makes filter element replacement and maintenance intervals by up to 3 months.

Pneumatic Cylinder

Pneumatic actuators are used in applications that require frequent reciprocating movements, such as pushing, pulling, and gripping.Application Case of production pneumatic actuators is also very common.For example, in the yellow cheese food processing industry, actuators are required to press cheese into shape. On conveyor belts, actuators automatically perform repetitive pressing and lifting operations.

Since caustic soda, nitric acid, and other corrosive chemicals are present, the contacting parts of pneumatic actuators are prone to corrosion and damage. Fokca Automation designed customizable pneumatic actuators using corrosion-resistant materials or surface treatments to withstand alkaline and acidic environments.

Additionally, Fokca actuators are equipped with guide rod mechanisms that ensure precise alignment of the press molds throughout the pressing process, thereby improving product quality.
