Compressed air applications in Construction
Demolition and Construction
From breakers to hammer drills, impact wrenches and nailers, the list of pneumatic tools is as extensive as the applications for which they are required. Whether for demolition, restoration, or renovation activities, every conceivable pneumatic tool requires a consistent supply of compressed air to perform at its optimum.
Favoured for their power, durability and efficiency, pneumatic tools are typically lighter, easier to use and maintain, safer, and more powerful than their electric counterparts. They also operate faster ensuring quicker project execution. Robust and less susceptible to overheating, pneumatic tools tend to have an extended service life, reducing maintenance costs.
Pneumatic tools require a reliable supply of compressed air, typically provided by portable compressors. The compressor’s capacity must match the pneumatic tools requirements for optimal performance. Any sudden drop in air supply, or an inconsistent air pressure, could cause a pneumatic tool to stall or lose its torque, making projects time consuming. The suitability, efficiency - and in some cases quality - of the compressed air supply will therefore impact pneumatic tool productivity and service life.
Poor compressed air quality in particular, can lead to premature wear of pneumatic tools, compromising performance, potentially leading to breakdowns, and therefore requiring more frequent maintenance. The result: increased downtime and operating costs. For maximum efficiency, safety, and reliability - even under harsh climatic conditions - the compressor powering the pneumatic tools may therefore require compressed air treatment to ensure the delivery of cool, condensate-free compressed air, or dried compressed air.
Typical pneumatic tools include; breakers, hammer drills, impact wrenches, nailers, screwdrivers, chisel hammers, and drills.
