Air Operated Filtration Systems offer a powerful and versatile alternative to electric units, specifically engineered for the rigors of heavy industrial and ATEX-rated environments. These systems utilize pneumatic diaphragm or gear pumps, allowing for a completely spark-free operation that is essential for transferring flammable fluids or working in explosive atmospheres. The unique benefit of an air-driven system is the ability to adjust the flow rate and pressure simply by regulating the air intake, providing the technician with total control over the filtration process.
These units are built for high-viscosity performance, capable of processing heavy gear oils (up to 1000 cSt) that would stall standard electric motors. The offline “kidney loop” design ensures continuous cleaning of reservoirs, removing sub-micron particulate matter and moisture while the main system remains in operation. Because they do not rely on electrical components, these units are exceptionally durable and require minimal maintenance, making them the preferred choice for mines, offshore platforms, and remote construction sites.
To help you integrate pneumatic filtration into your safety-critical operations, I-care engineers are available to provide professional support. Our experts offer technical advice on air consumption requirements and filter element selection to ensure your oil meets strict ISO cleanliness targets. By utilizing Air Operated systems and following I-care’s engineering guidance, you can maintain fluid integrity in high-risk zones without compromising on power or safety.
