WHAT IS A PNEUMATIC SYSTEM?

A pneumatic system is a system that uses variable pressures of compressed air to control different tools/attachments to use during your required tasks. The compressed air comes from a device called an Air Compressor.

WHAT IS AN AIR COMPRESSOR?

An air compressor creates and supplies all the power for all the equipment in a pneumatic system. The rate the compressor can deliver air is measured in cubic feet per minute. There are multiple different types and sizes of compressors. Piston or reciprocating, rotary screw compressor, rotary sliding vane compressors. centrifugal compressors.

SAFETY AROUND COMPRESSED AIR.

Compressed air has the potential to cause serious and permanent injuries. the compressed air will cause minor injuries if it breaks through your or anyone else's skin. if the air gets into your bloodstream there is potential that it will travel to your heart and brain and cause permanent damage.

To avoid any injuries while using compressed air make sure all hoses and fittings are securely fitted to the apparatuses that are being used. also, you should never spray others or yourself down with the compressed air as this will cause injuries,

PPE:

Safety is a huge part of any workplace environment so when using compressed air you should always use the correct PPE for what you're doing. for example, when using a dust-off gun you should always use a full face shield to protect your eyes from any debris that will be flying around. One hundred percent of the time when using any power tools you should be using ear defenders and safety glasses to protect you from noise and debris.

  1. Hey Robbie. I like you this blog a bit, i can see that you put a lot of work into your blog and it has payed off. Your diagram is really helpful and goes far more in depth than most others do. Could you explain to me the use of a dust off gun?
    Thank you, I rate your blog 8 out of 10.
