Parker’s HASV reduces blowgun running costs by 35%

The Parker Hannifin HASV Air Saver Module for use on blowguns has been designed to emit pulsed rather than continuous air, which, the company says, can reduce air consumption and electricity use by up to 35%.

The HASV Air Saver Module generates pulsed air while also minimising pressure reduction during the short (30ms) off time to maintain the same efficiency as continuous air blow technology. At a customer trial plant in the US, installing the Air Saver Module on 50 blowguns provided healthy returns. Using a pressure of 5 bar, and operating for a total of 120 minutes per day, the factory is set to save approximately €5,500 on its annual electricity bill, based on 240 days’ usage.

Further advantages of HASV Air Saver Modules, which do not require a regulator, include a reduction in compressor operating time and noise, says Parker.
