- As you may be aware, the use of a Local Pressure Booster is typically reserved for specific pressure points of use. A common application is for controlling sanitary valve pilots, where an increase in pressure is necessary. In this context, the SMC Booster is an ideal solution to enhance air pressure for sanitary valve pilot control applications. By utilizing this approach, we can contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by lowering the overall pressure in the factory and increasing it only at the necessary points, such as the sanitary valve pilot control and other high-pressure points of use. Additionally, SMC offers Ecological Air-saving Booster Regulators, including Exhaust-recovery Booster Regulator, and Low Air Consumption Booster Regulators besides the General Booster Regulators.

- Access to clean air is essential for sustaining human life, and fortunately, it is readily available to us. However, when utilized to power machinery in your factory, it incurs costs. Factors such as air blow and purge losses, leaks from piping connections due to improper installation, and pneumatic equipment leakage resulting from wear and tear of seals and gaskets, as well as insufficient equipment maintenance, contribute to air loss and wastage. These issues often go unnoticed or undetected without immediate notification. Introducing the SMC Air Management System (AMS), a comprehensive solution designed to address and prevent such challenges in your factory. Contact SMC or one of our representatives to experience the effectiveness of the SMC AMS firsthand. Witness its capabilities through a demonstration and discover the significant benefits it can offer you and your operations.
