EXPEL, exclusive to REMA TIP TOP is a revolutionary, innovative and economic solution that has been designed to preserve workshop tools and equipment by eliminating condensate pervasive in compressed air systems.
EXPEL is a unique patented compressed air filtration device which, REMA TIP TOP says, removes 99.9 per cent of liquid, oil, water and other contaminants down to one micron when installed at point of use.
A REMA TIP TOP spokesperson said: “Excessive condensate in compressed air systems present one of the greatest hazards to operational efficiency and longevity of tools and machinery.
“Condensate essentially is an environmental by-product, formed when air cools below saturation point.
“The effect of condensate within industrial applications and components can however trigger and hasten corrosion in equipment, motors, valves, instruments and pneumatic systems.
“Rust, scale and debris can ultimately promote premature ageing, malfunction and systematic equipment failure.
How it works
“Conventional filters often remove water using the cyclonic method rather than the patented multi directional vanes and clarification chambers inside the EXPEL.
“These vanes and chambers force the coalescence of all water into tiny droplets which are then removed by the filter allowing a 99.9 per cent removal rate of the water, and emulsion fluids.”
EXPEL is unreliant on mains power and a simple plumbing procedure will transform any point of use location in the workshop.
The EXPEL unit can be fitted with the standard issue tap that manually opens to drain any of the collected water.
The spokesperson added: “EXPEL is supplied with a two-year’s manufacturer warranty.
“Typically, the most common EXPEL filter for automotive and workshop applications is the EXPEL 30.
“The unit handles a compressed air flow from 5-30 CFM (140-850 L/Min).
“Most tools and compressed air equipment will state on a label what compressed air usage they require.
“They will also state an operating pressure in Bar or PSI.
“The EXPEL units are designed for use in applications up to 15 bar (217 PSI).”
Installation is recommended within six metres of point of use.
REMA TIP TOP exhibited EXPEL at The Tire Cologne fair where an operational rig was used to demonstrate the effective credentials of EXPEL alongside a separate airline fitted with a traditional water trap.
