7.3. Air Pressure Regulator
The air pressure regulator needs very little maintenance; apart from a periodic check-up of the fi lter and
the water level in the draining system, it is virtually maintenance free.
Air pressure gauge (7)
(Main air pressure gauge on control panel above touchscreen)
Here you can check the actual pressure in the compressed air tubing.
Regular checks are advisable.
(Optimal pressure depends on your product, ask your BESTnv installation engineer).
Air fi lter (2), (8) & (10) (8 & 10 are optional)
Filters dust, dirt and water particles out of the compressed air. The fi lter should be checked approximately
once a year and replaced when necessary (depending on the quality of the compressed air).
Water drain: Automatic (4)
Removes the water from the compressed air that accumulates in the fi lter unit.
The removal of the water happens automatically, via a tube that goes to the bottom of the sorter
cabinet.
However, if the compressed air supply is of lesser quality, the draining system may become clogged, due
to the accretion of dirt and dust particles. In this case it is necessary to drain the water by hand. With the
manual drain, just unscrew the drainage screw underneath the fi lter.
To avoid getting water in the pressurized air tubes the water level should be checked regularly, +/- once
a week.
