Welcome again to the first tutorial series on engineering tools and devices on the steemit platform.
This lessons are more pictorial than wordy, its aim is to help you understand the purpose of these machines and its appearance, so you don't go by one without identifying with it.
Today's focus is on The Industrial Air Compressor
First, like all Equipments, They are made in different sizes;
Small, Medium
Big
The duty of this compressors is to supply air, most industrial processes make use of air flow, for instance, The extruding machine uses air to blow wide the Polyethlyene sheets into a column when drawn
Also for the Blow Mould used in the production of plastic cans, likewise some Injection Machines
Basically it is indispensible to the Chemical and Mechanical industry and the choice of a big or small compressor depends on the size of the industry and the number of machines therein
They all have the same principle of operation, the motor is connected by belt to the producing chamber which collects air and transfers by pipe to the respective machines in use.
And that's it on the basic knowledge of compressors.
Stay tuned.
