Medical gas manifolds have become more important than ever during this time. The reason? Medical gas manifolds are used to supply an uninterrupted flow of medical gas to a medical facility pipeline system. The manifolds can be used to supply oxygen, medical air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen to power many medical systems and operations. What […]

Businesses looking to upgrade or purchase a new industrial compressor generally find themselves asking this question: what is the real difference between oil-less and oil-free compressors? If you scour the web, you will actually find very little information that talks about the real differences between the compressors. The reason is that these compressors are often

Compressed air is essential in the medical field. From providing the air that helps operate tools used in dentistry and surgical practices to helping patients breathe, its use cases are incredibly high-touch and should be assessed with the utmost acuity. Having a well-serviced, medical-grade vacuum package is critical in ensuring patients are kept safe during

To answer the question of what a medical vacuum pump is, we first have to answer the question of what a regular vacuum pump is. A vacuum pump is an industrial device that removes gases and liquids from enclosed spaces. The purpose of this is to create a vacuum or to deliver a steady stream

For oil-free compressed air, you need an oil-free compressor. Oil-free compressors work in much the same way that oil-injected ones do. However, as the name suggests, there is no oil injected during compression. Often, oil-free compressors are the best option in most applications. Before you decide on a compressor, you should understand the three main

Mineral oil – the type used to lubricate and cool engines and compressors –will create a health risk if it gets into food or beverage products or pharmaceuticals. If it gets into paints or powders it can adversely affect product quality and reduce yields. The obvious thing to do is to keep oil out, but

While air compressors can undoubtedly be one of the most powerful tools in your workspace, they can also be the loudest. Air compressors can get up to 70-90 decibels loud – the average conversation is about 60 decibels, so bring in 2-3 oil-less air compressors running at full capacity and you’ll definitely have a noise

Inefficiently sized compressors don’t just make working harder, they can result in higher energy costs per unit of compressed air. If you’re in the market for a new compressor, this guide can help ensure you pick the right one. Keep in mind, you shouldn’t use horsepower to make your decision. Focus on considering your CFM

There are many reasons for preferring air tools over their cordless rivals. They’re smaller and lighter, they deliver a constant level of power, and there’s no need to recharge or swap out batteries. However, you do need a compressed air supply and hose connecting it to the tool. In an industrial facility with a compressed
