Why Use Pneumatics?
1. Weight: Much lighter than motors (as long as severalused)
2. Simple: Mucheasiertomountthanmotors
Much simpler and more durable than rack andpinion
Abstract - Known for energy efficiency and robust construction, we are offering our clients a wide range of Semiautomatic Packing Machine. Our range is highly customizedandcanbeavailedinvariousdesignsandsizes. Our project is a simple pneumatic cup sealer machine whichsealplasticcupwithhelpofheatingdiscwhichapply heatandpressureoncuptobesealed.
The science of pneumatics deals with the study and function of compressed air. Pneumatics is used in particularly every industry for a wide variety of manufacturingprocesses.Pneumaticequipment’sareused formultiplereasons.Themainreasonforusingpneumatic systems is that it employs air as the working fluid or in other words it is air powered. Air is a source that is free andiswidelyavailableeverywhere.Itisalimitlessnatural resource available for even the most rudimentary collection system. Besides being widely available the properties of air add to the advantages of using air in a Airsystem.iseasily compressible, elastic, and has low inertia. Compressibility and elasticity mean that air can absorb large amounts of energy, which can be distributed rather easily. The compressibility, coupled with the low inertia means that the pneumatic system can offer smooth acceleration, deceleration and reversal of mechanical motionswithminimalshock.Thelowdensityofairmakes it suitable to long distances, high speed control. Pressure pulses can be transmitted at velocities up to the speed of sound. The inertia aspects of air enable valve cycle rates substantially higher than what is practical in hydraulic systems.

An air line filter cleans compressed air. It strains the air and traps solid particles (dust, dirt, rust) and separates liquids(water,oil)entrainedinthecompressedair.Filters are installed in the air line upstream of regulators, lubricators, directional control valves, and air driven devicessuchascylindersandairmotors.
