Compressed air systems 

Challenges in industrial applications

Compressed air is irreplaceable on virtually every production line. Whether machines are being moved, products sorted, or packaging processed – a reliable and residuefree supply of clean compressed air is needed to keep production going at all times. Viega press connector and piping systems are safe and developed for maximum freedom from leaks. They really come into their own here – especially in terms of economy.

For the residue-free supply of clean compressed air

Proven thousands of times in compressed air systems: Viega Easytop system fittings. 

Compressed air has many uses in industrial applications. For example, in transport and conveying systems, for driving pneumatic drives, in control and regulation activities or for ejecting workpieces out of production moulds, as well as spraying and blowing off. But compressed air is also absolutely essential for remote-controlled valves and slide valves in process circuits, for cutting and welding devices, case packers and palletisers, and labelling machines.

The reliable supply of compressed air requires the utmost care and attention in every industry. The quality of the piping system is crucial for the trouble-free and effective use of compressed air. Not only does it need to help ensure that no impurities such as dust, oil or moisture impair the required compressed air qualities according to ISO 8573-1, but it also needs to minimise leaks, which can result in considerable economic losses.

From faulty compressor control to poor maintenance concepts – there are many different reasons for efficiency losses within compressed air systems. However, the greatest challenge in compressed air supply is always the same, namely pervasive and invisible leaks, which people often try to compensate for by "simply" raising the operating pressure throughout the network. In the long term, this is an extremely expensive and hugely inefficient approach.

With Viega press connector and piping systems, leaks are prevented from the very outset thanks to press connections that have been tried and tested a million times over, high-quality and durable materials, from gunmetal to copper and stainless steel and, last but not least, thanks to the reliable SC-Contur leakpath. The various Viega press connector systems with different materials and sealing elements are suitable for numerous purity classes in accordance with ISO 8573-1. This enables Viega to provide the highest possible degree of flexibility. More precise specifications can be taken care of at the Viega Service Center.
