Rc3/8'' Plastic Exhaust Cleaner with Silencer

This Mindman PVC pneumatic silencer exhaust cleaner is used to vent pressurized air to the atmosphere and filter out contaminants. Air exiting a pneumatic pressurized system can cause an audible noise, which can cause harm to workers or not meet application noise specifications. They decrease the audible noise by increasing the surface area of the release of pressurized air. It has a filter (6 micron mesh) to filter out contaminants (oil, toxins, etc.) to prevent them from reaching the atmosphere. It has Rc3/8" female threads as a connection port. It can handle an ambient temperature of 0 - 60 °C and an operating pressure range of 0 - 9 bars. Depending on your usage, you should incorporate a silencer cleaning schedule into the system maintenance planning. Remove the silencer and rinse it under lukewarm tap water. Then use compressed air to blow away any remaining dirt particles. Do this from outside to inside instead of the usual inside to outside.

Pros:

• Decreases the noise of exiting pressurized air to keep workers safe and application noise specifications correct
• It has a 6 micron mesh filter to prevent contaminants from exiting the system

Cons:

• Decreased flow rate, however, it is minimal
• It is not a flat design, so it has a protrusion that takes up space
