KIT-AIRPWR // Compressed Air Power Kit for Simpro bin lifters
Description
The Compressed Air Power Kit allows Simpro bin lifters to be powered using a regular compressed-air supply, instead of batteries or mains electricity. The compressed air is used to turn a motor powering an ordinary hydraulic system, and all of the usual safety features are provided, including an air-operated safety interlock. With no electric components, this upgrade is ideally suited for use in hazardous/explosive environments.
In order to get maximum performance from the air motor, a clean and dry air supply of at least 35 l/sec at 7 bar (78 cfm at 100psi) is required at the machine. Air is only consumed while bins are being lifted, so if a reasonably large reservoir is provided, a compressor with 5 – 7 l/sec (10 – 15cfm) capacity is adequate. Air piping from the reservoir to the machine (including the flexible hose connection) should be at least 13mm ID.
