Hi-line unveils Vertical Air Receivers
February 15, 2019
The company is now stocking a range of “class-leading” Vertical Air Receivers, available in “top-quality” immediately.
Currently, four sizes of Vertical Air Receivers are being stocked at Hi-line: 300, 500, 1000, and 2000 litre variants. The vessels are manufactured at Hi-line’s new factory, centrally located in Burton-upon-Trent, England, where the company has a storage facility populated with the vessels ready for “immediate” shipping or collection.
Receivers provide valuable temporary storage for compressed air, particularly at facilities with high air consumption. The vessels also serve to stabilise pressure peaks and provide steady air flow. Not having one as part of a compressed air system can increase the load/unload cycles on the compressor, making it work harder.
All of the Vertical Air Receivers stocked by Hi-line are powder-coat finished in compressed air blue (RAL 5015) and are said to be PED compliant to 2014/68/EU. “Quality is the primary attribute of the vessels,” according to Hi-Line, “which are built by robots to ensure perfect and consistent welding quality.” In addition, high-quality 5mm plate and fittings are used throughout; as a result of this build quality, the Vertical Air Receivers are twice the weight (pro rata) of standard catalogue vessels.
All four models of Vertical Air Receiver being stocked by Hi-line Industries offer “11 bar working pressure, and come with a 10-year warranty.” The vessels can be supplied with or without fitting kits to suit individual preferences. Safety valves, gauges and drains are also available as options.
As a member of the British Compressed Air Society, Hi-line states it is “proud to be part of the ‘Made in Britain’ campaign that promotes the best of British manufacturing.”
