Pressure Flow Controllers
Scales Air Compressor will own, operate, and maintain a compressed air system. We will provide compressed air based on your requirements, lubricated or oil free, and at the specific pressure and quality required for your application. You pay for the air you need and use, we'll handle the details.
Newer compressed air systems may be more reliable and efficient. A new system can reduce energy and maintenance costs and improve reliability over an older existing system.
Scales Air Compressor has the experience to help you in all areas of your compressed air system, call us today!
Substantial energy savings are possible: If your plant uses compressed air or thermal processes (using banks of heaters), installing more efficient air knife systems can eliminate as much as 80% of the total energy consumption, with superior results. A blower driven air knife can generate cost savings, speed up operations and/or provide other improvements in the manufacturing process. Investment paybacks are often achieved in just a few months, sometimes in a matter of weeks, providing a superior return-on-investment.
Our Nitrogen generator packages are compact, modular in design to allow for growth, easy to operate, require minimal maintenance, and can supply a 24 hour, uninterrupted gas stream at purity levels of up to 99.9995%. Simply switch on and let your generator do the rest.
Also available:
We also have monitoring equipment available to test for pressure dew point, CO levels, and hydrocarbon contamination.
Together with world reknown experts, Scales Air Compressor Corp. has blended two lubricants, one for rotary screw compressors and one for reciprocating units. Both lubricants are chemically compatible with all compressor and downstream air line components. As a matter of fact, the USDA has accepted Scales H1-46 as a lubricant for use in rotary screw air compressors where compressed air can have incidental food contact.
The extended drain intervals, non-toxic, non-hazardous waste features all serve to keep your compressors running longer with trouble free service and reduced operating and maintenance costs.
SCALES SYN-460---Rotary Screws
Typical drain intervals are 8,000 hrs. versus 1,000 to 2,000 hours for petroleum base lubricants.
SCALES H1-46---Food Grade
Sampling and engineering laboratory analysis is recommended at specific intervals and available through Scales Air Compressor Corp.
SCALES UCO-68---Reciprocating
UCO-68 is a highly refined semi-synthetic, hydro-treated, double de-waxed mineral oil. This lubricant is specially refined with state-of-the-art technology which results in performance improvements far beyond conventional mineral oils and many synthetics. With UCO-68, you can expect longer compressor life, resistance to carbon buildup, less equipment maintenance, and safer operations.

CONSERVING ENERGY COULDN'T BE EASIER
Efficient lighting control and energy management have always been fundamental business requirements. With today's rising energy costs, higher charges for peak usage periods, the
ability to reduce power consumption for lighting is imperative. Reductions must occur without
compromising security or potentially harming existing lighting systems. While most new facilities are designed to optimize lighting efficiency, a simple, cost-effective solution has not been available to provide similar capabilities for existing buildings.
This reduces the line current and, consequently, power and consumption. Savings with LightLogix range from 25 to 45 percent. Businesses realize fast paybacks - two years or less. In many cases,
energy conservation rebates from utilities make cost recovery even faster.
In most facilities, lighting can be reduced without negative impact. Building designs often provide higher lighting levels than required, sometimes twice as much, to compensate for reduced output as lights age.
Because LightLogix' controlling method is dependent on transformer principle alone, the system
can reduce line current without undesirable effects such as line spikes, harmonics, and power
factor reduction. While ever-present security demands may require lighting on a 7x24 basis throughout many facilities, electric lighting can often be reduced at times of higher ambient lighting without jeopardizing safety and without damage to the lighting system. LightLogix
reduces lighting while maintaining illumination Engineering Society (IES) recommended levels.
OPEN HARDWARE SOLUTIONS
LightLogix' open system component design provides facilities managers with maximum flexibility and
ensures years of trouble-free operation and energy savings. LightLogix can serve as a component - or as the cornerstone - in a total energy management system. Site-specific requirements (sensors, communications, zone control, etc.) are easily addressed and implemented.
An Allen-Bradley PLC, the top-of-the-line program-mable logic controller, controls the machine settings. The system monitors current and voltage and maintains them at the desired settings.
LightLogix can control lighting on a daily, weekly, or manual basis. Operators can program up to seven changes of voltage output (energy reduction) per day or per week. This yields a maximum potential of 49 daily settings and seven weekly settings.
Scales Air Compressor has a complete line of pressure flow controllers from small basic units to large 20,000 SCFM electronic systems. A pressure flow controller isolates the supply side of the compressed air system from the demand side. Our line of pressure flow controllers can help keep your system under control by stabilizing the plant's compressed air system pressure to within +/- 2 PSI. By stabilizing air pressure, our systems are designed to reduce compressed air usage thereby saving energy.
Oil water separators separate the water from the oil contaminant of compressed air condensate. Current wastewater limits classify condensate collected from a compressed air system as hazardous waste. However, by separating the oil from the water you can effectively minimize the amount of hazardous waste and reduce your disposal costs. Most compressed air condensate is 97% water and only 3% contaminant. The operation of an oil/water separator is simple: a pressure-relief chamber separates condensate and expanding air, the condensate then passes into a primary settlement tank and a main settlement tank where the droplets of oil are separated and rise to the surface. Then an adjustable oil funnel allows the oil to be continuously skimmed off the surface and siphoned off into an oil container. The water that remains is purified through a pre-filter and an activated carbon adsorber, and the water then leaves the oil/water separator ready for disposal. Scales Air Compressor has various models and types of oil/water separators to meet any system size requirement.
Did you know that you could buy compressed air as a utility? You buy electricity, water and maybe gas, why not buy air?
Your own compressed air system may not be the best use of your resources and capital expenditures for your plant. We have a new solution to provide compressed air for your plant, which will allow you to concentrate on your own business. It makes it easy to budget, your compressed air costs can be fixed, and we take all the worry out of it!
Air saver nozzles and jets use "air ring" engineering to cut compressed air use up to 70%. Innovative air-amplifier nozzle design emits a ring of compressed air with a strong vacuum in its wake to puff in surrounding air, amplifying airflow 4X to 25X. Air saver jets provide big air handling from a small amount of compressed air. Economical, versatile, reliable -- with no moving parts - the nozzles and
jets are problem-solving replacements for blowers, vacuums and fans in blow-off, part ejection, ventilation, cooling, drying, and air conveying.
Through precision-engineered air-jets, air knives direct and utilize high velocity air from a centrifugal blower or air compressor to accomplish the following:
Scales Air Compressor carries a complete line of blowers. From highly efficient centrifugal blowers, to single and multi-stage custom blowers for special conditions, and positive displacement rotary lobe blowers, Scales Air Compressor has a blower to meet your needs. Our range of blowers is from 2 cfm to 250,000 cfm, with pressures to 30 psig, and single stage vacuums to 28" Hg. Please call us with any of your blower application needs.
Do you use Nitrogen at your facility?
Scales Air Compressor can provide you with your own on-site Nitrogen gas generator so you can generate as much or as little Nitrogen as needed at the press of a button, at a fraction of the cost of your existing supply, and at the purity your process requires.
Scales Air Compressor can design, supply, and install stationary and portable systems that will take any standard compressed air source and treat it so that it meets OSHA Grade D breathing air requirements, or ISO and FDA standards. Scales breathing air systems are designed for use in many industries, including:
Bill Scales, our CEO, has been a member of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI-Z11, now ISOTC-28) Air Compressor Oil Panel since 1977, and has helped write the specifications for air compressor lubricants for the International Standards Organization.

SYN-460 is a long-life lubricant, formulated especially for oil-flooded rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps.
Scales H1-46 has been authorized and accepted by the USDA and complies with FDA 21GRF178.3570 Lubricants with Incidental Food Contact. A typical drain interval is 4,000 hours.
Scales UCO-68 is truly the universal compressor oil. It is custom formulated and designed for long life under the most severe and demanding conditions normally encountered in reciprocating air compressors.
Scales Air Compressor has many years of experience in the supply, installation and service of all kinds of pumps for various liquid and solid transportation. Pumps are used for transporting fluids of different viscosity, for cold, hot, clean, dirty, abrasive, poisonous and corrosive fluids, abrasives, solids and trash.. There are even pumps for substances you would never think of as being pumpable at all.
Every compressor and cooling installation has the potential to offer additional savings in some form of heat recovery. This heat recovery can be in the form of simple space heaters, pre-heating of boiler and process water for water-cooled machines or air ducting for air-cooled units. Our engineers can custom design a complete heat recovery system that can conserve energy, and in most cases, provide a rapid energy payback.
