Why did Tarmac choose Expel?

Site safety is a prime concern for Tarmac. Simon Hackney, the plant’s reliability systems engineer, wanted to install a solution that would drastically improve the accuracy of the pneumatic pyrometers and thereby enhance safety measures. Expel was the solution of choice for several reasons. Firstly, Expel has gained a reputation of excellence amongst many other Tarmac sites and comes highly recommended. Many sites have found that Expel is a quick and straightforward way to reduce equipment damage and downtime. These recommendations derive from the fact that conventional compressed air filters are known all too well for not becoming less effective with use, leading to imminent failure. Therefore, pneumatic equipment can be left vulnerable to harmful compressed air contaminants.

Unlike any other compressed air filter, Expel can continually remove 99.999% of all liquid water, oil emulsion fluids and solid particulates all in a single unit. Compressed air filters traditionally have saturable internal elements that absorb or trap compressed air contaminants. Expel can guarantee such a high-efficiency rate because instead of using traditional disposable internal components, Expel uses physics to discharge the impurities through an AVG auto drain. Therefore, Expel is the perfect way to remove oil emulsion fluids down to 1 micron immediately before the pyrometer. Furthermore, no replacement filter elements, maintenance, or ongoing costs are required.
