50. Compressed Air Flow Control

The EFC is a user-friendly electronic flow control for compressed air. It is designed to minimize compressed air use on blowoff, drying, cooling, conveying, and static elimination operations. The EFC combines a photoelectric sensor with a timing control that turns air off when no part is present. The unit improves efficiency by minimizing compressed air use. According to the company, the EFC can cut thousands of dollars of compressed air waste from a single installation. The eight function timer with rugged photoelectric sensor is compact and suitable for easy hook to voltages of 100 V to 240 VAC. It provides just enough air to complete a specific task or operation.
