The ASI Compressed Air System is designed to deliver oil-free air to run handpieces. This system is ideal for
mobile dental systems due to the small footprint, oil-less design, quiet sound level, and airflow output that it
provides.
AIR COMPRESSOR
A motor drives a two-stage piston design. Air is drawn into the first piston chamber where it is initially
compressed and then sent into the second piston chamber where it is compressed further. A pressure switch
controls the operation of the compressor that turns it on and off.
Due to the oil-less design, the compressor requires no lubrication and no maintenance.
The pistons are dynamically balanced to high tolerances that enable a smooth running and quiet design.
The portable dental air compressor is controlled by an air pressure switch that senses when the pressure drops
in the air tank to activate the motor and then once air consumption ceases, it will sense when the air pressure
has reached a pre-set point and then will turn off the motor. This keeps the motor from running when the
system is not in use.
The air compressor is mounted on special spring type isolators that allow it to float and thereby reduce vibration
to the chassis. A proprietary multi-stage intake muffler design attenuates and muffles sound waves to dampen
sound.
AIR TANKS CLEAN REGULATED AIR
This system uses a dual air tank design. The tanks are constructed of non-corroding aluminum that are
lightweight. Compressed air is sent to an in-line air regulator and moisture separator. The regulator is connected
to a manual purge valve that can be opened to allow moisture condensation to escape.
