We had a disastrous day to say the least. It started with out air cooler shitting the bed, that led to the entire pneumatic system on the press becoming full of water. This all started yesterday but my press man never said anything about it even as the symptoms got worse. Today the press was blowing water out of every connection, and tons out of the exhaust for the lift cylinder. Called Sullair and have a new dryer arriving tomorrow from Boston. But that led to the next problem. I had to get the water out of the system, so I systematically started to disconnect air connections and allowing the air to blow out the water. I had to remove the entire lift cylinder because it was chock full. But in doing so it ruined the push connect for the supply side. Now I cannot use the press at all.
I have zero idea what to call this unit. The right side is the supply side and provides the air to lift the cylinder. The left side is the exhaust for the cylinder when the tables come back down. Its a single line system for the cylinder, gravity does the return part of the cylinder operation. But the blue push connect is toast, never to take a hose again. Why the F did those poles use such cheap crap for something so critical. As I said its either the whole unit or the parts on the right side I need, no clue what to call it. A proportional valve maybe? The push connect is like a banjo fitting, and cannot find anything like that either online. If anyone has a clue please fill me in. Thanks
