Airfuse - protection of personnel, machinery and equipment

Protect your most important assets: your employees and their equipment!
The AirGuard offers simple but efficient protection to pneumatic systems in the event of a broken compressed-air hose or pipe. The air supply is immediately shut off by the AirGuard, should the volume of air exceed a set value. This “value” is factory preset and is set to allow normal air consumption when using air tools.
Should the air consumption exceed the set value, e.g. the air line is severed, then the internal piston instantly shuts off the main flow. An integral bleed hole allows some air to flow though. This enables the line pressure to automatically reset the AirGuard once the main line break is repaired.
Management Responsibility:
It is the duty of management to ensure a safe working environment for their employees and that the equipment complies with the Machinery Directive EN983 or “PUWER” (the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations).
EU Standard EN983-1996 (5.3.4.3.2) currently states:
“Failure of flexible hose assemblies and plastic piping: If the failure of a flexible hose assembly constitutes a whiplash hazard or a fluid ejection hazard, it shall be restrained or shielded”.
Complies with the 2010 ISO4414 (5.4.5.11.1)
“When failure of a hose assembly of plastic piping constitutes
a whiplash hazard, it shall be restrained or shielded by suitable means and/or an air fuse for compressed air shall be mounted”.
