Pneumatic silencers from Festo reduce noise levels and make it easier to maintain your industrial automation system. Festo silencers thus reduce the risk of downtime by automatically warning if or when the pressure of your pneumatic silencer increases too much.
Pneumatic silencers not only reduce the noise level of the exhaust air – Festo silencers also protect the actuator system from dust particles or dirt that can enter through the valve.
But how does a pneumatic silencer work?
A Festo silencer, for example, is a body/sintered body that uses several chambers separated by baffles to slow down and cool down the escaping gases of the projectile. This leads to a reduction of the orifice blast and fire of the silencer. The manufacturing process of porous aluminum makes it possible to regulate the flow rate of silencers in pneumatics over a wide range, resulting in lower resistance of Festo silencers and minimal impact on the operation of your pneumatic system.
