Maintaining a clean compressed air supply—free from particles, water, or oil—is crucial for preventing pneumatic equipment failures, reducing machine downtime, and minimizing equipment malfunctions. To help you maximize process reliability and machine availability, consider incorporating the following technologies into your air handling system to ensure your pneumatic components receive only the cleanest air.
SENYA Pneumatic FRL – Basic Pneumatic Service Unit
Our pneumatic service units are at the heart of our air handling solutions. For example, our pneumatic filter removes compressor oil, condensate, and dust particles from the air. These units perform the most critical technical tasks required for compressed air handling, and their components include pressure regulators, regulators with filters, electrically operated valves and soft-start valves, as well as manually operated valves with filter/regulator combinations.
Powerful and lightweight pressure regulators and lubricators can regulate flow rates up to 6,000 liters per minute, and their polymer construction makes them up to 30% lighter than comparable metal products. For the filter regulator, we integrate the filter into the valve body—a design that facilitates filter replacement and saves installation space. In addition:
Manual or normally closed automatic condensate drain devices improve process reliability while protecting equipment from contamination.
Electrically operated on/off valves can be used as soft-start/quick-release valves. Soft-start devices can safely and slowly build up operating pressure at an adjustable rate until 50% of the set pressure is reached, before switching back to the set pressure.
Fittings and Piping
Compressed Air Connections and Fittings
Although piping and fittings are often overlooked, they are a crucial component of air handling systems like the MS series. Why? Piping failures can cause downtime in connected equipment, resulting in production losses and requiring significant engineering resources to locate and correct the cause. Some common causes of failure include hydrolysis, microbial damage, high temperature and pressure, degradation due to UV exposure, chemical reactions, and mechanical damage.
To minimize these risks, selecting appropriate piping and fittings for your air handling system is essential. For example, our ISO standard cylinders and quick-connect fittings are a perfect combination to ensure your system operates efficiently and without problems. These components are hydrolysis resistant and can be used in high humidity environments.
Other benefits include:
A reliable compressed air supply. Pneumatic tubing is suitable for standard applications requiring compressed air, including environments with water contact temperatures up to 50°C. Thanks to modified materials, this tubing will not crack due to hydrolysis.
Furthermore, the pneumatic hoses are highly flexible, tangle-resistant, and easy to install. They are also resistant to hydrolysis and microbial attack, making them ideal for the food industry. The all-black version also features UV protection for outdoor environments.
Short installation time. Thanks to its proven sealing and release design and high quality, the QS quick-connect fittings are very easy to connect and disconnect.
Transparent design for enhanced safety. Transparent tubing allows for easy detection of particulate matter, moisture, and oil contaminants, minimizing potential system risks.

Modular design
In order to achieve the desired compressed air quality and to be able to control the machine reliably and precisely, the air supply must consist of specific components. SENYA has therefore designed its air supply units to be modular. This makes it possible to combine all the necessary components with each other and, if necessary, to replace or exchange them according to therequirements of the application or the environment, even when these change. In this way, all functions can be built in a compact way in one place within a machine.
