Automatic Drain Valves
Automatic drain valves remove sludge and liquid from compressed air systems. Automatic drain valves should be installed at each liquid collection point in a compressed air system, including: Use our automatic drain valve cost saving calculator to see how much an automatic drain valve could save you a year. Removing water and sludge with an automatic drain valve helps your compressed air system run more efficiently reducing your utility cost. Robo Drain
The PPC Robo Drain is a state-of-the-art demand operated drain. Low pressure and high pressure Robo Drains are available. The unit is fully automated. Pneumatic power is used eliminating the need for electricity. The Robo Drain uses magnetic force to ensure a positive opening and closing action. The Robo Drain’s unique design places the magnetic force out of range of contaminant to stop metal particles from being attracted to the magnets. Additionally, its ball valve positioning and support prevents side-loading. To see how much you could save a year with an automatic drain valve use our Automatic drain valve cost saving calculator.

An automatic drain valve can save you thousands of dollars a year by reducing the amount of compressed air used to purge liquid condensate from your compressed air system.The calculator figures how much it costs a year to have an open bleed valve. Choose the size bleed valve you have in your system and enter your utility cost per kW-Hr. The result is how much your bleed valve costs you a year and therefore how much you could save a year by installing an automatic drain valve(s).

The photo to the right shows a side view of a RD11-T RoboDrain. The blue cap is where the 1/8 in. needle valve needs to be installed.
The needle valve prevents a vacuum from forming in the RoboDrain. If a needle valve is not installed and adjusted a vacuum will form
causing condensate to back-up into the air system. The needle valve does bleed a small amount of compressed air to atmoshere. In a year
of operation the needle valve will consume about the same amount of compressed air as a standard electronic drain use in a single actuation.
The photo to the right shows a close-up of the RoboDrain's control air connection. RoboDrain's operate on compressed air. The 1/4 inch behind the blue cap is where you connect your control air. The RoboDrain requires clean dry air with a pressure
between 80 and 120 PSI.
