Booster Stations

The stationary, movable and portable MAXIMATOR Booster Stations can be used wherever gases have to be compressed.

Examples for applications of the MAXIMATOR Booster Stations:

• Charging of airbag systems with Helium to 800 bar (11,600 psi),
• Cylinder charging,
• Pressure and leak test with high gas pressure,
• Transfer of oxygen in small cylinders for the life-guard service,
• Compression of gas and regulation for the gas assisted injection moulding in the plastic industry,
• Precharging of hydraulic accumulators by nitrogen.

The required hydraulic pressure will be generated by means of air driven gas boosters. In this connection, the outlet pressure corresponds to the set air pressure multiplied by the transmission ratio of the booster. When the appliance reaches the pre-set pressure, it stops automatically and maintains the pressure until arising a pressure drop caused through leakage or the like. The appliance starts automatically and functions again until having reached the pre-set pressure.

All the controlling and regulating processes are of unsurpassed simplicity because of the compressed-air drive. So, the complete appliance is very robust, operationally reliable and insensitive to hardest operating stresses. The booster station will not be damaged through moist rooms, dust or higher temperatures. The MAXIMATOR Booster Stations are explosion-proof because no electric energy is required.

Advantages of the MAXIMATOR Booster Stations

• Standstill of the Booster when reaching the set final pressure
• No energy consumption in case of long pressure holding times
• No dissipated heat during the pressure holding phase
• Substitute of leakages by automatic re-delivery through the booster
• Control of the operating pressure through simple adjustment of the air drive pressure
• Simple installation, operationally reliable, easy to maintain
