U.S. TAX STAMPING 

EQUIPMENT 

Manufactured by United Silicone 

an ITW company 

3.2 Air 

An air control valve is located on the pneumatic panel located on the back of the stamp machine, 
near  the  electrical  panel.    For  the  stamp  machine  to  operate,  the  air  lockout  must  be  pushed 
upwards to the correct position.  This valve is “Lock-Out, Tag-Out” compliant and a lock can be 
applied with the valve in the “Off” position. 
  

 

Figure 3.2 Air inlet panel  

 

Prior to turning on the supply of compressed air to the stamping machine, it is important to check 
for the presence of water in the water separator bowl (1), the filter bowl (2), and the coalescing 
bowl  (3).    The  VL-HP  requires  that  the  compressed  air  supplied  to  this  stamping  machine  be 
clean and dry.   All air coming from an air compressor is “wet” as a result of being compressed 
by  the  compressor.    After  the  air  compressor,  the  compressed  air  must  be  dried  by  passing 
through an aftercooler and/or air dryer.  

Types and advantages of different compressed air dryers 

and  other  important  information  about  air  compressors  are  contained  in  Appendix  A  of  this 
manual “Supplying Compressed Air to your US Tax Stamping Equipment”.
