Description of Air Input System
There are two types of air inputs on KVAL machinery. Not all machines have lubricator option
installed. Check your machine or Air prints to verify installation.
Air Input with Lubrication
The air input system takes in shop air and supplies clean dry air (CDA) and lubricated air to the
machine. The clean dry air is diverted to blow off nozzles. The lubricator, located after the CDA
filters, delivers the lubricated air to valve banks and air cylinders.
