Install Pneumatic System
Tidland recommends the use of a filtered and regulated pneumatic system to prevent airborne oil or
water from contaminating the knifeholders and to provide the correct air pressure to the knifeholders to
help achieve quality slitting.
The pneumatic system* includes:
Recommended operating air pressure: 60-75 psi (4.1-5.2 bar).
Note:
This is a guideline for knifeholder setup
– the actual air pressure is dependent upon
application and material.
Maximum operating air pressure: 100 psi
Note:
Internal hoses may rupture if maximum air pressure is exceeded.
Clean, non-lubricated, dry air is required for optimal performance of the knifeholder.
Before operating, make sure that the air lines from the air manifold to the knifeholder are securely
connected.
