What is an Air Header?

An Air Header is a central distribution manifold or header used in compressed air systems to split the flow of air from a single source to multiple outlets. It serves as a distribution hub that ensures each connected device, such as valves, cylinders, or tools, receives the necessary air pressure and flow. Air Headers are used in various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, power generation, and more, where compressed air is a key utility for operation.

How Pitambara Engineering Air Header Works

The Air Header is typically installed at the point where compressed air is supplied to a system. It connects to a compressed air source (such as an air compressor) and distributes the air through multiple outlets. Each outlet is connected to pneumatic equipment like valves, actuators, or tools. The header ensures that the correct amount of air is delivered to each device, and it can include pressure regulators to maintain a consistent flow and pressure.

The air entering the header is often pre-processed (filtered, dried, or regulated) to ensure optimal performance of connected equipment. The header design allows for easy integration of various components, such as shut-off valves or monitoring devices, to ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.
