OverviewEXAIR's EFC is a user-friendly electronic flow control for compressed air designed to minimize compressed air consumption on blowoff, drying, cooling, conveying and static elimination tasks. The unit combines a photoelectric sensor with an adjustable timing controller that shuts the solenoid valve when no part is detected. The timer allows fine tuning to application requirements while the sensor provides flexible sensing distance. Available for applications up to 350 SCFM (9,911 SLPM).
Applications- Auto body blowoff
- Package cleaning
- Part drying after wash
