ELECTRO / PNEUMATICPneumatic Control PanelsDrallim have designed and manufactured panelsfor many of the major pharmaceutical companiesaround the world. The panel shown was built forGlaxo Smith Kline for one of their UK laboratories.Electro/Pneumatic Control PanelSolenoid Test PanelsExxon Mobil required a system for testing the dualsolenoids used for the control of their single actingshutdown valves while online. Drallim designed asuitable system that not only independently testedeach solenoid but had the advantage of onlinereplacement of the solenoids if found faulty.Solenoid Test PanelPneumatic Partial Stroking Control PanelsPetronas in Malaysia had a requirement to partiallystroke their shutdown valves, the only problembeing that the platforms were non-powered. Drallimdeveloped a totally pneumatic partial strokingsystem that has now been adopted.Pneumatic Partial Stroking ControlCabinetTell us your requirement and our Technicalteam will develop a solution to meet your needs...

DRY AIRDrallim Dry Air products all started life as custom solutions to resolve the needs of aCustom Products/ System Designs – DRY AIRparticular customer. If we do not have the exact equipment you require today, these designscan be further adapted or enhanced to suit your needs.PRODUCT VARIANTSWaveguide Dehydrator12435As an example, the Waveguide Dehydrator 12435 wasdesigned to fulfil a need in the mobile phone industry to ensurethe signal is strong in all conditions by keeping the aerialfeeder/mast dry. It occupies just 3U (133mm) of 19” rackspace.This solution was found not to be suitable for a particularcustomer, who, although he liked the unit, didn’t have a 19”rack on which to mount the dehydrator. So we developed awall mounting version for him, and added a flowmeter and acouple of gauges and lamps that he thought would be useful.The 12445 is the result.Still the two versions could not match the requirements of athird user, who needed a unit of exacting dimensions to fitwithin an ETSI rack, and run off 48V DC. Shown at the foot ofthe page is the 12446.12445We have more versions borne from the same equipment - withconnections on the front where rear access is unavailable; orthe fitment of larger compressors where more dry air isneeded. If you want it, we’ll try and add it for you.The Drallim design team are ready to cater for your specificrequirement.From 3D Prototyping through to productionCustom DesignWhen there is no other way we can start from scratch and design a truly bespoke solution to a particularproblem, which is how the Waveguide Dehydrator started life. Can you think of a variant to solve a need?SD0001-1 Issue 026
