Principle

pression_prog.gif
Soft start fittings allow air pressure to increase gradually when a compressed air line is restarted after it has been vented for any reason (eg. at the end of work, after an emergency stop or when adjusting the system). this gradual pressure increase or “soft start” which can occur when full working pressure is immediately introduced, saves wear and tear and prevents injury to users or components. Each cylinder thus protected gradually returns to the position it stopped at when the system was vented.
