In these years of excess, we have often believed that “more is better”, but that is not always the case! FTI Air engineers work hard to produce high quality pumps!
Our air control system has fewer parts, only three moving parts make up the air control system; the air valve carrier, the shoe and the splined shaft. There is no pilot shaft, springs or snap rings. Reliable and easy to maintain!!!
Fewer downtime: wear parts such as balls, seats and diaphragms are stress-tested for at least 1,000 hours before they are approved for release for sale, ensuring fewer downtime.
Less “hardware”: flanged bolts eliminate washers, threaded inserts reduce the requirement for separate nuts. This means fewer parts to disassemble or possible loss.
One-piece manifolds: the single piece has fewer seals, which means less potential for leakage. Plastic center section: standard on non-metallic pumps, the plastic center section is also an option on most metallic pumps. Less pump weight is ideal for mobile applications. Less noise: users report that FTI Air products are quieter than competitive pumps. Less time to repair: fewer parts, less hardware, no special tools required for easy pump disassembly.
