WAM – Magnetic Smart Drain

Zero Air Loss Technology

The WAM Series Smart Drain Valves stand at the forefront of innovation, ensuring the integrity of compressed air systems. These Discharge Valve Type pneumatic zero air-loss drains effectively eliminate condensate, which if left unchecked, can significantly degrade the quality of compressed air. With an intelligent design that only discharges when necessary, the WAM Series guarantees no wasteful exhaust.

Design Excellence

The WAM Series Drain Valves are engineered with a precision float ball system. This float is pneumatically actuated, responding to liquid level changes to activate the pneumatic main drain valve automatically. This
allows for real-time, demand-based draining, making the WAM Series suitable for use in high-risk environments where only compressed air drainage is utilized.

How Does the WAM Magnetic Smart Drain Remove Condensate?

The WAM uses a float ball that responds to the liquid level inside the drain. When condensate builds up, the float activates the main drain valve and the water is discharged. When there is nothing to remove, the valve stays closed.

Because it drains only when needed, there is no timer opening the valve on a fixed schedule, and compressed air is not blown out along with the water. This is the idea behind its zero air-loss design, and it needs no external electrical power to work.

Why Does Reliable Condensate Drainage Matter?

Water that is not removed travels downstream, where it can damage the quality of the compressed air and affect equipment and products. A drain that sticks closed lets water collect, while a drain that opens on a timer can waste air with every cycle.

Packing and filling areas need dry air, as described in our guide to compressed air monitoring for food and beverage plants. Wasted air from drains also adds to your energy cost, and you can calculate your compressed air savings and payback to see what that is worth for your plant.

Where Can the WAM Smart Drain Be Installed?

The WAM has a rugged design that allows installation outdoors, and an optional heating bar supports operation in cold climates. It also includes a strainer to prevent blockage and a manual testing option, so your team can check that the drain is working during routine rounds.

If your system has a different drainage requirement, the electronic level based condensate drain is another option to compare.
