Gast Group – the leading designer and manufacturer of precision air products and member of IDEX Corporation’s Health & Science Technologies division – will be using its stand at BIOTECHNICA & LABVOLUTION to continue its launch of the JUN-AIR 86/87R Series Systems, its new range of oil-less rocking piston-based compressed air systems.
Commenting, European sales director Andre Goodson says: “With the new 86/87R Series Systems, we set out to dramatically reduce sound, enhance flow, improve aesthetics and create a standard footprint for easy retrofit anywhere in the world. The new JUN-AIR systems will enhance Gast Group’s already extensive range of compressed air solutions and help to create new and exciting opportunities in many different sectors.”
Designed to suit virtually any medical/analytical application and be even quieter and more durable in operation, JUN-AIR 86/87R Series Systems provide best-in-class reliability, quality and performance. Their compact footprint makes them easy to install and they are ready to use at point of installation, making them easily integrated into most applications. Open models are fitted with handles, which also help to protect the motor from external damages during installation and operation. Cabinet models are equipped with castors for easy and convenient mobility.
With low-cost operation in mind, the new systems have also been designed to operate at 8 bar (120psi) for over 10,000 hours before any mechanical maintenance is required. To provide continuous clean air flow at up to 28lpm, the JUN-AIR 86/87R Series Systems also benefits from an integrated double air filtration arrangement, with a 50μm intake filter on the compressor and a 5μm filter regulator for air leaving the tank. Optional ancillaries are also available to further improve the supply air filtration to as low as 0.01μm.
Supported by an extensive knowledge of compressed air applications in the laboratory, medical and analytical markets; customers can also take advantage of Gast’s many successful relationships with OEMs and its partnerships with equipment distributors. The company’s expertise covers multiple applications in sample management, in-vitro diagnostics and numerous analytical instruments, from material and surface science to spectrometry, chromatography, microscopy and other general lab air applications.
Gast Group will also be promoting other JUN-AIR oil-less and oil-lubricated ranges of clean and quiet compressed air solutions at BIOTECHNICA & LABVOLUTION. For further information call Gast Group on +44 (0)1527 504040, email gastgroup.uk@idexcorp.com or visit www.jun-air.com.

The Vavea Aeropulse is an autonomous industrial cleansing and deodorising system designed for the diffusion of disinfectants and fragrances and to meet potential growth in numerous markets. It has been developed to offer a combination of reliability, cost efficiency and low maintenance functionality and, for this reason, the company has partnered with the Gast Group for the supply of the essential pump needed to generate a constant flow of air to achieve the best possible atomisation of liquids.
As Vavea co-founders Dominique Balencie and Bruno Gual explain, the reason for entrusting the Gast Group with such an integral part of the product’s makeup is that Gast pumps are already used in similar applications: “Vavea was looking for a reliable pump unit that was light and rugged. We wanted to offer a combination of high quality equipment with minimum maintenance and, after tests of several models, the Gast DOA diaphragm pump gave us the best result.”
Vavea’s Aeropulse system works by diffusing liquid disinfectants, insecticides, odour neutralisers or fragrances into a dry fog, a process that allows the maximum surface area of a premises to be treated with a liquid product, without resulting in dampness or stains. The integrated Gast DOA diaphragm pump is vital in providing the Aeropulse system with maximum air pressure, whilst remaining a sustainable and cost-effective air pump.
Because the Gast DOA diaphragm pump has a limited pulsing effect but still achieves 3 bar pressure, it is able to develop a constant flow of air to create the best atomisation of a liquid. Its continuous duty cycle capability also enables it to run the system for several hours when used in large premises.
The inclusion of the Gast DOA diaphragm pump within the Aeropulse atomiser also ensures that the Vavea system has the same impressive reputation for reliability. The system is now effectively atomising liquids to deodorise and disinfect premises in a variety of sectors including medical, veterinary, nursing, education, gymnasiums, food & beverage, retail, industrial, leisure and commercial environments; and is available throughout Europe.
The Gast DOA oil-less diaphragm compressors and vacuum pumps are an ideal source of quiet vacuum or pressure and are available in standard, twin, and miniature styles. Air flow capabilities for portfolio range from 0.65 lpm to 108 lpm, vacuum as low as 31 mbar abs and pressure to 4.2 bar. Electric motors are available in dual frequency, shaded pole, permanent split capacitor (psc) and AC multi voltages for worldwide applications. Additionally, 4 to 24 volt DC options are also available for the miniature styles, with horsepower outputs ranging from 1/16 to 1/2 HP (0.05 to 0.37 kW) on the standard size models.
Gast Group products are well known for their reliability and are used for a variety of industrial, laboratory and manufacturing applications where the dependency and accuracy of these components are of primary concern. Examples include, industrial mixing equipment and pump drive; in-vitro diagnostic and laboratory automation equipment; gas generators and cable pressurisation.
