Description
ZEKS XpandAir 80XPE Precision Pressure & Flow Controller (8″ Flanged)
The ZEKS XpandAir 80XPE is a precision pressure and flow controller engineered to reduce compressed air system waste while delivering stable, consistent downstream pressure. By regulating air to the minimum pressure required at the point of use, the XpandAir helps lower overall system pressure, reduce leak losses, and support more efficient compressor operation. The XPE platform supports forward, backward, and combination control strategies, and it is Modbus communication-ready for remote monitoring and integration with plant controls—ideal for manufacturing, packaging, and process applications where air pressure stability and energy efficiency matter.
