Tire Inflation Systems
Alkon has all of the components needed to design a high quality tire inflation system. Tire inflation systems are important in the transportation industry. These systems keep fleet tires properly inflated, which reduces rolling resistance and improves both fuel economy and tire life. With a tire inflation system, your drivers will experience fewer roadside breakdowns, saving you money and time due to delays. We are committed to providing the best components required to design a high quality system, including pressure protection valves, control boxes, regulators, fittings and tubing.
Our vertically integrated, North American manufacturing model means that you will have the support of Alkon’s in-house engineers throughout the manufacturing process and will never be waiting for product stuck on the ocean. If our off-the-shelf product doesn’t get it done for you, give our custom products engineering team a call.
Pressure Protection
Pressure protection valves from Alkon have the same quality and reliability as all Alkon valves. Accuracy is critical for a pressure protection valve to work with a tire inflation system and our valve has been engineered to provide this for the life of the system. These come in a preset version with open/close pressures of 75/70 PSI or one that can be adjusted to the application; both on the shelf!
Pressure Regulator
Our manually adjustable pressure regulator has the accuracy to keep your tire inflation system set at the correct pressure.
Control Boxes
Alkon control boxes and panels have a “less is best” design with minimum parts for maximum reliability. Alkon control boxes are easy to install and maintain, and are appropriate for all heavy-duty truck and trailer applications. Protect everything needed for a tire inflation system inside our control box.
DOT Brass Fittings
Brass fittings are corrosion and rust resistant and allow for easy and leak-free assembly. Brass will not become brittle in extreme temperatures. Our deeper tube insertion length and floating tube support allow you to achieve leak free first-pass yield, cutting down on assembly costs. We have almost any combination of tube size and configuration on the shelf.
DOT Tubing
The tubing supplied by Alkon meets all DOT standards and is available in many different colors. Alkon has the right tubing for every application in an air suspension system and all the necessary accessories required.
