When choosing a compressor, key things to consider include:
Compressor sizing is an essential factor to get right as an undersized compressor could cause unwanted pressure drops whereas an oversized machine could lead to mechanical issues and an excess energy demand which could be costly.
Furthermore, technology type is important as matching the right type with your demand will yield more efficient results. For example, a rotary screw machine is best suited to continuous operation so is a popular choice for many industrial applications where constant demand is needed. Or, if you have flexible working requirements, you may require a portable air compressor to allow you to manoeuvre the equipment from site to site.
Another factor to give some thought to is noise, if the compressor is near the point of use then a low noise or even silent compressor will cause the least disruption.
If you already have a compressor installation, but you are looking for ways to upgrade your system, then we can help there too! We provide several services to monitor and evaluate your current installation and offer ways to improve your operation.
A professional air audit, performed by our highly trained team of qualified professionals, will highlight key areas where efficiency could be improved and give you pointers on how to cut costs by examining air supply and demand.
We also offer air monitoring services via iConn, offering real-time information about your system. This provides detailed insights into your complete installation including air treatment accessories and equipment, to provide you with the complete picture. This data can then be used to identify risks, monitor energy consumption, and reduce downtime!
