AIR COMPRESSORS

Air compressor UPGRADES FOR SME`s

Upgrading your compressor could save you up to 50% Running costs

Why Update Your Compressor?

From engineering, manufacturing, construction, automotive, electronics, oil and gas and everything in between, a switch to a new VSD (variable speed compressor) is essential.

You may currently be using a fixed speed compressor or a dated variable speed compressor. 
In fixed speed compressors the motor runs constantly. It onloads at 100% power, then idles at around 30% power while the unit is off load which is wasted energy, then when the pressure falls to its minimum it comes on again at 100% power to restore the pressure to max. This cycle then repeats wasting expensive energy.

VSD stands for Variable Speed Drive and is a design of compressor that is far more energy efficient than conventional fixed speed compressors. A VSD allows the motor to ramp up and down depending on usage requirements, a bit like a throttle on a car. It is this ramping up or down that provides energy savings by eliminating non productive off load running. If the VSD turn down to a 20% flow, and up to 100% flow, and anything in between saving up to 50% in energy costs compared with fixed speed units and in some cases 15% energy savings in comparison with older VSD technology. VSD technology has come a long way. Using a dated VSD unit may no longer be economical. Is your current installation the most energy efficient for your demand?

So whether you have fixed speed compressors or a dated VSD 
Claim your free survey so we can calculate, based specifically on your existing compressor arrangement, how  much newVSD technology could save you.

To calculate the savings is a simple, free, and will not stop production for even a minute! The survey will report back on Energy Usage, Air Demand, and any Leaks in the current system. From this survey we can match you to the best variable speed compressor for your needs and most importantly tell you how much money this will save you.

Once we have some specific numbers relating to your site, we can then consider advancing the process, applying for available grants, procuring a quality supplier and exploring any other low carbon technologies which may be beneficial to you.

Doing the right thing by the environment

Climate change has been in the press for many years now, but most scientists agree that we're approaching a tipping point, beyond which it will become increasingly difficult to right the imbalance caused by pollution and the depletion of the earth's resources. Variable speed compressors are just one link in the chain that leads to a sustainable future for our planet, but they are a significant one. 


What's more, being able to prove to your suppliers and service users that you are doing everything you can to minimise your environmental impact will only have a positive effect on your reputation. 

Free and unbiased procurement advice

We will conduct a free site survey in order to firstly ascertain just what the savings will be, how much the project will likely cost and of course of that cost how much we can obtain through a non-repayable grant. We can then put you in touch with the right suppliers - businesses in whom we can place our trust to carry out superior work with quality products.

Importantly, we have a great deal of expertise in sourcing low carbon grants and will navigate a great deal of the red tape on your behalf - letting you get on with the day-to-day running of your business.
