Case Study: Energy-Efficient Compressed Air Upgrade for an Industrial Manufacturer

Client: A manufacturer of industrial parts and equipment
Industry: Industrial Manufacturing
Challenge: Replace an ageing air compressor with a more efficient and cost-effective system

The Challenge

Our customer, a leading manufacturer of industrial parts and equipment, needed to upgrade their compressed air system to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs. Their existing air compressor was outdated, leading to increased energy consumption and operational inefficiencies. To ensure the best solution, we began with a comprehensive data logging analysis, allowing our sales team to fully understand the client’s air demand and system requirements.

The Solution

After evaluating multiple options, the CompAir L55RS compressor package was identified as the best fit for their needs. Compared to two competitor models, it offered:

• An expected £9,436 in annual energy savings
• Optimized performance for their specific applications
• Seamless integration with existing infrastructure

In addition to the new compressor, our team proposed:

• BEKO RA630 Refrigerant Dryer for superior air quality
• Filtration and auto drain systems to enhance reliability and efficiency
• Connection to existing PREVOST pipework, ensuring a smooth and cost-effective installation

Execution

The installation was carried out efficiently by our service team, ensuring minimal disruption to production. Once commissioned, the client’s team received comprehensive training on basic maintenance procedures to maximize system longevity and performance.

The Results

With the new system in place, the client now benefits from:
✅ £9,436 in projected annual energy savings
✅ Improved system efficiency and reliability
✅ Better air quality with advanced filtration and drying
✅ Reduced maintenance needs and extended equipment lifespan

Conclusion

By leveraging data-driven insights and industry-leading equipment, we provided a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution tailored to the client’s needs.
