The air compressor is a critical investment for all manufacturing plants. It is important to take care of the quality of the air, and part of this is ensuring that you select the right accessories to improve the performance of the compressor and the quality of air for the end user.
Listed below are the accessories that improve a compressor’s performance:
Airmate filters
Air Receivers
Condensate drains
Air dryers
How to maintain Airmate filters:
Compressed air is not naturally clean. It likely contains vapour and tiny particles like aerosols that can ..read more

The efficiency of an average air compressor is restricted to 10-15 per cent due to two main reasons. One of them is the loss of heat caused by inappropriate use, leaks, and artificial demand. The other is due to the heat generated during compression.
Why recover heat?
All the electrical power used during the compression process is converted to heat. This heat, if not recovered, causes a waste of energy- which contributes to global warming. When heat is recovered, the cost of power is reduced, which, in turn, reduces the overall cost to companies. When heat is not recovered, it is ..read more

Energy is currently a prominent topic of discussion due to worries regarding its cost, the environmental consequences of its emissions, and the geopolitical complexities associated with its production. The world is still off track to limit global warming to the crucial 1.5-degree threshold. Energy efficiency is central to tackling climate change; a task made all the more urgent by the recent rise in emissions and the limited time to achieve mitigation targets. More specifically, referring to compressed air, it is imperative to acknowledge that energy costs account for around 80 percent of the ..read more

Compressed air plays an important role in multiple areas of manufacturing including food, machineries, automotive and pharmaceuticals. It is an excellent source of energy used for conveying liquids, materials, to operate tools and equipment along with instruments.
During the compression process, ‘Dew Point’ plays an important role in maintaining the quality of the output or the product. Read on to find out more about this concept, and its impact on overall product outcomes.
What is Dew Point?
Dew point is the temperature at which the water vapour within the air condense ..read more

Tunnel construction has picked up pace in the past four-five years in India, on account of an increased number of projects involving longer tunnel lengths in some of the world’s most difficult terrain conditions! The scope of tunnel projects is also expanding as a result of growing urbanization and the rising demand for better infrastructure.
Tunnel development is majorly driven by investments in the metro rail, railway, roads and highways, hydropower, underground crude oil storage and water & sewerage segments. And with the increasing investments in the sector, the size of tun ..read more
