A complete compressed air solution

Our client, one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies, had a problem. The on-site air compressors had failed at one of their longest running factories in the UK. Global supply chain delays meant the parts needed to repair the compressors would take many weeks to arrive. Creating a significant impact on operational efficiency, productivity and competitiveness. Since air compressors are a critical element of the site’s operations and with production downtime not an option, our customer needed a temporary solution – fast. 

Time was critical. Due to the urgency of reinstating production, we quickly arranged a site survey to fully understand the air volume and pressure required to tap into their existing network. Our team created a tailored 100% oil free air (OFA) compressor and dryer solution plus a generator package to power it all. Operating between 800 and 1600CFM with a pressure range of 4-10 bar, the compressor is designed and built to provide energy efficiencies with no large starting currents and low noise levels. Housed within a CSC certified 20ft ISO high cube container, the unit is fully air cooled to enable a fast installation and minimal disruption for customers.

Thanks to our investment in OFA compressors - addressing a shortage of rental options - we were able to deliver and install the solution within just one day. Enabling production to resume and avoiding costly potential losses of up to £200,000 a day. Our OFA compressors are part of our range of Greener Upgrades solutions. Our compressor was onsite for 8 weeks in total while repairs were carried out. During this time, the customer also benefitted from greater efficiency, zero emissions and lower energy costs
