Oil-free compressed air to maintain production

We received an enquiry from a manufacturer that operates several sites producing high-performance lighting and electronic products for the automotive industry.

In Hamm, the customer had planned a retrofit of its compressed air system. Essential for manufacturing car parts, compressed air is used to power tools and machines as well as for cleaning and quality control purposes.

Any interruption to the compressed air supply could lead to a production stoppage and significant losses for the customer. To avoid such a scenario, they required a temporary solution - a compressor with a generator for temporary supply. 

The decision to choose Aggreko was based on several factors, including the fast response time of Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM), which enables continuous and accurate monitoring of the generators.

In addition to the fast response time, the short processing time from enquiry to quote was a key factor in the decision-making process, as well as the specific power requirement of 45m³/min that could be provided.

Our oil free air compressor ensured the manufacturer’s equipment and product line were free of contaminants, making them suitable for market. Consequently, saving them significant amounts in product loss.

The customer was impressed by Aggreko’s reputation for quality and reliability. We understand how important it is to have access to equipment that is not only efficient but also reliable, and Aggreko’s products meet these standards.

Our temporary compressed air system provided the customer with a quick and effective solution to restore their operations. This has minimised any losses caused by downtime.

The oil-free solution has ensured that the quality of their product line is maintained and there is no contamination from a typical oil-flooded system.

The customer also benefited from remote monitoring with ARM. By implementing ARM, the customer can monitor the performance of their temporary compressed air system in real-time and quickly identify and address potential issues. This reduces operating costs by avoiding unnecessary downtime.
