To celebrate our maintenance roots, PWE has a dedicated monthly maintenance feature - Maintenance Matters - looking at all aspects of plant maintenance, and problem-solving case studies - the only magazine in its sector to give such detailed coverage every single month.
COMPRESSED AIR
Are food and drink manufacturers familiar with their industry’s Code of Practice and the ISO 8573-1 Standard? If so, why is it that some manufacturers are still risking oil contamination of their manufacturing processes by not using oil-free compress All of Beko Technologies’ UK service personnel have been successful in gaining the full qualifications for the safe handling of refrigerants - J11-F Gas Cat1. It’s now over a decade since HPC KAESER introduced its SIGMA Control internal compressor controller - the “PC in a compressor.” A major feature of the Atlas Copco Compressors stand at The Energy Event 2010 will be its Carbon Zero range of air compressors. These compressors are equipped with advanced heat recovery systems capable of recovering 100% of electrical energy input. In order to help businesses improve the energy efficiency of their compressed air systems, rotary vane compressor manufacturer Mattei launched a leak detection and repair service earlier this year, headed up by business development manager John Taylo At Air-Tech 2010, CompAir exhibited models from its range of rotary screw and Hydrovane compressors. Technical experts were on hand throughout the show to advise on the different options available to businesses keen to improve environmental performan When the Black Sheep Brewery invested in a new cask line four years ago they opted for a Boge SD 40 screw compressor to power the cask filling process.

It may be time to invest in a new compressed air system but in the current economic climate is this a viable option? Would it be cheaper to make do with your existing system for a bit longer - or is running an ageing compressor more expensive in the Despite the skills and expertise required for servicing, maintaining and repairing a compressed air system, an engineer doesn’t need any specific qualifications or certificates to carry out these tasks – meaning that anyone owning a compressor can’t Compressed air energy savings must be a long term strategy for industry. PWE reports. Understanding the basics of compressed air filtration is essential to be able to specify a solution that optimises the uptime of machinery, and ultimately, minimises costs. PWE reports. PWE takes a closer look at new ways of funding your compressed air equipment. PWE asked domnick hunter’s Mark White for advice on how manufacturers can meet the requirements of the Food Grade Compressed Air Code of Practice. |
