Electric Air Compressors: How and Why They Save Money and Energy
Compressed air fuels many parts of many industries all over the world and is commonly known as “the fourth utility.” From the beverage servers in a restaurant or bar to the enormous rooms and extensive systems inside a manufacturing facility, air compressors play a huge role in civilization as we know it. Pressurized air systems […]
Read MoreAir Compressors in Ski Resorts
Skiing ranges are generally associated with mountains, which most people perceive as being cold enough to produce snow year round. However, natural snow levels are often inefficient for optimal use at ski resorts. These businesses instead rely on artificial snow production, created by pumping cold water high into the air with the power of compressed […]
Read MoreSingle Stage vs. Two Stage Air Compressor
Some air compressors come in two types: single and two-stage. When it comes to buying a single-stage or dual-stage air compressor, the first question that prospective buyers often ask is, “What are the differences between the two?” View Single & Two Stage Compressors What Is a Single-Stage Air Compressor? Single-stage compressors draw air […]
Read MoreThe Benefits of Switching from Mineral Oil Based Lubricants to Synthetic Lubricants in Air Compressors
Oil is the lifeblood of most machinery, from vehicles and lawn mowers to sewing machines and air compressors. Inside of each machine exists a web of moving pieces, most of which consist of metal surfaces that — without proper lubrication — could end up damaged through repeated internal friction. When friction gets out of hand, […]

Read MoreThe 14 R’s of Compressed Air Efficiency
In everything from the packaging of food to the assembly of products, compressed air is relied upon for the preparation of items that are sold on the shelves of supermarkets to department stores. From the tank of the compressor to the tip of each pneumatic tool, the air must be compressed at just the right […]
Read MoreWhy Did My Compressed Air System’s Pressure Drop?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a typical industrial facility uses about 10 percent of its electricity consumption on air compression. This makes compressed air a major expense in the USA. Loss of pressure represents money lost. Inefficient systems in production reduce profits, and can even threaten the ongoing financial viability of business. In […]
