RJ Webb Commercials is an established expert in shot blasting metalwork, and for many years the company has undertaken projects for cars, trucks and other much larger structures. The shot blasting process is used for cleaning, de-scaling and preparing the metal surface for respraying, ensuring that the refurbishment results are an ‘as new’ finish, even when working with the most difficult of surfaces. For delivering the best results, the company is relying on an Atlas Copco’s sustainable electric E-Air H250 VSD compressor, which produces zero emissions and moreover reduces their costs. Immediately, they were delighted to witness their costs going down.

Since the application of the electric compressor into their operations, RJ Webb Commercials has calculated fuel savings of more than € 5000 per year. Further to this, following on from the changes in red diesel, the requirement to purchase diesel has been negated due to the use of the E-Air meeting (and exceeding) all the company’s demands. With the help of the E-Air, the company has been able to navigate the ever-shifting price changes in the diesel market, while hiking down their carbon footprint to further portray their dedication to achieving net-zero emissions – without having to compensate on quality.

With the facility of Atlas Copco’s PACE technology, RJ Webb Commercials team can also take control of the compressor’s pressure and flow into their own hands. The innovative technology takes versatility to the next level by allowing the user to define their pressure while the machine regulates the flow; meaning one machine can handle the job of three fixed-pressure machines. This has resulted in further savings due to the ability to reduce the air pressure that is required at one time.

Additionally, RJ Webb Commercials has further estimated that they have reduced their shot blasting material by a minimum of 10%, resulting in an impressive net saving of more than €1000. Joe Webb, General Manager at R.J Webb Commercials, comments:

We approached Atlas Copco after coming across their electric E-Air compressor on their website. The savings we have experienced across our operations since investing in the E-Air is fantastic, and we are extremely pleased with the purchase and have no regrets in doing so.
