Precision Pneumatics were able to use their energy monitoring tools to identify that the two fixed speed air compressors the client already had on site were oversized, and that their needs would be best served by a new 37kW Variable Speed Drive compressor from Atlas Copco. The best-in-class Variable Speed technology developed by Atlas Copco allows our customers to respond to peaks and troughs in their production, meaning that the compressor only produces air when it is needed. This provides a reduction in energy consumption of up to 50% when compared with fixed speed equipment.

Having helped the customer to identify the compressed air solution that best met the needs of their production process, Precision Pneumatics then installed their new equipment to the highest standards of workmanship. The team also undertook a programme of leak detection and rectification, ensuring that the new installation would work efficiently and delivering further cost and energy savings for the client.
