Industrial Air Compressor Systems Repair or Replace?

It’s time to take a look at your air compressor control systems. We’ve been in the industrial control and automation business for over 20 years, and we’ve seen more than a few short term solutions become very costly in the long run. Everyone wants to reduce operational expenses, but they often overlook the most effective way to do so.

Our team of experts specialize in identifying problems and inefficiencies in air compressor control systems. As engineers, we look at long term costs factoring into the projected lifetime of a machine. We know it often seems more cost effective to extend the life of a machine by simply repairing it. In most cases, it’s actually cheaper to completely replace an air compressor system when taking into account the efficiency of a modern air control system.

Often we see situations where an industrial air compressor is running constantly, regardless of the actual need of the system. Sure, there’s always air available, but all of that extra air is costing you money. By making your compressors more intelligent, you will have an optimized system that prevents waste and effectively reduces power consumption.

All manufacturers have one thing in common – they want to maximize how much they can produce. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as you’re prepared for long term production. When plants attempt to bolster production by simply increasing system speed to maximum, defects occur and processes break down quickly.

Finding trends in machine output and breakdown can be used to your advantage. In gaining more comprehensive system data, we’ve developed ways to actively monitor machine trends and predict potential breakdowns before they happen. This means you can plan around scheduled downtime and avoid getting blindsided by a total system shutdown.
