Compressed air is used in processes throughout the food & beverage industry. From operating cutting machines in food manufacturing to capping bottles in breweries, compressed air keeps these operations running at peak efficiency.

Compressed air is useful for many reasons; however, it is expensive to produce.   The total cost of ownership should be a factor when dealing with a compressed air system. Find out eight ways to increase the efficiency of your compressed air system. 

Woodcraft Industries in Molalla, Oregon was able to save over $5,300 annually by implementing a new KRVP Series rotary screw vacuum pump with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

Compressed air users are becoming increasingly intolerant of contamination in their systems, whether it's in a patient’s lungs, food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, or semiconductors, eliminating the risk of contaminated end product, and saving money in energy use and maintenance, are only a few of the benefits.

International Wire was able to get energy savings of over 400,000 kWh annually by working with Rogers to implement an oil-free compressed air system that included Kobelco KNW Series air compressors with a heat recovery system! 

When choosing an air compressor, the first questions to ask are, “What are you planning on doing? Are you setting up a bead-blast cabinet? How often are you going to use it?”

Nestlé’s Ice Cream factory in Tulare, California was able to get a payback period of just over three years on an oil-free air compressor with a heat recovery system.
