CAPS estimates rise in premium compressor use

COMPRESSED Air and Power Solutions (CAPS) claims Australian companies are now choosing premium compressors over budget equipment following the improvement in economic conditions.

“In recent months we have noted a trend by Australian companies towards purchasing premium compressors such as the Ingersoll-Rand 2-stage Variable Speed Drive compressor over low cost alternatives,” CAPS Australian national sales manager Dino Alessio said.

“We believe this trend is as a result of renewed confidence in the marketplace and because premium compressors such as the Nirvana 2-stage VSD deliver greater efficiency and improved associated running costs when compared to cheaper alternatives.”

Alessio claims Australian companies are adopting a longer term view and can see the energy and emission benefits gained my investing in premium compressors.

According to CAPS, significant savings in operating costs and improvements in bottom line profits can be made by upgrading an inefficient compressed air system.

An air compressor is said to be often the largest single source of energy consumption and can represent 80% of the lifecycle costs in compressed air usage in a typical manufacturing plant
