Compressed air can account for 1/3 of a plant’s total electricity usage. You may be able to save tens of thousands of euros annually by reducing compressed air consumption in your drying and blow-off operations. Spraying Systems Co. can show you some simple changes that won’t disrupt operations but can deliver significant dividends.
Know the options for compressed air use
Low-Flow Air Knives
- Deliver high velocity, uniform air in small areas, typically mounted close to the target
- 89% to 92% less air consumption than open pipe
- Low noise level with high velocity, uniform air flow
Air Amplifiers
- Produce a constant, high velocity air stream for very targeted applications
- Up to 90% less air consumption than open pipes and 60% less than air nozzles
- Low noise with higher volumes of air and pressures than air nozzles
Air Nozzles
- Convert a low-pressure volume of compressed air into a targeted high-velocity stream
- 25% to 36% less air consumption than open pipe
- Up to 60% less noise than open pipe
Open pipes with holes or slits
- High compressed air consumption
- Less targeted drying or blow-off
- High noise levels
