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
