ZDXtend compressors provide 24X7 reliability to Klear Water

M.I.Star Mineral Water Filling LLC. established in 2007 is situated at Dubai Investments Park, Dubai. The company produces pure drinking water under the brand name ‘KLEAR’. The company initially started off with a small capacity bottling line and over the last few years has expanded to become one of the leading water brands in United Arab Emirates.

Mr. Pratik Harde, the Managing Director at Klear Water is firm in his belief that a plant can only deliver quality product if the machinery and the backup utilities selected are of high standard and reputed quality. Klear Water were looking for a long-term solution so that the company can focus on growth and not on the plant utilities. Atlas Copco proposed a new technology in the ZDXtend that employs a screw compressor as the base to get low pressure air at 10bar, and a highly efficient booster that converts it into 40bar oil free air. This package eliminates the need for separate high and low pressure compressors, which meant an overall energy savings of 47 KW and reduction in maintenance cost of almost 30% for Klear Water, in comparison to their existing compressed air set up. Mr. Pratik quickly analyzed the total cost of ownership by taking into account the long-term operating and maintenance costs, calculating a return on investment of 36 months for their new CAPEX investment and finally decided to invest in the new ZDXtend package.

Mr. Pratik now looks to expand the horizons of Klear Water by multiplying their production capacity and introducing new bottle/package sizes in order to adapt to the ever-evolving consumer.
