Fresh Air | Summer 2017
Our monthly newsletter covers product updates, tips for air compressor maintenance, local news, and valuable insights into the world of compressed air and vacuum pump technology.
Top tip: No air dryer, so what?
Why bother with compressor dryers? If the quality of your product and process matters, then the quality of your compressed air matters too! If you want to know how much water vapour is in your air system right now, our calculator can tell you. Or perhaps you would like to know how an air dryer works or what methods of air drying there are? These questions and more are answered in our compressed air dryer whitepaper.

When does our service team get the most breakdown calls?
Right about now! Analysis of compressor data from the field has proven that uptime is greatly improved on regularly serviced compressors during hot weather. In fact, without regular servicing, a compressor’s availability falls by 3.5% - equivalent to 210 production hours over the course of a year, based on a compressor running for 6000 hours per annum.
