Four ways compressed air systems waste energy (and what to do about it)
Eliminating leaks, misuse, overpressurization and pressure drop can ensure efficient compressed air systems. Contributed by Bradlee Dittmer, Product Marketing Manager, Norgren Inc., An IMI Precision Engineering-branded company Are your energy dollars vanishing into thin air? According to U.S. Department of Energy estimates, 10 to 30% of all energy consumed by the average industrial facility is used […]
Sauer high-pressure series Orkan to debut at Hannover Messe
Once again, Sauer Compressors will be present at Hannover Messe ComVac. The booth’s highlight will be the design study of the brand new Orkan series. It will top up the Breeze series and will include compressors with final pressures of up to 500 barG. Additionally, the series will offer booster solutions with inlet pressures of […]
Screw vacuum pump is completely oil-free
The new Varodry dry-compressing screw vacuum pump, made by Leybold, Cologne, Germany, is 100% oil-free. Screw pumps are considered state-of-the-art industrial vacuum pumps, according to company officials, and the Varodry series is well suited for a wide range of manufacturing processes. That’s because in industrial settings, pumps not only need to handle clean air, but […]
Compressors meet shipboard air demands
Many engineers are familiar with plant compressed-air networks that pipe high-pressure air to pneumatic tools, industrial robots and countless types of production and packaging equipment. Perhaps not as widely known, but equally as important, compressed air also handles critical tasks on large commercial ships. Compressed air is used onboard in a number of ways. One […]

The full-featured control system allows for unattended, automatic operation. Heavy-duty frames and balanced compressor designs do not require a special foundation for installation. 350-1000 psi (24-69 bar) 7.5-240 scfm (212-6800 lpm) […]
Compressed Air Fail: Compressor exhausted
By Ron Marshall An automotive parts manufacturer had expanded their production and were running out of compressed air capacity. The pressure was dropping so low that it was interrupting production activities and causing parts delays. Facing these problems, the maintenance foreman rented a small diesel compressor to supplement his other three electric compressors, putting it […]
Compressed air storage systems
When an application requires storage, either in the form of a single cylinder or multiple cylinders, arranged either for bulk or banks of cascading, a properly sized storage system offers many benefits to the compressed air/gas system. The purpose of storage is to serve as a reservoir to handle constant, sudden or unusually high demands […]
