Compressed air monitoring reduces power wastage Technews Industry Guide: Sustainable Manufacturing 2023, Artic Driers International Air compressors are a major consumer of power, much of which ends up as air leaks in the factory distribution system. Energy is easily wasted by poorly performing air compressors that waste electricity and do not have rated air flow rates. Energy wastage is not sustainable and escalates production costs.

Why efficient filtration is critical in hydraulic systems July 2023, Bearing Man Group t/a BMG Because filtration is the only effective defence against wear and tear when contaminants are present, it is critical that effective filter components are used.
Getting the drop on moisture and contamination control July 2023 Studies have shown that contaminated oils are responsible for 70 to 80% of system failures. The two primary causes are particulate and water contamination. The inclusion of in-line filtration or the installation of efficient return-line filters results in cleaner and more efficient systems.
