For industries using compressed air systems, moisture is an enemy. Before air dryers were implemented, accumulated moisture created costly problems throughout the entire operation. The rusting or corrosion of a system often led to malfunctioning of pneumatic controls, incorrect readings and advanced wear and tear of moving pneumatic parts. The uncontrolled spurts of oily condensate would ruin work in progress,…
Managers in every industry should always make sure that their factory or workplace equipment operates at an optimal level. They can monitor the functionality of their equipment whilst conducting preventive maintenance. Just like all industrial equipment, compressed air filters should be replaced or repaired when damaged to ensure a compressed air system is free from contaminants. Water, oils and dirt…
Systems that handle compressed air should be made with materials that meet safety and reliability standards. Here at Air Energy, we pride ourselves on being the first to bring the MaXair poly pipe to Australia, the blue poly pipes that exceed most of Australia’s manufacturing standards. These pipes are manufactured from PE100, providing for compressed air systems components that can…
In the compressed air and pipe systems industry, there is a long list of options. From the equipment designed for industry use to the press fittings that connect everything together, engineers and system builders have the luxury of choice. This is due, in no small part, to the ability of manufacturers in the industry to innovate. Here, we look at two easy-to-confuse…
Compressed air is very expensive, and it is a significant expense across many industries. However, compressed air systems and their parts continue to innovate for the better. High-technology hardware, automation and improved industrial compressors have paved the way for more efficient operations. There are more opportunities to improve compressed handling. Here, we discuss the many ways you can make your…
There is no greater luck than having so much of something so useful. At Air Energy, we make use of nitrogen’s less biological functions, of which there are plenty. We supply and install nitrogen generators for various companies in various industries. If you want to get an idea of how much nitrogen plays into the products and services you use…
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air, by volume. It is obtained in a number of ways, we are mostly concerned with companies generating their own Nitrogen from compressed air as an alternative to expensive bottled nitrogen. Around 45 million tonnes of Nitrogen is extracted each year from the air we breathe. Nitrogen gas is an industrial gas produced by…
Compressed air systems require big budgets to run. In fact, studies show that 10–15% of Australia’s industrial electrical use comes from compressed air. They are notorious for gobbling electricity, especially when they develop faults. Given this, is it possible for companies to reduce the cost of compressed air systems? It is, and compressed air audits are the best way to…
Power tools and other heavy equipment often dominate a workshop. While they are some of the most reliable components, there are other options available. Air-powered tools provide a number of benefits for any workshop, and here are the reasons why. Light And Energy Efficient Air-powered tools use compressed air to operate, unlike conventional equipment that are powered by electricity and…
