We can install all types of compressors, blowers, vacuum pumps and associated accessories for you. All the necessary pipework within your premises can also be included.
We will carry out a detailed survey at your premises.
By taking time over the initial design of your compressed air system, we believe you will end up with a more efficient system operation for your business.
By helping you select and design the proper equipment and layout for your operation, we also provide you with a good foundation for the expansion and growth of your business in the future.
We will install all your machines to the relevant industry standards. In addition, we can also advise the best place to locate all your units for their best performance.
Complete systems are our specialty. Depending on your business application, we can install a wide variety of piping including malleable iron, aluminium pipework and flexible hoses for you.
The oil injected rotary screw compressor is a positive displacement type compressor.
A given quantity of air or gas is trapped in a compression chamber and the space that it occupies is mechanically reduced, causing a corresponding rise in pressure prior to discharge.
A rotary screw compressor has a pair of intermeshing rotors housed in a suitable casing to produce compression.
Referred to generally as a twin screw compressor each rotor comprises of a set of helical lobes affixed to a shaft.
One rotor is called the male rotor and the other rotor is the female rotor. The number of lobes on the male rotor, and the number of flutes on the female, will vary from one compressor manufacturer to another. However, the female rotor will always have numerically more valleys (flutes) than the male rotor lobes for better efficiency.
Male lobe acts like a continuous piston rolling down female flute which acts like a cylinder trapping air and reducing space continuously.

A rotary vane compressor always compresses the gas to the design pressure defined by the manufacturer, regardless of the pressure in the system in which the compressor is discharging.
This is a positive-displacement pump that consists of vanes mounted to a rotor that rotates inside a cavity.
The vane-type compressor consists of a cylindrical rotor with longitudinal slots in which radial sliding vanes are fitted.
The rotor is positioned eccentrically within a cylindrical housing.
The spaces between adjacent vanes form pockets of decreasing volume from a fixed inlet port to a fixed discharge port.
Compressor inlet and discharge valves are not employed in the design.
The following application of rotary vane compressor are:
• Agriculture
• Body shop and Automotives
• Dry cleaning
• Energy
• Food and beverages
• Manufacturing
• Medical and Dental.
The following advantages of rotary vane compressor are:
• This is oil-free air output.
• This is suitable for continuous air supplied.
Compressed air frequently contains dust, oil, rust, moisture and other harmful substances, and therefore requires filtration.
In the first stage of filtration, the compressed air passes through a tube-shaped mesh filter, which creates a coalescence effect. Here bigger particles are adsorbed on the filter and the water will condense into larger droplets, which can then pass into the separation chamber.
The compressed air is slowed down, which makes the particles condense on a honeycomb-like pad, allowing the water droplets to travel to the bottom of the drainage system and through an automatic or electric drain valve to the discharge.
In the first filtration stage more than 95% of the water droplets, oil and large particles are removed. This practice is most common for removing water, but is also used for removing oil.
In the second filtration stage, the air is passed through a fibre filter. This process generates thousands of small vortices and other disturbances that cause the airflow to be less uniform. In doing this, the air comes into contact with more surface area of the filtration medium.
Fine particulate is then captured because it will not fit through the small pores in the fibre filter. However, there will be a small pressure drop due to the added resistance to the airflow.
Refrigerant dryers are the most commonly used dryers in the industry and consist of an air-to-air heat exchanger and an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger.
The heat exchangers remove moisture from your compressed air by condensation of water within.
This is essential to protect compressed air systems and every piece of equipment fed by compressed air from the harmful effects of moisture.
Clean, dry compressed air is essential in every efficient and profitable manufacturing.
Ambient air contains high levels of moisture, dust, hydrocarbons and other contaminants and, when left untreated, the results are corrosion, bacteria, mould growth and freezing within your compressed air lines.
This contamination can cause damage to downstream equipment and lead to increased maintenance, downtime and product spoilage.
While compressed air filters will remove solid particulate, liquid and aerosols, they cannot remove the moisture that remains in the form of vapor.
This vapor can condensate into liquid water throughout your compressed air system as the pressure and temperature of the compressed air changes.
Various models and types of oil/water separators, waste management to suit your needs.
Condensate management systems use filtration technologies to separate oil from the condensate.
This allows the small amount of collected oil to be disposed of separately as contaminated waste by a licenced Hazardous Waste Contractor.
The “cleaned condensate” can safely be disposed of down a foul sewer drain.
