Compressed Air Energy Savings in the Glass Industry
In glass packaging plants, compressed air is a key utility for the production of virtually any type of glass container. In a typical glass packaging plant the demand for compressed air can easily exceed 30,000 to 35,000 Nm3/hr. At 1 to 2 cents per Nm3, and given the fact that most plants operate 24/7, this results in an annual energy bill of €3 to 6 million(1). With these figures, every ...

Compressed Air Pneumatics Demonstrated in Calgary
At the Petroleum show in Calgary, our Canadian distributor OilPro demonstrated CAP3. CAP3 (Compressed Air Pneumatics) replaces methane emission from pneumatic devices with compressed air. The annual U.S. emission reduction potential of CAP3 is about 40 million tons of CO2- equivalent (equivalent to taking 9.5 million cars off the road). Wholehearted thank you for everyone involved! ...

Smart compressed air measurement - Case Study
Air may be free, but compressed air certainly isn’t. Every day, leaks and inefficient compressors cost companies money and lead to more electricity usage. As air compressors churn away 24/7, endlessly maintaining the air pressure in compressed air distribution lines, dollars leak away from the bottom line. Measuring compressed air can be a big challenge. In many manufacturing companies ...

How does the sand blasting machine work?
A sandblasting machine is a machine that processes the surface properties of objects. The machine mainly uses compressed air as the main power to form a high-speed jet beam to process the surface of the object, thereby changing the mechanical properties of the surface of the object. The sandblasting machine is suitable for cleaning the rough surface of forging, stamping and machined parts, for ...
