A new industrial air compressor is not the sort of machine that should be purchased via the internet and certainly we would not recommend it. The choice of machines available to us to quote is vast and allows us to "tailor" a machine exactly to your needs. To ensure you are delighted with your purchase, we prefer to visit your site to see what you do and to find out what you want or expect from a new air compressor. Our engineers will consider many things before they recommend a machine to you. We are not "hard sellers". We are not trying to sell the easiest machine. We are trying to engineer a solution to your needs and wants.
Some of the things we consider before recommending a compressor system for you are:
- The cleanliness of the site and the impact your production may have on any proposed air compressor. Eg. chemicals, dust, gases etc.
- The availability of enough power to operate the proposed compressor.
- Your requirement for standby air.
- The cleanliness of compressed air required.
- The noise level desired.
- The physical area available for installation.
- The logistics of installation - ie lifting equipment required etc.
- Sizing of existing piping and if it is big enough for the new compressor.
- Would an overhaul of existing air compressor/s be a better solution?
- Power savings available from different types of air compressors.
- Try to test or quantify the volume of air leaks and put a cost to those.
- Air treatment (air drying or filtering) products that may be required
- Air receiver sizing for correct load cycling of the proposed new compressor
- Initial purchase price
- Expected life span
- Economical life span
- Ecological impact of the proposed air compressor
- Total cost of ownership, including power costs, maintenance and capital cost
- Any built in obsolecense of any proposed air compressor.
- Future growth expected in this plant
- If you had a mixture of air compressor sizes, would a computerised compressor controller be a better solution?
From this you may now realise there are many things that impact on the success of any compressed air installation. Southern Cross Compressors have the necessary Compressed Air Technology to ensure you get the optimal solution for your needs.
