Rising electricity prices continue to challenge manufacturers, and few realise how much of that cost is tied up in compressed air. For many factories, air compressors run almost continuously, yet large amounts of energy are wasted through pressure losses, leaks, and idling machines.
To address this, West Midlands Compressors Ltd has introduced a compressor data logging and energy audit service. Using advanced airINSITE technology from CompAir, the system records a compressor’s electrical and pneumatic performance every second over a seven-day period.
The process is simple: our engineers fit compact sensors to measure voltage, current, pressure, and flow without interrupting production. The data is then analysed to reveal true energy use and identify where savings can be made.
For many businesses, the findings are eye-opening — off-load running and unnecessary pressure margins can add thousands of pounds to annual electricity bills. By acting on the results, companies can reduce costs, cut carbon emissions, and improve reliability.
As an authorised distributor for CompAir, Mattei, Champion, and Anest Iwata, West Midlands Compressors provides complete compressed-air solutions across Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
