articleThe spread of Industry 4.0 has allowed manufacturers to ensure that air compressors operate with greater energy efficiency and more reliability. Mark Whitmore explains the benefits of integrating Industry 4.0 into the manufacturing environment
articleWhen compressed air is generated, heat is inevitably produced as a by-product. Anyone looking to enhance efficiency can use this heat and increase the efficiency of compressors to about 95% as a result. To achieve this, there are easy-fit heat exchangers which can even be fitted to existing stations. This investment often pays for itself within less than a year. Mark Whitmore, general manager at BOGE Compressors, explains
