Compressors: the importance of siting
The efficiency of any compressor is largely dependent on where it’s sited, and the condition and layout of the pipework. Andy Jones, managing director at Mattei, explains more

Mattei has modified the air end of its compression technology to create a new gas compressor that can be used to compress a variety of gases, including natural gas (methane) and bio gas.
Energy efficiency requirements for compressors are likely to get tighter through the Ecodesign Directive for compressors (Lot 31), commonly referred to as the ErP (Energy-related Products) Directive. Though the details still need to be ironed out, it’s likely that in the near future a significant percentage of the compressors on the market today will no longer be legally sellable – meaning huge changes for the industry. Andy Jones, managing director at Mattei, tells us more
Rotary vane compressor manufacturer Mattei has acquired vehicle mounted power solutions provider Winton Engineering. The acquisition will enhance Mattei’s range of specialist engineered products, which include transit-related solutions for the rail sector and the hybrid and electric vehicles markets, and will broaden growth opportunities for Mattei’s global team.
Compressors generate a lot of waste heat, which can be recovered and used for space or water heating in order to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. However, as using the waste heat for space or water heating is not always practical, the compressed air industry is seeing the development of a new process that generates useful electrical energy instead.

News that the Ecodesign Directive (widely referred to as ErP) preparatory study for compressors has been widened to include low pressure and oil-free compressors means even more products will potentially be affected, and further delays to the publication of the associated Ecodesign Regulations can be expected, according to Andy Jones, managing director at Mattei.
RELIABLE, EFFICIENT, LOW-MAINTENANCE COMPRESSED AIR SOLUTION FOR FAVERSHAM LINEN SERVICES…
When Faversham Linen Services was devastated by fire, the owner seized the opportunity to build a greener, more efficient operation in its place. Alongside investment in some of the most advanced laundry equipment in the world, the company chose variable and fixed speed compressors from Mattei.
Rotary vane compressor manufacturer Mattei has been named winner of Project of the Year at the inaugural Motion Control Industry Awards.
