High quality compressed air is vital to manufacturing excellence
25 January 2013
Compressed air is widely used throughout industry, so much so that it is often regarded as the fourth utility. However, unlike electricity, gas and water, it is unique in that it is generated on-site rather than delivery by an external service provider.

Compressed air is widely used throughout industry, so much so that it is often regarded as the fourth utility. However, unlike electricity, gas and water, it is unique in that it is generated on-site rather than delivery by an external service provider.
However, with compressed air, the quality and costs associated with its generation and subsequent use are solely in the hands of the user, including the required level of contaminant removal.
When contemplating the purchase of any compressed air treatment equipment, air quality, energy efficiency and lifetime costs should always be considered.
Correctly specified equipment for the effective removal of contamination will guarantee high air quality and system efficiencies, both required to keep a modern industrial plant operating at full capacity, and, as a consequence, with improved quality of manufactured products.
To achieve the highest quality compressed air, effective filtration is necessary to not only remove dirt, water and oil contamination from the system, but also to protect the compressed air dryer, which, if installed, has the arduous duty of eliminating damaging water vapour.
Compressed air filters and dryers also need to be regularly maintained to ensure continued delivery of premier quality air at minimum operational costs.
By guaranteeing air quality whilst ensuring that energy consumption is kept to a minimum, Parker domnick hunter compressed air treatment products can reduce the total cost of ownership and help improve profitability through improved manufacturing efficiencies and plant reliability.
A number of key benefits are therefore possible from correctly specified Parker domnick hunter compressed air treatment equipment.
• 100% Uptime
• Highest quality compressed air
• Lowest energy consumption and costs
• Reduced operational costs
• Guaranteed Air quality
• Improved product quality
• Increased productivity and profitability
• Continued peace of mind is guaranteed
• Performance guarantee can be extended with recommended maintenance
• Oil-free air can be produced from an oil-lubricated compressor at a fraction of the cost of a new compressor
• Continued protection of downstream compressed air treatment equipment, personnel and processes
