Savings and peace of mind
Unhappy with the performance of its compressor, the Gateshead outlet of Johnsons Apparelmaster turned to Thorite for advice.

A sales engineer visited the site and agreed that the compressor, used to power laundry equipment, was inefficient. He recommended an HPC compressor with integral dryer, which would boost efficiency and occupy minimal space.
The HPC ASD50T SFC has a capacity of 1.05-5.18m³/min at 7.5 bar, Sigma Control 2, a 25KW variable speed motor which can match its output to varying demand, and integral dryer.
Carl Oakden, operations support manager, says: “The increase in performance and efficiency has been quite dramatic, producing energy savings of over £100/week, or well in excess of £5000/year, plus the bonus of a reduced carbon footprint. Thorite provides ongoing service for the installation, so it’s a win-win situation as we’ve got complete peace of mind with worthwhile savings.”
