Haighs Bakery in Leeds has been
providing local bakeries, corner
shops, schools, restaurants and
catering companies with a plethora
of baked goods such as bread, cakes
and savouries for more than 60 years
and operates 24h/day, 6 days a week.

Compressed air is used to power
wrapping machines at the bakery.

Production has increased over the
last few year’s and Adam Haigh,
director, was aware that an ageing
compressor was no longer able to
meet demand. Boge Compressors
reviewed the system and
recommended its C 7 LDR.

The C LDR is used by many small
compressed air users that require a
compact compressed air station. A
CL series screw compressor and a
refrigerant dryer are mounted on a
horizontal compressed air receiver,
requiring only a minimum footprint.

Low sound pressure values also make
this suitable for point-of-use tasks.

Integration of all essential
components in the compact Boge
air-end module virtually eliminates
external pipe-work thereby reducing
internal flow losses for an efficient
and dependable compressor station
solution.

Haigh said “We did get several
quotes for this project, but Boge
came back with the best package. A
real selling point was the option to
rent. Boge maintains the equipment;
the compressor just produces the air
that we need and we don’t have to
worry about anything else. In fact we
do not touch the compressor at all.
It’s on 24h and is computer
controlled so that if there was a fault
(not that we have had one) it would
switch itself off and Boge would send
out an engineer to repair the fault.”
