Join compressed air expert Andy Poplin, Compressed Air Sales Manager for Louisville-based Atlas Machine & Supply, as he reviews lessons-learned at a major plant with significant metal fabrication and machining operations.
This Webinar will review plant-floor measures taken to reduce compressed air consumption specific to metal fabrication and machining. These projects included:
- Optimized parts cooling and drying applications
- Modified pneumatic circuits and cabinet coolers
- Improved system with vortex vacuum pumps
The lower demand levels translated into air compressor energy savings by changes made on the “supply-side” within the compressor room. The end result included turning OFF several hundred horsepower of air compressor power, lowering annual energy costs. Supply-side corrective actions included:
- Implemented air management system
- Eliminated all inlet modulation
- Reconfigured control scheme to base/trim
