CASE STUDY
Paperboard Manufacturer Saves Over $135K Annually with Centrifugal Compression
Facing rising maintenance and energy costs, a paperboard manufacturer operating five rotary screw compressors sought a more efficient solution to meet its production demands. By transitioning to centrifugal compression, the manufacturer reduced operating expenses and introduced oil-free compressed air to its processes, achieving more than $135,000 in annual maintenance and energy savings.
Explore the full case study to learn how centrifugal compression helped the manufacturer improve operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and achieve significant annual savings.
Insights & Resources
Why Manufacturers Are Switching to Oil-Free Compressed Air
Compressed air is often called the fourth utility, but in many manufacturing environments, it also plays a direct role in product quality, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. That makes air quality more important than many facilities realize.
The Importance of Energy Efficiency
Many manufacturers know that compressed air is often called the Fourth Utility. After water, electricity, and natural gas, compressed air is equally crucial for manufacturing, and luckily there are solutions to help improve energy efficiency to save costs and reduce greenhouse emissions. Additionally, increased efficiency is essential for ESG initiatives that ensure a healthy world for customers, employees, and communities.
Why Use OEM Air Filters for Your Compressor?
Keeping up with preventative maintenance is a vital part of maintaining a compressor’s efficiency and lifespan. This requires periodic replacement of air compressor parts such as air filters and lubricants.
