Companies invest in energy efficient compressors to help reduce costs
Leading compressor manufacturer CompAir has reported a successful six months, demonstrating resilience in the compressed air market during the economic downturn. The figures correspond with a Carbon Trust survey carried out at the end of last year, which highlighted that businesses are still investing in new technology as a way to use less energy and subsequently reduce costs.
CompAir has seen a positive start to its financial year, with a steady rise in sales of compressors. Modern compressors are more energy efficient, leading businesses to replace outdated equipment. The Carbon Trust survey showed that businesses have put investment in energy efficiency measures at the top of their agenda when looking to reduce costs, ahead of recruitment freezes and redundancies. In addition, the report suggested that if all small businesses in the UK were to invest in energy efficiency measures, they could collectively save £1.3billion a year.
Colin Mander, Managing Director of CompAir UK and Ireland, explains: “It might seem unusual to replace equipment which might be working perfectly well and has always been reliable, but it could have a huge impact on running costs. Older compressed air systems will be less energy efficient than modern ones, so businesses that choose to update their machines can benefit from substantial savings.”
CompAir’s product range features a number of machines which have been specifically designed with energy efficiency in mind. Its latest product, the QuantimaTM oil-free compressor, can achieve energy savings of 10 per cent, resulting in a significant reduction in running costs and carbon emissions.
