New Partnership Challenges Compressed Air Wastage

As part of a strategic initiative to strengthen the service it provides to customers, Brammer, a leading distributor of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services, has teamed up with CEJN, a global quick connect specialist, to develop an air flow test service which can help reduce energy wastage and achieve significant cost savings.

Connecting the expertise of Brammer and CEJN, the Test Flow Survey programme has been developed to help optimise compressed air systems by reducing air wastage – which is often the result of incorrect fitting or faulty couplings. By conducting a site visit, the survey identifies air leakage issues, and offers recommendations and solutions that ensure an airtight, safe and effective system.

The launch of the new programme follows the formalisation of Brammer and CEJN’s strategic partnership last year, which has seen the organisations combine expertise to enhance the service they offer their customers. Part of the agreement has seen Brammer selected as a distributor of CEJN’s eSafe products, an innovative coupling range which can reduce compressed air energy consumption by up to 30%.

Grant Chaplain, Marketing Manager at CEJN, said: “Formalising our partnership with Brammer last year formed a wider strategy to provide our customers with a value-added service, and developing the Test Flow Survey programme is a central part of this. By offering a complete compressed air check and refit service, we’re able to identify the best solution for our customers and provide intelligent products that are energy efficient and increase productivity.”

Libby Peacock, Product Manager – Pneumatics at Brammer, added: “Compressed air wastage is still one of the biggest challenges our customers face, and joining together with CEJN has allowed us to hone our joint expertise and explore ways to tackle this. With recent reports suggesting greater pressure will be placed on organisations to reduce their energy consumption, the development of the Test Flow Survey program will not only help reduce their compressed air wastage decreasing energy bill costs, but also improve productivity too.”
