Compressed air costs cut
10 October 2015
Packaging specialist Crossgrove Associates has reduced the annual cost of its compressed air supply from £6450 to just £770, as a result of installing an energy-efficient GA11VSD+FF variable speed drive compressor from Atlas Copco.

When Atlas Copco Compressors’ premier distributor Pennine Pneumatic Services (PPS) was called to service the company’s original 37kW screw compressor, it found that the unit capacity was greater than necessary and there was potential for significant savings by replacing it with a new energy-efficient Atlas Copco VSD compressor.
Dave Jones, area sales manager at PPS commented: "Because the old compressor was so inefficient in its electricity usage, the new Atlas Copco variable speed drive compressor offered a significant reduction in running costs."
