Equipment replacement

You should get a unit that matches your requirements. Buying an air compressor that’s bigger than you need is an easy way to waste money.

When replacing old equipment, consider whether the new equipment should use variable speed drives. These VSDs have the ability to adjust the speed of the motor on your equipment and they are particularly efficient when the demand for compressed air varies.

This flexibility enables them to use less energy, which will save you money. Fitting a system with a VSD can generate energy savings of up to 50%.^[1]
