Enhancing Efficiency: Airwave VARI-Speed Compressor Installation at Kidderminster

At West Midlands Compressors Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering top-tier solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. Recently, we completed a significant project for a client in Kidderminster, supplying and installing the robust Airwave VARI-Speed Variable Speed Compressor, paired with the efficient AirDry RD-90 air dryer. This new setup is designed to power a 3″ diaphragm pump for a glue mixer, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Project Overview

Our client required a high-performance compressed air system capable of supporting their glue mixing operations. The solution needed to be both powerful and efficient, handling the demands of their 3″ diaphragm pump while maintaining consistent performance. After a thorough assessment of their needs, we recommended the Airwave VARI-Speed Compressor, a model renowned for its versatility and reliability.

Key Features of the Airwave VARI-Speed Compressor

• Power and Performance: The Airwave VARI-Speed boasts a 20hp/15Kw motor, delivering a substantial 79 CFM. This ensures that the compressor can meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications, including operating the 3″ diaphragm pump required for the glue mixer.
• Variable Speed Technology: One of the standout features of this compressor is its variable speed technology, which adjusts the compressor’s output to match the demand. This results in significant energy savings and reduced wear and tear on the system.
• Pressure Range: Operating within a 6-10 Bar range, the compressor provides the necessary flexibility to handle various tasks, ensuring that the glue mixer operates smoothly and efficiently.
• Large Capacity: The 300L tank mounted with the compressor offers ample storage for compressed air, ensuring a steady supply even during peak usage.

Enhanced Efficiency with AirDry RD-90 Air Dryer

To complement the Airwave VARI-Speed Compressor, we installed the AirDry RD-90 air dryer. This unit is designed to remove moisture from the compressed air, which is crucial for preventing damage and maintaining the efficiency of the diaphragm pump and glue mixer.

• Optimal Drying Performance: The AirDry RD-90 ensures that the compressed air is free of moisture, which is vital for applications where even a small amount of water can cause issues.
• Reliability: By consistently delivering dry air, the RD-90 helps extend the lifespan of the equipment it supports, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
