Did you know, reducing air leaks on your compressed air system is the single most important energy-saving measure that can be performed?
The leak rate on an unmanaged compressed air system can be as high as 40% of your total usage. A single 1.5mm hole can flow 3.8cfm and could cost over £450 per annum.
Reducing your leak rate not only reduces the amount of Compressed Air needed to maintain system pressure but can also reduce maintenance costs and increase the service life of your compressed air equipment.
