The Operational Excellence team has been working on compressor management and efficiency guide as part of the 50,0001-energy audit and a compressor efficiency project in Readymix.

The team has created a comprehensive guide on the subject, which outlines the various factors that affect compressor efficiency, such as the type and model of the compressor, its size, usage, maintenance frequency, and environmental conditions.

The guide highlights common causes of compressor inefficiency, including irregular maintenance, low-quality air intake, poor system design, high operating pressure, dirty air filters, and inadequate lubrication. To address these issues, the guide provides practical steps to prevent overheating and the importance of performing regular maintenance. It aims to help teams optimise their compressor systems, ensuring efficient and reliable operation throughout the year.

You can view the guide on Sway HERE. It is a valuable guide in helping to improve the efficiency of your compressor systems.
