A large aluminum can manufacturer had multiple compressors in two separate locations of the plant; three centrifugal machines in one room and two centrifugal compressors and a spiral valve rotary screw in another.
Their existing compressors originated from three different OEM manufacturer. Despite doing some OEM based upgrades, the plant still had large pressure swings and a lot of wasted blowoff air on the centrifugal compressors.
Case iZ performed a thorough compressed air audit and identified several areas for improvement. One of those recommendations that was implemented was new compressor controls and system automation. The compressor blowoff was eliminated and wasted energy was significantly reduced.
They were also able to turn off at least one compressor, which allowed increased capacity to meet more production volume seamlessly.
