Maximise the efficiency of your compressed air installation

Energy consumption accounts for up to 70% of the lifestyle cost of a compressed air installation. Read below to discover how you can maximise your compressor room efficiency. 

Reduce Energy Consumption

Analysing, optimising and monitoring your compressed air system will enable you to reduce energy consumption

Maximum Uptime

Using the latest monitoring and control technologies ensures system stability and maximum uptime

Improve Efficiency

Discover opportunities to improve efficiency and follow up on savings

Understand Your Compressor

During maintenance, we will inspect your entire compressed air system. We inspect your compressors via the air net right through to the demand side. Based on these checks, we will help you to identify potential savings and recommend actions to achieve these savings.  

Re-use Your Energy

During the air compression process, a lot of heat can be generated. The thermal energy can be recovered. Recovering this thermal energy has become a proven method for the improvement of your plant's overall efficiency.

Upgrade Your Central Controls

If you are running a multiple compressor installation, a central control system contributes to a more accurate pressure output and reduced energy consumption. To improve efficiency, it is recommended to upgrade equipment to our latest technologies. 

Monitor Your Compressed Air Installation

To gain more insight in your air system remotely, we recommend data monitoring. Remote data monitoring enables you to detect problems, identify potential improvements and follow up on actual savings!

When using air compressors, there are many variables that are integral to the quality and effectiveness of your compressed air. When dryer air is necessary, being able to constantly and accurately monitor dew points can be a critical factor to your operation.


Compressed air plays an integral role in breweries both large and small around the world. From start to finish, all details in the brewing process are managed in fine detail and having the right air compressor is no exception.


We Kiwi's love our Coffee! Coffee, like all other food & beverage products, must go through a preservation process to keep the beans fresh during storage and packaging before they reach the consumer. Coffee that is not properly stored after it is roasted will lose a large amount of carbon dioxide, which lessens its' flavor and speeds up the staling process. One of the most common ways to preserve the freshness of coffee is the use of nitrogen gas. Learn more here:
