While compressed air is a crucial part of many industries, untreated compressed air always contains contaminants – such as water (vapor), oil (vapor), microorganisms, dirt and trace gases. These contaminants can cause damage to product equipment, corrosion of metals, bad quality end products or air pollution. Often also the main constituents of air - oxygen and nitrogen - are unwanted. Air treatment systems are thus crucial to protect your equipment, products and people.
Our competence team will work with you to understand your air treatment needs and will come up with the right solutions. Thanks to our wide and innovative product portfolio we can offer guaranteed purity, while maintaining lowest costs and energy levels.
We are capable of handling your requests in the most flexible way: from the smallest adaptations to the most complex requirements. For Pneumatech, your company’s success is paramount. You can count on us to maximize your protection, production and profitability
Since 1966, Pneumatech has provided industry-leading compressed air and gas treatment solutions to customers across the globe.

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:

It’s no secret – air compressors are excellent sources of energy. Not only do they power essential manufacturing elements and applications, but the heat generated as a result of the compressed air processes can be used as a byproduct that offsets other energy costs. However, there’s another form of energy that is also a consequence of the air compression process – sound.

The emergency stop, "e-stop", is for true emergency situations only. When hitting the e-stop, all power is halted from the machine
and the unload process isn't achieved. The emergency stop button is intended to help with possibly hazardous situations that are developing.
Common conditions of having to use the e-stop is the misuse of the equipment in ways that weren’t intended, predictable failures not
addressed or failing to consider all the foreseeable uses of the compressor.
