7 Ways to Save Money on your Compressed Air operating costs

Here are your tips...
1.  Find and fix your air leaks
A small leak - no larger than 1/16" can cost an extra $523 a year.* Add a few other small leaks here and there until you have leaks equal to a 1/4" opening...and now that "small leak" can cost you over $8,000 a year.* It is easy to see that what seems like a small leak comes with a very high price tag over time.Click here to see how to estimate what percent of your CFM’s are air leaks.



2. Lower Air Pressure
A 2 psig change in pressure equals 1% change in horsepower.
Click here to see a chart for AIR FLOW THROUGH ORIFICES and see how dropping pressure can change the amount of CFM used and you’ll save all that energy needed to make that CFM.  Check to see what CFM your equipment actually needs to run efficiently and adjust your pressure to save energy yet still provide the CFM required.


3. Use Synthetic Air Compressor Oil and you can reduce AMP draw an average of 8%.

4. Turn off your air compressor when it is not in use.


5. Eliminate any compressed air flow restrictionMake sure your air line filters are clean.
Make sure your piping is not too small.

6. Use ZERO AIR LOSS DRAINS
This prevents wasting compressed air

7. Keep compressor inlet filter cleanIf your Compressor cannot suck in air- then it cannot blow out the air you need.
