FPS Compressors and Compressed Air Systems UK provided a system to Armac Martin capable of variable compressed air supply, identified through data logging and energy audit exercises.

Armac Martin specialises in crafting brass hardware and accessories. The company has a portfolio spanning brass hardware, shelf brackets and mirrors.

Armac Martin relies on compressed air for CNC machining, but their existing system operated at full capacity constantly, leading to unnecessary energy expenditure.

Reducing energy consumption was their primary driver and the solution recommended and adopted allows for variable compressed air. Armac Martin’s previous compressed air system ran at full capacity all of the time, whereas the solution they have can reduce the power needed by only supplying what is required.

The transition to the new compressed air system was accompanied by training to ensure proficiency in operation.

Post-installation, Armac Martin achieved improvements in energy efficiency without disrupting manufacturing operations. Key highlights include:

  • Reduced manufacturing energy consumption
  • Smooth operation without downtime
  • Compressed Air Systems UK - Birmingham are experts in first class compressed air installations
  • Compressed air - a vital utility
  • According to FPS, the transition to a variable compressed air supply system yielded a 46% reduction in compressor energy consumption, translating to £23,637.00 in annual savings. With an installation process and comprehensive training, Armac Martin experienced uninterrupted operations. The return on investment (ROI) for this sustainable initiative was achieved in 14 months.
