Industry Requirements & Applications
Plastics manufacturers must maintain consistent product quality and fast production cycles while controlling scrap and energy costs.
Plastics manufacturing depends on repeatable processes to produce parts with consistent dimensions, appearance, and performance. Equipment interruptions or variations in operating conditions can affect cycle times, increase rejected parts, and disrupt production schedules.
Compressed air supports material handling, molding operations, and automated equipment throughout the facility. Manufacturers need air quality appropriate to the application, particularly where air contacts products intended for food packaging or medical use. Reliable pressure and flow, efficient operation, and manageable maintenance requirements help keep production moving while controlling costs.

The risk of trace oil reaching the finished product or oil contamination in equipment lines leading to
higher maintenance and downtime is avoided with a centrifugal compressor. Condensate generated
from a centrifugal compressor is not subject to the same local regulations as oil-contaminated
condensate, allowing for easy and low-cost disposal.
