Centrifugal Compressors for the Plastics Industry

Industry Requirements

Plastics manufacturers require a reliable and clean air supply to keep up with the growing demand.

Plastics are used in almost every facet of modern life and due to high demand, plastics manufacturers are challenged to keep their operations running 24/7 while minimizing costs. Since vast majorities of plastic products are used in applications that require clean, high-quality materials, such as the medical or food processing industries, the compressed air used to produce these materials must be clean and reliable.

Industry Solution

Oil-free compressed air allows plastics manufacturers to maintain high-quality standards and minimize operational spending.

Compressed air comes into direct contact with many plastics manufacturing applications. To ensure the finished product maintains the high-quality standard the customer requires, FS-Elliott offers plastics manufacturers the Polaris compressor series, which provides ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free air. A robust compressor design paired with low lifecycle operating costs ensures plastics manufacturers receive a reliable and cost-effective compressed air supply.
