Big decisions require expert advice

Installing the most effective compressed air solution is a critical decision. Flow rates, pressure, air quality, size, performance, energy efficiency, reliability and cost all determine which solution will provide the most effective solution, considering your business needs now and your ambitions for the future.

Pilot Air’s technicians use the most advanced diagnostic software and undertake a comprehensive assessment of your site and requirements. Analysing the data, we provide qualified advice on performance, energy efficiency and scalability.

Mitigating contamination

Contamination is a significant risk factor in the beverage manufacturing sector, with multiple opportunities for contamination. Pilot Air’s food-grade oil-free air compressor solutions mitigate the risk while guaranteeing performance.

Our custom-designed solutions provide clean, uncontaminated air, free of oil and other impurities. Pilot Air’s oil-free air compressors help maintain the quality and safety of products.
