Integral to industrial success, the rotary screw air compressor is that piece of industrial hardware that needs to keep working without much thought. In industrial settings, things go wrong. The WIFI gets interrupted, a machine breaks down, and the forklift is faulty- these are daily headaches.

However the air compressor is that one thing that workers can rely on day in day out year in year out. If the air compressor stops, the factory stops.

Naturally, we are singing the praises of the product we supply. In this article, our team has put together a series of industries that rely on rotary screw air compressors to keep their production moving.

Just like our farmers who rely heavily on rotary screw air compressors for food production, further down the chain, so does the food and beverage manufacturing industries. These units must work 24/7, influencing packaging driving pneumatic machinery, and fermentation by providing just the right amount of air and the exact time needed.

They are used in aeration for the baking process and keeping coolrooms cool. They run conveyors for bottling, canning, sealing, and labelling. They are used to clean. Vats, containers, surfaces, and equipment. They touch nearly every step of food and beverage manufacturing, and the numbers are significant.

Significant volumes and long hours require an air compressor system built to last with modern technology built in and, importantly, has the energy efficiency to save money and reduce the carbon footprint.

This is where Pilot Air technicians come in. Our specialised team runs a full diagnostic assessment of the plant and facility and customises a high tech rotary screw air compressor modulation that is scalable, fit for purpose, ultra reliable, and saves energy and money in the long term.

Cleanliness and quietness are the order of the day for machinery operations in the pharmaceutical industry. Rotary screw air compressors are a highly valued piece of production and manufacturing infrastructure. The air compressors power presses and filling machines, production lines, packaging, and bottling.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing is a detailed business and one with a high degree of regulatory oversight, particularly around sterile environments. The air compressors are critical to keeping the air filtration assembly running with clean, dry, and sterile air to ensure the integrity of the product.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing businesses take advantage of Pilot Air’s range of modern, technically advanced rotary screw air compressors, particularly the efficient ALTA-TEC series of variable speed air compressors with advanced login controllers, reduced energy consumption, and the latest generation air ends for the quietest rotary screw air compressor on the market.

Rotary screw air compressors are essential in heavy industries such as automotive and industrial manufacturing however, one from left field that many readers may not consider is the oil and gas Industry. Rotary screw air compressors are in demand for onshore and offshore operations. These air compressors are extensively employed to drive pneumatic tools on drilling rigs. They maintain pressure and are used for purging in pipeline operations. They power instrumentation and control systems in areas where electricity is hazardous, offering an excellent alternative to mitigate safety risks.

With few moving parts and less wear and tear, rotary screw air compressors require less maintenance, and their robust build quality and energy efficiency make them the air compressor of choice for remote and offshore locations.

Rotary screw air compressors are the unsung hero of industrial and manufacturing enterprises. They power tools, move product from point A to point B, clean, regulate product temperature, and offer many additional advantages.
