Air quality directly impacts the performance and lifespan of downstream equipment.  Contaminants such as moisture, oil, and particulates pose serious risks to product quality, operational uptime, and regulatory compliance. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) outlines standards under ISO 8573:2010 to classify air purity, which serves as a baseline for determining system requirements. This guide…

Unexpected failures don’t wait for a service appointment. Compressed air systems can become a point of failure when treating maintenance reactively instead of proactively. Remote monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT) technology give you the tools to act before small issues lead to costly downtime. They shift maintenance strategies from reactive to predictive. Predictive maintenance…

As a trusted compressed air supplier, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Should I choose an oil-flooded or oil-free air compressor?”  The answer depends on your specific needs, industry requirements, and operational priorities. To help you make an informed decision, let’s break down the key differences between these two types of air…

Unplanned compressor downtime drains money, time, and resources. The unpredictability of a breakdown can drastically delay production and lead to substantial financial loss. Rotary screw compressors are one of the most commonly used air compressors for industrial settings. They are powerful, customizable, and designed to run at 100% duty cycle.  However, even the highest-performing compressors…

Cost savings from your air compressor could be vanishing into thin air- literally. Compressed air systems generate heat as a byproduct of air compression. Typically, excess heat is dissipated or rejected, but with heat recovery technology, businesses can harness and reuse this energy. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the science behind heat recovery systems…

Have you noticed your energy bill climbing over the last year? Your compressed air system could be to blame. In fact, a large portion of the total energy bill in industrial plants and manufacturing facilities can often be attributed to compressed air systems.    To combat excessive energy consumption, Air Handling Equipment offers energy audits. Energy…

Expanding a business often means growing demands on equipment, and coordinating multiple air compressors can quickly become a logistical challenge for businesses reliant on compressed air systems. Each unit requires careful management  to ensure efficient operation, optimal energy use, and extended equipment life.   A Sequencing system offers a solution for managing multiple compressors efficiently. However,…

Nitrogen makes up roughly 78% of Earth’s atmosphere and is one of the most readily available gasses. At Air Handling Equipment, we believe receiving nitrogen for your operations should be as readily available as the gas itself. On-site nitrogen generators capture and convert nitrogen from the atmosphere, eliminating the need for traditional delivery methods that…

Compressor breakdowns happen unexpectedly. Production halts, and every minute lost is money down the drain. Industrial air compressor rentals offer a flexible and cost-effective solution to keep your business moving forward, no matter the situation. At Air Handling Equipment, we’ve seen the challenges businesses face when their air compressors fail or when they simply need…

Summer is here, and it’s a hot one. While businesses cannot control the summer heat, they can effectively manage how their compressed air systems operate under these conditions. Ensuring optimal air compressor performance, especially in industrial settings, requires understanding the effects of high temperatures and implementing strategic measures to combat them.  Businesses operating in high-temperature…
