Don't Make This Mistake Many businesses using bottled nitrogen could actually produce their own nitrogen at a fraction of the cost that they buy it. There are three underlying reasons for this: A vendor supplying you with bottled nitrogen uses cryogenic distillation which is very energy intensive and passes this cost on to its customers […]
Time to Implement Compressed Air System Measurement Up until very recently there have been two very good reasons why compressed air systems weren’t monitored beyond temperature and pressure. It was expensive to buy instruments capable of accurate measurements Cheap instruments were inaccurate Thankfully, technology has come to the rescue and there are now lots of […]
Sometimes there’s nothing quite like a reminder about the basics of various product categories. So we thought we’d take the time to review some of the major pump categories. Starting with the ever reliable Internal Gear Pump. How Does Internal Gear Pumps Work? The crescent internal gear pump has an outer or rotor gear that […]
Eric was interviewed by Charli Matthews on the Empowering Industry Podcast. The podcast is the hub for pumps and related industry insight and has been for the past 9 years. The host, Charli K. Matthews is the Founder and CEO of Empowering Brands. She has worked in the pump and equipment industry since 2005. […]
Optimizing Your Compressed Air System It’s interesting to me that a lot of compressed air systems are allowed to grow organically. Pumping systems are precisely engineered. Requirements are specified exactly. The system is evaluated on paper, future-proofed. Those designs are evaluated and double checked… Compressed air systems are not specified per se. Compressed air […]
We’re back for another edition of “Know Your Pumps.” This time we take a look at another member of the positive displacement pump family: lobe pumps. How Do Lobe Pumps Work? Lobe pumps are similar to external gear pumps in operation, except the pumping elements or lobes do not make contact. Lobe contact is prevented by […]
I know that we’ve been hearing a lot about oil free air compressors of late. Some of you might be wondering about the hype. I believe they are worth the hype and they can represent incredible value to the right customer. I suspect that as we move forward and the technology becomes more widespread, the […]
Compressed air has become a vital utility in the day-to-day operations of most companies. Businesses are well aware of the need for compressors, but there is considerable debate as to which of the two most popular types – rotary screw or reciprocating – works best in an application. As a supplier of Gardner Denver compressors, today […]
Rotary Screw Compressors by Pye Barker Whatever industrial sector you work in, rotary screw compressors are an important part of your daily routine. Compressed air has become the fourth utility and is just as vital to production, in most cases, as electricity, gas, and water. If you regularly use a rotary screw air compressor in Georgia, […]
As with most pressure / splash lubed equipment, air compressors require lubrication to keep them operating efficiently and minimize the impact of wear and tear, as well as to cool and seal internal pump / airend components. By reducing friction, proper lubrication with Gardner Denver compressor oil in Georgia can reduce heat and lower the compressor’s […]
