Is It Time to Upgrade Your Compressed Air System?

Posted on April 12, 2013 by admin

There are a lot of things that we upgrade during our lives: airline tickets, automobiles, kitchens and bathrooms, and most definitely our computers and mobile phones. We’re accustomed to upgrading products or technologies that help us function better or operate more efficiently, and that should include your compressed air system.

At McKenzie Air, we want to help our customers stay competitive and that’s why part of our service offering focuses on upgrading your products to the latest technology available for your existing equipment range. If you’ve taken the step to have an Efficiency Quotient® (EQ) analysis performed at your plant, you may have discovered that some or all of your equipment is in need of an upgrade.

Intelligent use and the sustained health of core parts and equipment greatly affect the bottom line when it comes to the lifetime optimization of your air compressor system. Upgrading your equipment with the latest technology will help you optimize overall compressor performance, increase equipment reliability, lengthen life and prevent unnecessary downtime due to equipment breakdowns. When these benefits are combined, they yield substantial energy savings, which in turn saves you money.

If you are ready to say goodbye to unnecessary downtime, equipment malfunctions or inefficient operations, please call 1-800-764-9793 or use our Contact Form.

Maintaining Your Compressed Air System

Posted on March 28, 2013 by admin

Remember the old saying “an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure?” It’s true,  especially when it comes to maintaining your compressed air system. The annual maintenance cost of an air compressor is usually between 5-10% of the system’s cost. That may seem steep, but regularly monitoring equipment and carefully planning a maintenance schedule can prevent costly repairs in the future.

So, what’s an ideal maintenance schedule for a compressed air system?

There are several ways to maintain your McKenzie Air equipment from day one. Our specialists will visit your facilities and assess your system’s needs before proposing the most cost effective maintenance schedule for your equipment. We can also send staff at predetermined intervals, taking the guesswork out of scheduling, and lowering the risk of unexpected problems. And in case of emergency, McKenzie Air technicians are available to provide on-site service to our customers 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year.

Remember, well-planned maintenance helps you anticipate costs and ultimately extends the life of your compressor and its auxiliary equipment.

Clean Resources CRP Paks

Posted on January 31, 2013 by admin

Established in 1997, Clean Resources is the manufacturer of CRP Paks for condensate management.

CRP Paks are engineered to minimize maintenance and clean up headaches, operate efficiently in all conditions, and reduce the cost of dealing with wastewater streams. This advanced molecular filtration system removes all types of lubricants, providing a truly scientific solution to a troublesome problem.

CRP Paks are filled with molecular filtration media of the highest quality alumino silicate substrate that absorbs lubricants from waste water, locks them in, and allows the cleansed discharge water to flow clean to the drain, virtually eliminating the possibility of ground water contamination.

The filtration media is so efficient that CRP Paks do not require prefiltration and so do not need all the equipment associated with pre-filtration such as pumps, sensors, or pre-separation filter pads

Rugged internal piping and a fail-safe decompression chamber assure proper operation.

CRP Paks work with both emulsified and non-emulsified lubricants.

For more information on Clean Resources CRP Paks, please call McKenzie Air at 1-800-764-9793 or use our Contact Form.
