Rogers Machinery Articles & Case Studies

This article will cover everything you need to know about choosing the best vacuum pump for your facility and application. We discuss some of the applications best suited for an oil-lubricated vs. oil-free vacuum pump, when you would want to control your system with a variable speed drive, and break down the top 6 situations a fixed speed drive for an oil-lubricated vacuum pump is best.

Compressed air piping is a vital component of any compressed air system. Whether you’re delivering air to food packaging lines or providing medical air for hospitals, piping matters. This article will discuss piping type, installation best practices, and proper maintenance.

Compressed air is essential for many industrial applications. However, it is expensive to produce. The total cost of ownership should be a factor when considering a compressed air system. Here are eight ways to increase the efficiency of your compressed air system.

A detailed compressed air energy audit examines the function and energy performance of a compressed air system with data collection as a core feature. Energy audits with data logging are a proven and powerful tool to solve complex problems and save energy, with positive results directly affecting the bottom line.
