Rogers Machinery Articles & Case Studies

Compressors are separated into two major groups, positive displacement and dynamic. Positive displacement compressors bring in air, trap it, and then reduce its volume mechanically.

Compressed air is used in processes throughout the food & beverage industry. From operating cutting machines in food manufacturing to capping bottles in breweries, compressed air keeps these operations running at peak efficiency.

Woodcraft Industries in Molalla, Oregon was able to save over $5,300 annually by implementing a new KRVP Series rotary screw vacuum pump with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

Compressed air users are becoming increasingly intolerant of contamination in their systems, whether it's in a patient’s lungs, food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, or semiconductors, eliminating the risk of contaminated end product, and saving money in energy use and maintenance, are only a few of the benefits.

International Wire was able to get energy savings of over 400,000 kWh annually by working with Rogers to implement an oil-free compressed air system that included Kobelco KNW Series air compressors with a heat recovery system! 

When choosing an air compressor, the first questions to ask are, “What are you planning on doing? Are you setting up a bead-blast cabinet? How often are you going to use it?”

Nestlé’s Ice Cream factory in Tulare, California was able to get a payback period of just over three years on an oil-free air compressor with a heat recovery system.
