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.
