Materials

Metal, glass and paper are just some of the materials of modern life. We help factories make these to machine-vision perfection and with minimal waste. The next time you get into a car or a bathtub, chances are our products were part of their production process too.

The modern world runs on a wide range of engineered materials and our solutions play an essential role in ensuring the quality of those materials. Here are a few examples:

 

Metal: Many processes in metal plants need a reliable supply of compressed air. Our compressors deliver Class 0 oil-free air, making sure that the product quality of valuable metals is not compromised during production. Clean exhaust and ventilation air also mean healthier work environments. Moreover, our energy-efficient options, such as the Optimizer 4.0 and the Variable Speed Drive, ensure that our products have a low total cost of ownership.

 

Glass: When compressed air is used in the making of glass bottles or jars, oil-free compressed air from a Class 0 certified compressor prevents contamination. Our reliable compressed air and nitrogen solutions help glass manufacturers make high-quality and safe glass products.

 

Pulp and paper: Our certified clean air guarantees high-quality paper and pulp end products. Options such as a variable speed drive and the monitoring system SMARTlink make our products the most energy-efficient on the market.

 

PET bottle blowing: The PET bottle blowing compressors that we manufacture are among the most energy-efficient on the market. They are also oil-free, which reduces the need to replace expensive air filters and ensures no energy loss due to pressure drops. 

On-site nitrogen generation helps Advance Engineering cut costs by eliminating the use of a bottled gas supply

The new unit now gives us a reliable independent source of high purity nitrogen at the lowest cost. We are in full control and have eliminated the need, costs and hassle of ordering, transportation and delivery of bottled gas to our site.
