Process Air Blowers
When Twickenham Plating—a respected name in British metal finishing—faced a costly energy challenge, they turned to Airtec for a smarter solution.
Bespoke Air Blower System Installation
Back in 2014, their team needed to replace two ageing 55kW Hoffman blowers used in the post-plating drying process. After a detailed review, Airtec discovered the original blower setup wasn’t aligned with the actual application requirements.
A Smarter, More Efficient Approach
Airtec proposed a bold alternative: swap each 55kW unit for a compact 3.7kW side channel blower. A trial was conducted, and the results were striking. The smaller blower outperformed the legacy system by precisely matching air mass and pressure to the outlet surface area and required drying velocity.
"We will forever be indebted to Airtec for the cost savings they’ve delivered. They’re our first call for anything air-related—thank you!"
