Compressed Air Applications In Industry
Wittig design and manufacture industrial air compressors for a diverse range of industries.
Our rotary vane technology delivers energy efficient and cost-effective solutions.Â
Compressed air is relied on by many professionals working across a diverse range of industries. In fact, compressed air actually accounts for over 10% of industrial costs for many businesses. For this reason, compressor technology must be as efficient and cost-effective as possible.Â
Compressed air is used for two reasons - as energy air and as active air. Energy air is used to provide power and active air is used as part of a process. Both uses of compressed air are crucial to many applications and play a large part in keeping many industries running.Â
Rotary vane compressors are one of the most widely trusted compressor technologies in use today. They serve a wide range of industries and are relied on for providing superior energy savings and great efficiency, at lower operating costs! For varying levels of air demand, rotary vane compressors are robust, reliable and enduring.Â
Wittig design, manufacture and supply dry running and oil lubricated air and gas compressors.
Read more below about how Wittig’s unique design features and engineering refinement delivers real advantages for specific industries:
Industry Applications
Glass Industry
The glass industry requires large amounts of compressed air to
manufacture hollow glass. Above all, the machines and components used
to do this must be reliable and of high quality. In round-the-clock
operation, rotary vane compressors offer the optimal solution for this
industry.
Cement Industry / Conveying / Handling
Materials handling and conveying are key concerns in the cement industry.
Here it is the compressor's job to produce compressed air for conveying
bulk material (cement) from one location to another, for example from an
incoming truck or rail car to some other container (such as a silo).
The key features that our customers look for are short start-up times, high
operating reliability, constant minimum reserve oil levels and top energy
efficiency.
Mining
To ensure that the operation of roadheaders in underground coal mining
does not need to be interrupted repeatedly so that compressed air lines
can be extended as necessary, Wittig developed a compressor that is
specifically approved for underground mining work. The compressor is
installed directly behind the roadheader in the power train.
The design complies with ATEX zone M2.
