The use of compressed air and vacuum almost covers all manufacturing industries,
and also involves in warehousing, medical, service, communications etc..Within such
an extensive usage, pipe system plays an important role as the medium carrier.
In recent years, we found more and more customers start to retrofit their compressed
air & vacuum pipe system, why this becomes more and more popular? We summarise
as the following reasons:
1. Too much pressure drop in pipeline, pressure at the air terminal is insufficient, which
can not meet the production demand.
2. The air quality in the pipeline is polluted, it contains water, oil, rusts, etc., and this
leads to a higher defective rate of final product.
3. Higher energy consumption, waste of spending of company resources.
As we look into these retrofitting projects, the original pipeline is mainly carbon steel pipe,
so what will be a good choice for pipe to retrofit?
---
Seamless steel pipe: this is the first & most choices when first installation is done, and mainly
because cheap price. But it will easily corrode with rust and pollute the compressed air, leads
to damages to downstream equipment and affect the quality of final product.
---
Stainless steel pipe: yes it's clean and will not easily rust, but price is not cheap, since it needs
welding same as carbon steel pipe, so it makes more time-consuming and laborious during installation.
---
Aluminum pipe: smooth inner surface, system clean and free of corrosion, quick and easy to
install, the overall cost islower than the stainless steel system.
So why AIRpipe is popular to these customers? Below are the main points:
AIRpipe specialized design of clamping connection, quick and easy to install, no shrinking on
inner diameter, leakage-free and superior longevity versus traditional pipe systems, all support
to reduce energy consumption and reach a lowest total cost of ownership.
AIRpipe complies to ISO8573-1, quality air guarantee and no risks on air pollution.
AIRpipe's professional design & installation team, always listen to customer's needs, make sure
a proper layout design and installation into a best energy efficiency;
The followings are a few on-site reference cases:
1. The feedback from a motorcycle manufacturer, “Air compressor energy consumption is reduced 20%,
no clogging happened at the end of the air terminals, and after-sales service is very good, the installing
staff is professional”.
2. The feedback from an electronics industry customer, “The original carbon steel pipe rusted, easy to
block the FRL, solenoid valve, after retrofitted into AIRpipe aluminum pipe system, there is no blocking
problem, product defective rate is also reduced”.
3. The feedback from an aerospace maintenance customer，“The air quality is high, the installation is
very conveneint, and shortened the hole period, save about 30% cost of labor.
