Oil-free air compressors and smart management system (CMS)
When Safran Aero Boosters in Herstal, Belgium, faced a specific air requirement, they needed more than just a standard solution - they needed a solution tailored to their needs. In aerospace engineering, clean air free from contamination is non-negotiable for keeping production running smoothly and meeting top-quality standards.
To meet this challenge, Atlas Copco Rental stepped in with a tailored approach. We provided two PTE 900 oil-free electric compressors, seamlessly paired with a smart CMS system. The result? Reliable operations, peace of mind, and a production line running at peak performance.
Why clean, dry air is crucial
In aerospace production, clean, dry air is a must. For Safran Aero Boosters, compressed air plays a vital role in processes like CNC machining, sandblasting, and painting parts. Even the smallest bit of contamination or moisture in the air can damage tools, clog nozzles, and affect the quality of the final product.
To eliminate those risks, Atlas Copco Rental stepped in with a tailored solution including our oil-free air compressors, delivering the purest air possible. From setup to 24/7 support, we handled it all. We ensured smooth operations, allowing Safran Aero Boosters to focus on what they do best.
A smarter way to manage air supply
We installed our CMS system alongside the two PTE 900 air compressors, allowing it to automatically adjust the compressor’s output based on air demand. When demand dropped, the CMS reduced output or even shut down one compressor to save energy. As demand increased, it powered up the second compressor, ensuring a steady, efficient air supply without wasting energy. The CMS also actively monitors the system, preventing breakdowns by detecting potential issues early and addressing them before they escalate.
More than just a quick fix
Our solution was more than just a temporary fix - it was a tailored approach to meet Safran Aero Boosters' specific requirements. Our system remained in place, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations. At Atlas Copco Specialty Rental, we’re proud to offer flexible and effective solutions, and the great collaboration with Safran Aero Boosters made all the difference. Thanks to the combination of our oil-free compressors and smart CMS, Safran was able to meet their unique air needs seamlessly, maintaining a steady and reliable production.
