Integrated Air Solutions to showcase compressed air solutions at EMA

less industries that depend on reliable supply and consistent high gas purity,” he continues. “Bulky nitrogen containers must be trans ported, handled and stored and administered, with costs linked to each logistical stage. By installing a nitrogen generator on site, users can eliminate all these headaches, hazards and costs and simply reap the benefits of having a constant and seamless supply of nitrogen, at guaranteed high purity levels, that will never run out,” affirms Adriaanse. The NGPs 2-9 PSA range has been de signed for continuous duty and uninterrupted operation, empowering users to control their nitrogen supply with confidence, Adriaanse points out, adding that the unit cost of nitro gen gas is significantly lower than gas cylin ders and there is no wasted gas, thus adding even more to the bottom line. “Coupled with best-in-class air/energy consumption and high air purity levels, these generators deliver uncompromising efficiency.” Featuring a small environmental footprint and quiet operation, the compact new machine can operate on the production floor. An advanced controller with Integrated Air Solutions forges long term customer partnerships and machine supply marks only the first step in the compressed air journey. “We dial into our customers’ specific needs, offering an after market service that mirrors the superior quality of our products,” asserts Wayne Jacobs. “Aligning with this strategy, we provide The ABC Series Oil Free Rotary Screw Air Compressor, complete with integrated VSD for optimised energy consumption, will be on display adjacent to high pressure portable units. With flow rates of up to 1500 CFM and a maximum discharge pres sure of 28 bar, these mobile machines cater mainly to the water well drilling market. “Medium pressure trolley-mounted por table compressors for flow rates between 185 and 850 CFM, for applications including sandblasting, shot-creting, construction and demolition tasks, round off our quality air solutions exhibit,” he says. While cutting-edge designs that promote rugged reliability and easy maintenance form the DNA of Integrated Air Solution’s complete compressed air portfolio, the major ongoing focus is on scaling up en ergy/fuel efficiency. “Our compressed air solutions add true value for customers in terms of lowest total cost of operation and ownership,” states Jacobs.

remote monitoring capabilities streamlines operation. The NGPs 2-9 PSA range caters to a wide selection of applications, including microbreweries, 3D printing, laboratories, Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP) for food, chemical blanketing, heat treatment, laser cutting, electronics recycling, battery production/recycling, soldering, as well as wire/cable production. www.atlascopco.com/en-za “We look forward to welcoming Electra Mining Africa visitors to our stand and to showcase our full basket of superior quality air solutions that position us as a single-source, end-to-end compressed air solutions provider,” Jacobs concludes. www.air-solutions.co.za industry-leading warranty cover on our ELGi air compressors.” He explains that while standard warranty conditions apply – such as adherence to service intervals, using only genuine parts and qualified technicians as stipulated by the OEM – customers are not expected to sign Service Level Agreements to be able to claim on warranties. “This flags our con fidence in the performance and reliability of our machines. Our aftermarket team will be on hand during the exhibition to advise customers on spare parts, services, overhauls and our tailor-made Service Level Agreements.” Integrated Air Solutions’ knowledgeable team of specialists will also be on standby during the exhibition, ready to share with customers the benefits of installing inline air treatment equipment, such as dryers and filters, on their processes. “Customers who are not ready or who do not wish to make a capital investment, can discuss their short-, medium- or long-term air requirements with our Rental team.”

Atlas Copco Compressor Technique is ex tending its existing and proven NGP nitrogen generator range with the introduction of the NGP’s 2-9 PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) range of generators, designed and engineered to meet diverse nitrogen applications across a wide spectrum of industries. “Our next-generation nitrogen generator delivers superior air purities of between 95 and 99.999%, filling the gap below our existing offering. We are now able to offer nitrogen flows of between 2-9 Nm³/hour, which was not previously covered by the NGP8-130+ range. This expansion ensures that we con tinue to meet the transformatory needs of our customers while upholding our commitment to excellence,” says Dean Adriaanse of Atlas Copco Compressor Technique. With a strong focus on air purity, perfor mance, versatility, reliability and cost-efficien cy, Atlas Copco’s new NGPs 2-9 PSA range is packed with advanced features that deliver value adding benefits for users. “Rated fourth after gas, electricity and water, nitrogen is an integral part of production processes in count “Hosted from 2 to 6 September, the bien nial mining exhibition presents us with the perfect platform to introduce the new ELGi EQ compressor range to the local market,” says Wayne Jacobs, managing director of Integrated Air Solutions. “We are extremely excited about the newly released EQ Rotary Air Screw compressor range, which slots in seamlessly between ELGi’s belt driven EN units and the more efficient direct-drive EG machines, essentially enabling us to meet the full spectrum of industrial air demands. The EQ sells at the price point of some belt driven units, while offering the effi ciency improvement of a direct drive con figuration, coupled with the possibility of an integrated Variable Speed Drive (VSD).” Integrated Air Solutions, exclusive re gional sales and service partner for top tier compressed air equipment from key manufacturers such as ELGI, FS-Elliott and ABC Compressors, will debut a new cost effective, economy range of air compressors alongside its acclaimed premium brand machines at this year’s Electra Mining Africa in September. Integrated Air Solutions will again be located at NASREC’s outside water complex (Stand P15), sharing 250 m2 with sister companies, Integrated Fire Technology and Integrated Pump Technology, which also fall under the GIGI Group umbrella.
