Compressed Air Best Practices-August 2008

| 08/08 Focus Industry COMPRESSED AIR AUDITS | MCINTIRE IS MOVING FORWARD Please describe the new non-cycling refrigerated air dryer. The new Shop™ Series non-cyling refrigerated air dryers have been very successful for us. They have a rugged and robust design allowing for very high compressed air inlet temperatures to 176 °F (80 °C). The model sizes range from 40 to 325 scfm. The units offer a dew point range between 35 °F and 41 °F. The refrigeration system uses R-407c refrigerant and a hot-gas bypass valve for evaporator temperature control. These dryers use larger stainless steel plate and frame design heat exchangers. All units are designed to ensure low pressure-drops across the system. All models are rated for a 4 psi or lower pressure-drop. How does your “Next-Day” delivery program work? Operations at McIntire has made a commitment to inventory which is a big plus for us and for our customers. The majority of our orders ship the next day. We are shipping 10 to 1,200 scfm air dryers next-day most of the time. This is for both our cycling and non-cycling refrigerated air dryers. This helps us serve customers who need a dryer right now due to a breakdown or a late purchasing decision! It is always very satisfying when we can save the day with a fast delivery. We had a customer last week call for a 750 scfm non-cycling refrigerated dryer which he said the factory had to have next-day because their unit had failed. We shipped it as promised and the customer was so relieved/ happy that they ordered a second 750 scfm dryer as a back-up! Some distributors carry large inventories of smaller-size dryers that they ship on a continual basis to their customers. We are also able to ship large quantities of smaller units next-day. This allows the stocking distributors to increase their inventory turns and reduce the cash they have tied up. The other day we shipped next-day 14 smaller-size refrigerated dryers to a stocking distributor. We also include our high inlet-temperature dryers in the program. We are shipping next-day out of our 53,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Bristol, Connecticut. We have stocking locations in Florida, California, Texas and western Michigan. These remote locations keep a next-day inventory for models up to 500 scfm. The new Shop™ Series non-cycling refrigerated air dryers in production Thank you McIntire for your insights.
