Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - (Page 31) Compressed Air Industry AUTOMOTIVE TRANSIT | 10/08 | we have so many veteran employees with decades of expertise. Devair, Inc. was formed in 1998 as a stand-alone business and we are the two majority shareholders. Our main focus is on building rugged, reliable, heavy-duty air compressors. Our heavy-duty industrial (HDI Series) pressure lubricated air compressor has been our flagship product line for many years. Devair’s tradition is imbedded in using durable materials for the pumps (like best quality American-made grey iron) and precision-machined components produced by our veteran workforce. Our culture is all about supplying reliable, heavy-duty, high-quality products to our customers. What are the benefits of buying a piston air compressor? We supply both rotary screw and piston compressor technologies so we are in the position of showing a customer his options. Each factory/shop is unique and there is no standard answer to this question. Piston compressors are still a far better choice for some end users. The cost of maintenance, of a high-quality piston compressor, is only 25% of the cost of maintaining a rotary screw air compressor. Devair piston compressors run at a very slow speed of only 590 rpm — so there is very little wear on the lubricant and the machines run very cool. There is no oilseparator filter element to change and pistons use standard mineral oil as a lubricant — which costs much less than the synthetic oils that rotary screw compressors use. Most important is that customers remember to consider only heavy-duty, high-quality piston air compressors. There are many piston compressor designs out there that are not designed for industrial use. These designs have very short life cycles and produce low air volume. Know What You’re Buying. For 50 years we have highlighted the premium performance of our products. Now that performance has been verified by an independent third party. Through participation in the Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI) Performance Verification Program, the performance of our dryers has been validated by an independent third party against CAGI data sheets. When making your dryer decision, insist upon a dryer with performance that has been independently validated. Our dryers are shipped with the CAGI label – good reason to choose ZEKS over the competition. To see what you are buying, refer to our CAGI Data Sheets at www.zeks.com.
