Compressed Air Best Practices - November 2008 - (Page 33) Compressed Air Industry STEEL & METALS | 11–12/08 | The 2008 North American Association of Compressor Distributors (NAACD) Conference and Exhibition was held October 18th in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. A strong turnout of air compressor distributors and exhibitors enjoyed the incredible mountain-lake scenery and exchanged “selling techniques” according to the theme of the event. This Conference always distinguishes itself in how well everyone seems to get along and enjoy the company present. The President of the NAACD, Mr. Sid Van der Meer, commented, “Industry still seems strong and the distributors are very upbeat.” CompAir Compressors The anchor exhibitor and partner with the NAACD is CompAir Compressors. The one thing in common that all NAACD members have is that they all represent CompAir products and services. CompAir sent a strong representation to the show including CompAir USA President Gavin Monn and Vice President of Sales Bill Steele. CompAir displayed some new technologies for their customers to take a look at. Engineers from CompAir Germany and the U.K. were also on hand to discuss the development of these new air compressors first-hand with distributors. Many distributors I spoke to were particularly excited about the new 30-horsepower (hp) LSR Series air compressor, which incorporates a variable speed switch reluctance drive. The product is also extremely compact in size and can incorporate an integrated air dryer. Compair’s new 30-hp variable speed reluctance drive air compressor.
