Did you know? Reliability Tip Compressed Savings

A collection of leaks in your compressed air system amounting a 0.25in hole equivalent in a system pressurized to 100psi can cost more than $8,500 a year.

Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that the typical compressed air system loses 5%-20% of the compressed air. Another way of saying that is that 5%-20% of your compressor operating budget is wasted.
