Solving the Moisture Levels in Your Compressed Air

When we talk about moisture being in our compressed air… we become mortified, right? The compressed air system can become damaged from corrosion, rust, and scale build-up. Negatively affecting the products and processes that require dry air.

Can Compressors Make Snow?

Winter sports are very popular here in Michigan and in other states that receive snowfall. The only thing about snowfall is that there never seems to be enough! At least here in Michigan, it can be tough to rely on just the snowfall to meet the minimum requirements for the resort to be open. Resort owners had to get creative and think outside the natural realm. This is where air compressors have come into play. Air compressors can create artificial snow, thankfully allowing ski resorts to be open and allowing our winter hobbies to continue no matter the weather.

Carbon Dioxide vs Nitrogen in the Food and Beverage Industry

Our atmosphere is made up of 78% Nitrogen. Nitrogen is not only used throughout the food and beverage industry, but surprisingly it is a huge part of it. Starbucks uses nitrogen to infuse cold brew coffee for a creamier smoother taste and feel. The fruit and vegetable industry uses nitrogen as well by storing it in non-oxidizing coolers to keep the fruit from perishing faster. Making your own nitrogen is efficient and sustainable. It reduces CO2 use and consumption by 70% when nitrogen is used as a replacement specifically in breweries, switching out all taps for nitrogen use. In high-traffic companies, for instance, Breweries. Healthier environments bring in happier and healthier customers.

Only certain systems can make this process happen, oil free compressors, nitrogen generators and blowers play critical roles in this.
