Understanding Boosters
Boosters like the LB10-40 increase already compressed air or gas to higher pressures of up to 1000 bar, making them perfect for a range of specialised applications in diverse industrial settings. By amplifying the pressure produced by standard air compressors, boosters play a vital role in meeting the demands of high-pressure industrial operations.
When it comes down to it, the LB10-40 Air & Nitrogen Booster is more than just a handy item of equipment; it empowers you to maximise efficiency, reliability, and performance in your workplace. Whether it is industrial cleaning, laser cutting, or PET moulding, the LB10-40 will ensure that your compressed air system can carry out its tasks efficiently and reliably.
Factors to Consider When Browsing Boosters
If you are new to the world of compressed air, narrowing down your options from the vast number of boosters available can be daunting. Here are five factors you should keep in mind when searching for the most suitable nitrogen and air booster for your high-pressure application:
- Cost: While the initial investment is an important consideration, you need to consider long-term energy consumption to calculate your ongoing running costs and potential savings. (lifetime running costs)
- Efficiency: Look for boosters with energy-saving features such as an advanced IE3 motor and a single-stage design to keep your operating costs to a minimum.
- Continuous Duty: You might want to choose a booster for your compressor that can run 100% of the time without requiring frequent cool-down periods. That way, you can look forward to uninterrupted productivity.
- Reliability: Choosing a solution with quality components and a robust design can help ensure minimal downtime. With the LB10-40 Air & Nitrogen Booster, you can rest assured that downtime will rarely – if ever – be an issue.
- Noise Levels: Low noise emissions enable flexible installation options and cost savings on high-pressure piping.
So, now you know what to look for when searching for an air and nitrogen booster, let us explore why and how the LB10-40 ticks all the boxes in most industrial settings.
