A Part of the Team: Why Masteroast Keep Coming Back to Anglian Compressors, a Branch of Atlas Copco — Even When Their Needs Change

Masteroast have been working with Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, for over two decades — a partnership that has grown alongside their expanding business.

Throughout their relationship, Masteroast have come to trust Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, to always provide the best possible advice.

During a recent period of growth, Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, recommended new, energy-efficient equipment that helped minimise costs.

Overview

Masteroast is an independently owned coffee roasting and packaging facility, offering both their own-brand and white-label freshly roasted coffee.

When their business expanded dramatically — moving to new premises and increasing production volumes — they saw how Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, effortlessly scaled their support while maintaining the same personal touch.

More recently, Masteroast began nitrogen-flushing, a process that injects nitrogen into packaging to help keep it fresh. But as they continued to grow, they returned to Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, for support in meeting their increasing nitrogen needs.

Rather than taking the easy approach of installing an additional generator, Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, recommended a new intelligent generator. By sensing the level of demand, it minimises waste, producing 50% more nitrogen using just 25% more air, helping Masteroast to keep costs low.

Responsive systems

Although nitrogen is generated from the air, there is still an energy cost, a responsive system helps keep energy use and costs as low as possible.

The Anglian approach

Since the day it was founded, Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, has always made the customer its top priority.

  • Whether it’s a complete installation, a servicing plan, or just a spare part, our customers know they can trust Anglian Compressors, a branch of Atlas Copco, to have their best interests at heart.
  • With Masteroast, we have been proud to work alongside them as they grow, helping them get the most from their compressed air, and offering recommendations that meet their needs, not ours.

Nitrogen is a common feature in the food industry.

  • As well as flushing packaging, nitrogen is often used in preparation.
    Nitrogen needs to be very pure. Contaminants, even simple water vapour, can spoil food and encourage bacteria.
  • On-site nitrogen generation is significantly cheaper than deliveries, typically around half the cost, but intelligent use is key to maximising those savings.

Our recommendations are always designed around a customer.

  • Using an intelligent nitrogen generator means that exactly the right volume of gas, at exactly the right purity, is produced. This helps to minimise the energy costs of production, as well as reducing ongoing costs by extending the lifespan of filters and membranes, and even the compressor itself.
