Leak prevention in compressed air

Rust proof energy efficient Airpipe compressed air distribution system plugs leakages, saves money.

Compressed air is a precious commodity, and unknown to users, there is a leakage in some degree or other in most compressed air systems in a given workplace (estimates suggest up to 30%), which amounts to thousands of rupees per annum.

It is against this background that Instamod Airpipe Pvt Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of Eco Pipe Ltd Company, a leader in the compressed air distribution market, comes into the picture. Introduced after several years of research, Airpipe has realised the immense scope for improvement in compressed air distribution systems. A few of the most effective benefits for users are recounted in the next few paragraphs.

Corrosion proof aluminium alloy piping

The pipe material has been engineered so as to counter the common problem of corrosion, which results in scaling and porosity resulting in pressure drop and leakages. As per the latest data from a prominent external agency, a leakage from a hole of a size of 800 microns represents a loss of Rs 80,000 annually.

Minimal pressure drop by the virtue of long lasting internal smooth surface of the pipe resulting in laminar flow as compared to the turbulent flow of the mild steel pipe material results in huge energy savings. British Compressed Air Society – the only UK Trade Association representing manufacturers, distributors and users of compressors, vacuum pumps, pneumatic tools and allied products – confirms that for every 1 bar of pressure drop the compressor represents a 7% increase in compressor energy cost.

Zero Leakage

The “Airpipe” pipe and fittings system ensures that there are no leakages from the piping and the components and comes with a 10 years zero leak guarantee. Plus there are many more benefits such as: no water retention in the system, ability to take out drop line even when the system is charged, scientifically designed fittings, which ensure full flow and minimum pressure loss at drop points, in-built sturdiness and flexibility in the system to ensure any future expansions plus many more.

“We have a vast array of fittings available to suit the requirements of most users, within the specified period of time. This range of fittings is manufactured using the best quality of aluminium in compliance with established industrial quality standards,” says Santosh Kumar, Managing Director, Instamod Airpipe Pvt Ltd. It would also be worth mentioning here that with aluminium piping one can earn carbon credits from leading institutes since it is green building concept. “We have in all more than 10000 installations world over. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure facility is equipped with the latest machines and technology required for the efficient manufacturing of a vast array of products, which are checked by an experienced team of auditors to ensure flawless quality,” Kumar adds.

Instamod Air Pipe Pvt Ltd specialises in air pipe work systems for new projects, for renovation, extension or modification of existing systems for industries in textile, electronics, food, automobiles and chemicals segments. The company has successfully won over 1000 users at home and abroad. AIRpipe products are upgraded and improved at regular intervals to meet customers’ needs. The company, with 10-year guarantee and quality assurance, provides excellent services.
