Haighs Bakery upgrades compressed air system

05-Dec-2011

Compressed air is used to power the wrapping machines at Haighs Bakery in Leeds. As production has increased in recent years, new demands have been placed on the compressed air system.

The bakery's director, Adam Haigh, was aware that the existing compressed air system was no longer able to meet these new demands and invited Boge Compressors to assess it. The company recommended replacing the ageing compressor with a Boge C 7 LDR.

In the C LDR a CL series screw compressor and a refrigerant dryer are mounted on a horizontal compressed air receiver, which only needs a minimum footprint and has low sound pressure values.

Boge says the CL series is engineered to generate high free air deliveries in continuous operation. The integration of all essential components in the compact Boge air-end module virtually eliminates external pipe-work, thereby reducing internal flow losses for an efficient and dependable compressor station solution.

Haigh said: "A real selling point for us was the option to rent the equipment. Boge maintains it the compressor just produces the air that we need.

"The compressor is on 24 hours and it is computer controlled so that if there was a fault (not that we have had one) it would switch itself off, we would see a fault number and then Boge would send out an engineer to repair it."
