Integrated Air Solutions drives innovation through turnkey support of next-gen air compressors

INTEGRATED Air Solutions, a prominent name in advanced air compression technology, equipment and services, has reinforced its partnership with global compressor manufacturer, ABC Compressors, by facilitating the installation and commissioning of two next-generation direct drive ABC machines for a prominent plastic manufacturer in South Africa.

One of the first of their kind in Africa, the Horizon oil-free machines from ABC Compressors employ a direct drive system that replaces the traditional belt-driven mechanism. This cutting-edge direct-coupled motor design eliminates the need for regular belt adjustments, ensuring higher operational efficiency and significantly reduced energy losses, with notable energy savings of up to 15%.

In addition, the advanced Horizon oil-free technology is known for its robust, low-maintenance design and longer intervals between services that result in reduced maintenance and related costs.

“The arrival of ABC’s new direct drive compressors in South Africa sets new energy efficiency and reliability benchmarks for compressed air generation,” notes Wayne Jacobs, MD at Integrated Air Solutions.

“The added value of reduced maintenance requirements also drives up machine uptime and subsequently increased production levels.”

With capacities of up to 6,000 mÂł/h, these direct drive compressors feature an efficient, horizontally opposed cylinder structure that virtually eliminates vibration. Jacobs points out that this innovative design enhances the lifespan of key components and offers a highly efficient compressor solution tailored to high-performance demands.

Integrated Air Solutions is responsible for the installation and commissioning of ABC Compressor’s two Horizon oil-free machines at the plastic manufacturer’s facilities in Johannesburg and Cape Town. “We will also provide the necessary ongoing service and maintenance support for the customer at both plants to ensure enhanced performance and longevity of the compressors,” affirms Jacobs.
