Where to install a compressor and associated infrastructure

01 April, 2020

Historically, air compressors were housed well away from the production area due to their noise. Modern compressors are much quieter and can be located much closer to or even on the factory floor. Nevertheless, businesses should bear in mind how and where compressors are installed on their premises. Martin Chitty, business development manager at Mattei UK, outlines what the considerations are and how they can optimise compressor performance, maximise the return on investment and ensure compliance with environmental controls.

Pushing the boundaries of compressor efficiency

16 October, 2019

Intercooling is a common practice in compressor technology for reducing the power required for operation. However, the latest research by Mattei, in conjunction with the Polytechnic University of Milan, shows that the similar concept of ‘intracooling’ achieves even better results in two-stage compressors. Andy Jones, managing director at Mattei, explains how it works, improves energy efficiency, and what’s in store for further development.
