1. Air Dryers: Ensuring Moisture-Free Compressed Air
Air dryers play a crucial role in maintaining compressed air quality by removing moisture. Excessive moisture in compressed air can lead to corrosion, damage to equipment, and compromised product quality. We provide advanced air dryers that eliminate moisture, ensuring a reliable and dry air supply. Our heatless regenerative air dryers, like the Z-Series Vacuum Purge Heatless Regenerative Air Dryer, are designed to efficiently remove moisture from compressed air, preventing operational issues and reducing maintenance costs.
2. Air Filtration: Purifying Compressed Air
Clean and contaminant-free compressed air is needed for many applications, including pneumatic tools, sensitive instrumentation, and cleanroom environments. Brabazon offers robust air filtration solutions that remove impurities, such as oil, dust, and particulates, ensuring a pure compressed air supply. Our high-quality filters, such as coalescing and particulate filters, effectively capture and separate contaminants. This protects consumers as well, safeguarding your equipment and processes from damage and maintaining optimal performance.
3. Condensate Solutions: Proper Management of Condensate
Condensate, the byproduct of compressed air, contains oil, water, and other contaminants that must be managed appropriately. We offer efficient condensate solutions that separate and dispose of condensate in an environmentally friendly manner. Our condensate management systems, like oil-water separators and automatic drain valves, ensure compliance with regulations while minimizing environmental impact. Utilizing our condensate solutions allows you to maintain a sustainable operation while adhering to industry standards.
4. Mist Eliminator: Eliminating Harmful Oil Mist
The presence of oil mist in compressed air can be a concern in applications where oil-lubricated compressors are used. Brabazon carries mist eliminators that efficiently capture and remove oil mist, ensuring clean and oil-free compressed air. Our mist eliminators, such as coalescing filters and demisters, effectively trap oil particles, preventing their entry into downstream equipment and minimizing the risk of contamination. By incorporating our mist eliminators, you can maintain the purity of your compressed air and protect your critical processes.
How Airtility Compares to Owning Your Own Air Compressor
Brabazon's Airtility program redefines how Midwest manufacturers and industrial facilities access compressed air. Instead of purchasing, installing, and maintaining your own equipment, Airtility delivers compressed air as a utility service — much like how you buy electricity or gas. Here's how it stacks up against traditional ownership:
Capital Cost: Owning requires significant upfront investment — a new Sullair rotary screw compressor system with dryers, filtration, and installation can range from $30,000 to over $200,000 depending on size. Airtility eliminates the capital outlay entirely, with a predictable monthly operating fee covering all equipment, installation, maintenance, and service.
Maintenance Responsibility: When you own the equipment, maintenance is your responsibility. Parts, labor, and unplanned repairs come out of your maintenance budget. With Airtility, Brabazon handles all of it — you simply use the air and pay the monthly fee.
Technology Currency: Equipment owned outright can quickly become outdated as efficiency standards improve. Airtility ensures you always operate current-generation equipment, as Brabazon manages the replacement cycle.
Risk Transfer: Equipment failure risk stays with Brabazon under Airtility. A compressor failure doesn't mean emergency capital expenditure — it means a Brabazon technician responds, and your operation keeps moving.
Which Facilities Benefit Most from Airtility?
Airtility is particularly well-suited for facilities that prefer operating expense over capital expense, companies with limited in-house maintenance capability, operations that are growing or scaling and want flexibility, and businesses that have experienced unexpected compressor failures that disrupted production. Brabazon serves Airtility customers across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Missouri. Contact us to find out if Airtility makes sense for your operation.
