Industrial Air Compressor Services & AMC
Sales, AMC, energy audit, leak survey, retrofit and 24/7 breakdown service. Authorized Kirloskar Pneumatic dealer for the ARiA screw compressor range, plus multi-brand service for Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, ELGi, Chicago Pneumatic. Compressed air typically eats 10-30% of factory power bill - we help cut that.
Compressor down on a production line? Call first, we'll route a service van the same day for AMC clients.

I'm Here Because...
Pick the closest scenario and jump straight to what answers it.
Compressor down, production halted
Air pressure dropping, line tools idle. You need diagnosis + fix + a possible rental in 24-48 hrs.
→ Emergency Response & RentalPower bill spike traced to compressor
Same production, more electricity. You suspect leaks, oversized compressor or wrong pressure setpoint.
→ Free Energy / Leak AuditNew plant / line, need fresh system
Greenfield setup. You need CFM sizing, brand recommendation, piping design and commissioning.
→ New System DesignRecip is loud and inefficient - move to screw?
Old reciprocating compressor at duty cycle > 60%. Energy savings, noise reduction and continuous duty needed.
→ Recip → Screw Retrofit ROIAMC vendor unreliable, want to switch
Outgoing vendor skips visits, inflates spares, hides energy issues. You want a transparent AMC scope.
→ AMC Plans & ScopeShort project, need rental
Construction, plant shutdown, breakdown bridge. You want CFM-rated rental delivered to site.
→ Rental OptionsFree Compressed Air Audit (Where Your Money Is Leaking)
In typical Indian factories, compressed air costs ~7-10× more than the raw electricity input by the time it reaches the tool - and 20-40% of generated air is wasted to leaks. We audit, quantify and prioritise the fix list.
Log compressor amperage and pressure for 7-14 days. Map full-load / no-load / unload hours. Identify cyclic vs. continuous demand. Typical finding: oversized compressor running idle 30-50% of the shift.
Walk the plant with an ultrasonic leak detector. Tag every fitting, hose, drain trap, FRL, manifold and tool. We typically find 35-90 leaks in a mid-size factory representing ₹50 K-3 L of annual electricity waste.
Measure pressure at compressor outlet, dryer, receiver, mid-pipe, tool inlet. If your tool needs 6 bar and you are generating 8 bar to compensate, each extra 1 bar costs 7% more energy.
Verify dryer dew point, oil carry-over, particulate. Wet or oily air destroys solenoid valves, cylinders and pneumatic tools - replacements are a hidden compressor cost.
Compare installed kW vs. actual demand profile. If demand is ≤ 60% of installed, switching to a VSD (Variable Speed Drive) screw saves 15-30% of energy.
Quick wins (leak fixes, pressure reduction) with payback < 3 months. Mid-term (dryer / piping upgrades). Long-term (VSD compressor / heat recovery) with ROI math.
New Air System Design & Commissioning
Greenfield or major expansion. We size compressor + dryer + receiver + piping + drains as one system, not five separate decisions.
| Design Step | What We Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. CFM Calculation | Sum tool CFM × duty cycle × simultaneity + 20-30% growth margin. | Most factories over-size by 40-60% (wasted CAPEX and energy). |
| 2. Pressure Selection | Identify tool that needs highest pressure; size system to that + 0.5-1 bar margin. | Every extra 1 bar = ~7% extra energy cost forever. |
| 3. Compressor Type | Recip for < 25 HP intermittent, screw for continuous duty / > 25 HP, oil-free for pharma / food / electronics. | Wrong type = wear, energy or air quality penalty. |
| 4. Drying & Filtration | Refrigerated dryer (+3°C PDP) for most factories; desiccant (-40°C PDP) for sensitive instruments. Pre + post filtration as needed. | Wet / dirty air destroys downstream equipment. |
| 5. Receiver Tank Sizing | Typical: 8-10 L per CFM for screw; 12-15 L per CFM for recip. Auto-drain trap on tank. | Undersized = motor short-cycles, oversized = wasted space. |
| 6. Pipe Network | Header pipe sized for ≤ 0.3 bar drop end-to-end; loop layout where possible; sloped 1:100 for drainage; condensate traps at low points. | Pipe under-sizing is the silent killer of compressed air efficiency. |
| 7. Heat Recovery (optional) | Up to 90% of compressor input energy can be recovered as hot water / hot air for boiler feed, washroom or process heating. | Often the highest ROI add-on on screw > 30 kW. |
Compressor Type Selection (Quick Reference)
For deeper brand bands and pricing matrix see the products page. This is a fast service-side view.
| Type | Capacity | Best Used For | Avoid If... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reciprocating (Recip) | 5-100 HP | Workshops, garages, intermittent use < 60% duty cycle, high-pressure (> 10 bar) niche use | Continuous duty > 60% (energy + noise + heat penalty) |
| Rotary Screw (Fixed Speed) | 15-500+ HP | Continuous-duty factories with steady demand profile | Highly variable demand (run hours wasted unloaded) |
| Rotary Screw (VSD / Variable Speed) | 15-500+ HP | Variable demand profile, multi-shift factories - typical 15-30% energy savings vs. fixed-speed | Genuinely steady 24×7 demand (fixed-speed is cheaper CAPEX) |
| Oil-Free Screw / Scroll | 5-200+ HP | Pharma, food, beverage, electronics, paint - anywhere oil contamination disqualifies you | General factory air (higher CAPEX, not needed) |
| Centrifugal | 200+ HP | Very large continuous demand (cement plants, refineries, large pharma campuses) | Highly variable demand (turn-down limited) |
Reciprocating → Screw Retrofit Decision
Old recips at > 60% duty cycle quietly cost more than the screw replacement. Quick rule-of-thumb for indicative payback.
| Recip Capacity | Duty Cycle Today | Annual kWh Saved by Screw VSD (est.) | Annual ₹ Saved @ ₹8/kWh | Indicative Payback* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15-25 HP recip | 60-80% | 8,000-15,000 kWh | ₹65 K-1.2 L | 3-5 years |
| 25-40 HP recip | 60-80% | 15,000-25,000 kWh | ₹1.2-2 L | 2.5-4 years |
| 40-75 HP recip | 60-90% | 25,000-50,000 kWh | ₹2-4 L | 2-3 years |
| 75-150 HP recip | 70-95% | 50,000-90,000 kWh | ₹4-7 L | 1.5-2.5 years |
*Payback is indicative for first-cut budgeting only. Actual depends on demand profile, current vs. target pressure, ambient temp, leak rate, electricity tariff and chosen brand. We run the proper calculation with your 7-day demand log during the free audit.
