Automotive Servicing Equipment - Car washing systems

Car washing systems prove effective as they help you clean your car the way you desire. Different types of systems are available as per your need, budget and interest. Car washing systems make the exteriors and interiors of your car dirt-free by cleaning them in and out with different kinds of equipments. Usual equipments include brushes, detergents, rags, sponges, towels etc. Using air blower or air compressor helps in removing dust, dirty water accumulated in the car system.


With the use of air compressor, you can clean different parts of your car. For instance, the dashboard of your car can be cleaned up with compressed air. Doors and windows of the car need special attention as they are frequently used. Window sills and blinds get extremely dirty if not cleaned up with customized equipments. A few sprays of compressed air will clean them up appropriately.


Monsoon is the season when your car requires cleaning on a regular basis. There are high chances of dirty water entering in your car systems and destroying the same. You need to take good care of your car when it is used during heavy downpour. Using an air blower or a can of compressed air will help you handle this task properly. An air compressor is the best product you can purchase to execute many household and outdoor activities effectively. Browse through different options before you make the final choice as these equipments are costly. Buying them online will save your time as you can compare and select items at your own convenience.

Industrial Air Compressor

Industries have always opted for better & fast machinery to eliminate energy wastage & minimize time consumption. Industrial Air Compressors have become a must tool for all industry & manufacturers. These industrial air compressors are used to power many types of tool to yield better & fast result.


Industrial air compressors models are different, more powerful & more expensive than the ones that are used in small jobs or at home. These types of machinery are designed to yield more power source particularly for an industrial use. Natural gas or electricity is used as a fuel for industrial air compressors. Though both these types of fuel are used to run the industrial air compressors, many businesses opt for using natural gas as a power source as it significantly help reduce their utility cost.


There are 3 types of Industrial air compressors, reciprocating, rotary & centrifugal. Industrial air compressor differs from other compressors for its size, power & life. Most industries use two-stage model of industrial air compressors as they offer high level of air compression & have ability to store unused air for future use.


These industrial air compressors are more energy efficient machinery because they are running on high level horsepower. This increased usage of horse power tends to make it a better working machine reducing its maintenance and possibility of beak down.


While purchasing a compressor, you should first decide the purpose for buying these machines. Its safety & quality standards should also be considered. All manufacturers are required to buy compressors & there parts by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) certified dealer or company.


For safety measure many manufacturers have installed a safety valve which allows the air to be released automatically thereby decreasing the pressure in-case there is a overloading of power.


Industrial air compressors are the King of compressor world. They have much power & can be used for array of tasks.


Werther provides detailed information about, portable & industrial air compressors.

Compressed Air Solution: Some General Information

Our nations industry have opted for using better & improved equipments to give better results & eliminate energy wastage.


Compressed Air Solution is there best choice for energy source. These energy sources are relatively easy to store, non-flammable & highly powerful. This energy can be used to produce high speed with air actuators or air tools & is enormously versatile in various ways it is used. Compressed air is used everywhere. As these compressed air are safe, it can be carried anywhere with an appropriate air tools.


Compressed Air can perform there work with high speed because when compressed the air gets transform from one energy to other form of energy. This energy is stored & used later. This compressed air is now in imbalanced state & is in high pressure inside compressor receivers.


As our environment has always kept our nature in balance, these imbalances are not accepted by her. So to balance the nature, the compressed air leaves the area with speed of sound, i.e. from an air tank to the required tool, & gets back to its normal atmospheric temperature.


By calculating this flow of air & directing it into air tools, work can be pull out from this compressed air energy as it decompresses back to atmospheric levels.


Compressed air solution can be used around application which involves manufacturing products which are flammable or explosive. Compressed air solutions are always performed by the persons with formal training.


If you are looking for a high force for your application, then the likely pick should be compressed air components as they are less expensive.


Less expensive & more energy is always why not?, for high scale operation.

Rotary Screw Compressor



One of the most commonly used compressors in industrial setting is Rotary Screw Compressor. These compressors are a type of gas compressor & are used to supply compressed air for general industrial applications.


The efficiency of this mechanism is reliant on close fitting clearances between the helical rotors and the chamber for sealing of the compression cavities. They are used in a varied range of application.


The main concern for these machines is during cold weather. Simple maintenance of these machines can solve many problems & failures during winter season. As these compressors have bypass valves in there oil cooling system, it helps to protect its part in cold weather.


We have come up with new range of compressors that makes minimal noise & satisfies the demands of industrial requirement. Ranging from Silver series, CRS series, Airblok, SD series to Direct drive series.


Technologically advanced Silver series use 5.5 to 15 HP that makes minimal noise.


CRS- CRS D Series is modular designed with wide choice of 77 different combination & includes compressors of 5.5 to 40 HP. It’s available in version of compressor, compressor + air tank, compressor + air dryer, compressor + air tank + air dryer.


Airblok range offers 10 to 60 HP belt driven rotary screw compressors.


Variable Speed offer SD Series of variable speed compressors from 10 to 270 HP produces exactly the volume of air that a production cycle needs.


Airblok DR series are direct drive rotary screw compressors from 75 to 270 HP & are today’s solution to ever-demanding requirement.


Manufacturing experience have produced the most reliable, energy efficient, quiet running rotary screw compressors available today, with a customer friendly design that is easy to maintain and service.
