Example: cover during a planned shutdown
For a maintenance shutdown, separate the time available to connect temporary air from the production restart deadline. Identify the loads that need cover during the changeover and whether an existing air source will still be connected. Give the person coordinating the work enough detail to discuss the handover.
- When can temporary equipment be connected and checked?
- Which loads must remain supplied during the shutdown?
- What pressure and air treatment are specified for those loads?
Choosing equipment for the job
For a sustained process requirement, a screw compressor enquiry should include the shift pattern and changes in demand. Confirm the duty required for the proposed equipment rather than assuming every machine suits continuous work.
If an electrical connection is intended, include its location and the site contact who can confirm capacity. Ask for the proposed machine’s connection requirements before planning installation.
If the specification is still unclear, use the Air compressor sizing guide or describe the tools in the enquiry below.
Delivery planning for Birmingham
Include the delivery gate and access window as well as the shutdown times; they may be different.
