Compressed Air Piping Installations
Expert installation of compressed air piping
At Air Technologies®, we understand that your compressed air and inert gas delivery systems play a vital role in your production processes. Delivering air and inert gas in the most efficient and cost-effective way can make a drastic difference in your productivity and ultimately your bottom line.
This is why Air Technologies® offers an aluminum solution to help you mitigate the issues created by traditional piping products. The aluminum piping system is made from high quality, durable components that:
- Save installation time with patented “quick connection” fittings on projects up to 6” in diameter
- Lower energy costs by reducing system pressure drop and eliminating leakage
- Do not corrode or add contaminates to the system
- Can be assembled and disassembled for easy modification of the system layout
- Are extremely lightweight for minimal impact on roof load
- Include a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty*
- Provide a cost-effective, energy efficient solution for “green” initiatives and rebates
- Can add dollars to your bottom line
Since 1963, we have made it our mission to become a leading resource in compressed air and inert gas system design. Today, Air Technologies® is the largest installer of aluminum piping systems in North America.
Benefits of aluminum piping
Save Time
- Specially designed connectors decrease the amount of labor required for installation and modification and can save up to 60% of the time required to install traditional materials such as steel and copper
- Specially designed “drop” brackets allow for easy addition of drops and bypasses to the
system with minimal effort—also available in “hot tap” - No need to solder, weld or thread
- All fittings can be “re-used” allowing the air system to be adapted to your layout needs
over time - Lightweight materials and minimal tooling make transport and prep work onsite during installation simple and easy
- The aluminum system is ready for immediate pressurization—just connect and go
- The aluminum system is adaptable to any current system and is complete with all
fittings required to connect to and from all machinery
Saving on energy cost
- The smooth interior and “full-flow” fitting design of the aluminum system minimizes the amount of energy required to move molecules from point to point, reducing system pressure drop. Every 2 psi in lost pressure represents 1% of energy consumption by the compressor. A 20 psi system pressure drop has a 10% impact on energy consumption
- The patented fittings are “airtight” and designed for zero-leakage. Fixing air leaks can be one of the least expensive ways to recover energy expense in your facility. Air Technologies® can walk you through the process of recovering these dollars, including a system audit and ROI information for replacing or repairing your current piping
Safety and Durability
- High quality, seamless extruded aluminum alloy for corrosion resistance
- High quality, glass filled nylon composite fittings
- All components conform to the ASME industrial pressure codes
- All components are non-flammable according to UL standards
- Protective powder-coating increases resistance to chemical washdown and UV for external applications
Aesthetics
- Promotes a clean, professional look to the production environment
- Available in multiple colors for quick identification with no need to paint after installation
- System flexibility reduces the “spider web” of pipe overhead by adapting lines specifically where they need to be
- A wide variety of accessories are available, including valves and adaptors that streamline the look and efficiency of the system from source to point of use
