Over the last decade or so, compressed air has become a popular alternative to electrical power for various industrial operations. Both new and used air compressors in Toronto have been the workhorse in most of these industrial applications. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of misconceptions about their proper use. Among them, we are identifying the two major ones that have the biggest impact.
It is safe to use compressed air to clean dust and dirt from workplaces
While it is true that air compressors and vacuums work on a similar principle of compression, they are two different machines designed to do certain tasks. It is a sad reality that some used air compressors in Toronto are used to clean dust from workspaces with the belief that they can suck up air and remove them. However, unlike vacuums, they don’t draw air but rather bring it to high-pressure areas.
So, essentially, they are not suitable for cleaning up dirt but can even cause more problems like redistributing dust to other spaces in the workplace, blowing debris to the workers nearby and into electrical outlets. In other words, compressed air is not the right alternative for vacuums and brooms when it comes to cleaning.
Compressed air is more expensive than electricity
This is only the case if compressors are used inefficiently, regardless of if they are brand new or used air compressors in Toronto. But with efficient use, the use of compressed air can be cost-saving for many users. In order to achieve efficiency when using air compressors, here are some tips to remember.
Maintain the equipment properly by strictly following the maintenance schedule. Otherwise, damaged parts can incur more resources and higher costs.
The compressed air system must be properly installed using the right components and accessories for it to work optimally.
Make sure the pressure level is right for the application and never leave the machine on idle as this will cause energy loss.
