What Stood Out About the TS Series?
According to Sullair and the Plant Engineering feature, several key innovations set the TS Series apart:
-
Efficiency: Third-party verified by the Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI), the TS Series shows significant energy savings when compared to other two-stage rotary screw compressors.
-
Design: It features a new over/under two-stage air end with patent-pending inter-stage cooling. This compact layout reduces the machine’s footprint while improving overall performance.
-
Control & Adaptability: With multiple configuration options — including fixed speed, variable speed, and spiral valve technology — it’s designed to match output with demand, even in harsh environments.
-
Ease of Use: The standard 10-inch touchscreen controller provides a streamlined interface for monitoring and operation.
Broader Context: Why Compressed Air Efficiency Matters
Compressed air is one of the most energy-intensive utilities in manufacturing, sometimes making up as much as 10% of a facility’s energy consumption. Improvements in compressor efficiency can have a direct impact on both operating costs and sustainability goals.
The TS Series was developed with this in mind, aiming to minimize energy waste while maintaining durability and performance in demanding industrial settings.
Awards like Product of the Year aren’t just industry accolades - they offer insight into how technology is evolving to meet changing manufacturing needs. In this case, the Sullair TS Series represents a step forward in how compressed air systems are engineered for both performance and sustainability.
At Atlas Machine & Supply, we work with a wide range of compressed air technologies and keeping up with advancements like this helps us better understand what’s possible for the industries we serve.
