Ricoh goes for low noise and compact design compressors
April 1st 2008 When the Ricoh Arena in Coventry
was looking to offer compressed air
as a utility service to exhibitors,
Hydrovane distributor Midland
Fluid Power immediately
recommended two Hydrovane HV15
compressors to fulfil the task.
The Ricoh Arena in Coventry is
not only home to Coventry City FC
but also the Jaguar exhibition hall.
Peter Wilson, owner of Midlands
Fluid Power, explains:"The Ricoh
Arena holds a number of major
events, including engineering based
exhibitions, with companies
requiring compressed air to
demonstrate equipment such as air
tools, air motors and cylinders and
valves on their stand.
The two Hydrovane compressors
have enabled them to offer an
additional service to event
organisers.
"The reason we opted for the
Hydrovane machines is because
they do not require an air receiver,
which means their footprint is
reduced. They are also extremely
quiet and, as they are located under
the floor of the exhibition hall itself,
we didn't want visitors above able to
hear any operational noise."
The HV15 features CompAir's
reduced energy venting system
(REVS) technology which keeps off
load power consumption to a
minimum making it a high
performance, energy efficient
machine. More articles from Compair Hydrovane: |
