At this time of year it isn’t just a compressor service that we are thinking of. As Christmas comes closer and the first snowy layers have signalled the oncoming cold season we know that we will be reliant on good service from all quarters! Let us keep our fingers crossed that no more households will be without electricity or gas – recent news of the Scottish power crisis means many of us are nervously considering whether we should bring in stocks of candles, and heating and cooking alternatives. Christmas without Turkey is not the Christmas most of us imagine. Let us also hope that the postal service stays operative and delivers our Christmas cards and parcels to our families and friends. Good service is something we need at all times but at Christmas time it is all the more crucial. Our compressor service just might be a Godsend for your business at this time of year!
What if we don’t get the service we need whilst we are Christmas shopping? If restaurants don’t open for service, how will we have a celebratory New Year’s Eve? What will you do if your air compressor packs up? Business will definitely not be “as usual”. A compressor service is one of the best ways to ensure your air compressor is up to the challenges of the work you ask of it. Whether it is a large unit or a small portable compressor for the odd outside job, a proper service will give you peace of mind and leave you free to wish peace and good will to everybody!
A compressor service is always a good thing. It helps you maintain your air compressors performance just as you would maintain your car’s performance or that of your central heating through a service of both. Such good management helps prevent breakdown, costly repairs and eventually lost of customers.
This kind of service that helps businesses run more effectively and cheaply is just the kind of service that we want. Yet there are still many who still are not convinced of the merits of servicing, and do not consider it worth budgeting for an annual service of whatever piece of equipment it is for, preferring to wait until something goes wrong before asking for help.
We have service deeply embedded in our culture, as many cultures do: service to mankind – and of course womankind, service to the elderly, service in battle, service to your profession or vocation. Those of us who are religious and exercise our faith by attending services to worship a particular God, also experience service of another kind. Despite their difference to a maintenance service, such as the compressor service we are talking about, there is a useful equation to be drawn by aligning all the aforementioned services. The word “service” comes from the Latin word “officium” which means duty, and all services stem from duty: to your country, to God, to good performance, to your company, so it’s worth taking note that a compressor service is for the overall good health of your compressor.
Is there any time of year that is better than another for an air compressor supplier? Maybe, and then, again, maybe not. Year in and year out an air compressor supplier sells air compressors; but surely this does not occur evenly throughout the year. There must be peaks and troughs to the sales figures.
Much could be said for the warmer months of spring and summer when more outdoor and off-site working can be planned and carried out; a time for increasing one’s stock of compressor tools and parts. On the other hand autumn and winter, can bring compressor buyers through the door, as it is a time for inspecting equipment to see if it can last to the end of the year, and prompting the belief that it is time to invest in new.
Well now that the New Year is well underway, we may as well look at what this time can bring us. Reflections of the year just gone and the year to come will be occupying most of us, and that will include the air compressor supplier. Alongside many other businesses, the air compressor supplier will be looking towards an inventory of equipment and stock and will be planning the budget for the year ahead. Ensuring good quality stock and finding new custom whilst maintaining existing clients will be paramount issues. An air compressor supplier just may be looking to ensure their businesses keep turning in which case now may be the time to replace, or at least consider replacing, your air compressors.
The early New Year window is the one which many canny workshop managers keep their eye on. Just before the end of the financial year and many suppliers have to get rid of old stock and bring in the new, in which case look out for a bargain that you may not necessarily see as the year progresses. What have you to lose?
We wonder how far the compression industry would go in developing compressor accessories to enhance the performance of its compressor equipment.
As we wait for the next James Bond to hit the silver screen, we are told that this 50th Anniversary James Bond outing known as “Skyfall” is in the making and that it will more than ever prove its technological credentials. Unlike compressor accessories, the gadgets and gizmos in the films have not had to be proven in real life. Air compressors generally need accessories to have a real and positive effect whatever it looks like. In the movies, they only need impress the imagination.
If we look fondly back at the films that have gone before, from the very first Dr No to the one preceding this upcoming extravaganza, “Quantum of Solace”, then we should thoroughly enjoy the newbie. James Bond has moved through Sean Connery, some say the greatest ever Bond and who has never really been replaced, to finally Daniel Craig, not visualised as Bond in the public eye at first but presenting a more realistic and earthy version of the character then we have seen hitherto. However many Bonds there have been, there is also an absolute multitude of production accessories to delight and thrill audiences: lasers emitting pure gold, exploding cigarettes, cars with back-shields and oil sprays to foil those in the chase, flying machines, remote controls for car driving, techniques to make metal objects invisible, ice hotels, suitcases with disguising heavy artillery and so much more.
The compressor accessories that we sell are simpler things, than in the Bond world, and give real benefit to the air compressors they serve. Less fancy and they won’t in themselves save the world from evil but they do give good service and there is a real role for them, and yes a lot of work has gone into developing them to enhance performance. Have a look on this web site and see for yourself.
“All for the want of a horseshoe nail” ends the old English proverb. As children we learned this funny old song which tells us of a horseshoe that has no nail which renders the horse unable to walk, then a rider unable to ride, then a battle unable to be fought and eventually a kingdom lost forever, simply because a blacksmith did not put the right nails into the poor old nag’s shoe. This demonstration of how things are interlinked is salutary, really, and tailor made for the compressed air industry and for compressed air equipment. It means that eventually from a small incident a large catastrophe can occur; or if you like – from another more positive perspective – eventually from a small acorn a mighty oak will grow! There are many examples of this chain linking of many causes and effects all leading onto to greater and greater outcomes negative or positive. Well a similar rhyme could be phrased aboutcompressed air equipment.
For the want of the right components, parts, fitting or adaptors your compressed air equipment, will eventually fail. Whether it be screw compressor, dental compressor, silent compressor, petrol compressor, or portable compressor, or all the tools that fit, or all the hose that enables operation, all the equipment is linked and depends on all the other components.
Screw compressors are as reliable for their high and consistent impact as for their ability to deal with large scale output for manufacturing and industry. There is little to compare their regularity of performance with as they really are the Rolls Royce of air compressors except perhaps the other reliable and consistent, but not manmade, natural element of time and how it effects the English seasons.
The seasonal nature of British weather is as guaranteed as the great output of screw compressors.
As fog and damp descend every day, and the night begins at 4.30 in the afternoon, we note these signs of winter and how fast they have arrived on our doorstep, and marvel at how reminiscent it is of almost every year that has passed in Britain since time itself began. Well this certainty is matched by screw compressors every day on production lines, and in industrial plants. Screw compressors simply cannot be bettered for such large scale work; and like death and taxes, the oncoming winter is a regular feature of life in the UK and we can’t knock it. Cold though it is, it is as real as the industrial revolution. Just as many of us have said “Wow this year has sped by”, or “Gosh what has happened to this year?” as have appreciated the results of these big industrial helpmates when making aeroplane components, or repeatedly hammering metal in the heat of a furnace.
Screw compressors have class and quality embedded in their design and we should know, we have supplied them for many happy clients for many years.
Like any other provider of goods and services that are crucial to the workings of industry, an air compressor supplier is a valuable asset to many sectors; and this is because the equipment, and accessories, supplied are essential to the work of those sectors.
Suppliers, per se, have a peculiar place in our hearts probably because they remind us of when we depended on clever individuals to supply goods to us when we most needed them. The trading men during the world wars who managed to find cream when everybody was having to make do with dried milk powder spring to mind. They also found nylons for women ( who used to darn them when they sprang a hole) , chocolates and cigarettes, and more crucially good cuts of meat, eggs and fresh fish. Of course an air compressor supplier does not supply the unavailable items of the war years, nor the luxury items yearned for when times are really hard.
An air compressor supplier provides the quality air compression equipment needed by industry, manufacturing, medicine and dentistry, research and the home DIY market. An air compressor supplier has a compendium of adaptors, fittings and accessories for its range of air compressor units, large or small, freestanding or fixed, portable or stationary; and there is not a lot more to be said!
Our compressor sales take their place amongst the many sales held throughout the year and the New Year is no exception.
January does not just bring many cold long nights and gloomy wet days to make us shudder and yearn for the warm days of spring and summer; it heralds the start of a new chapter in retail and commerce. These days so many stores begin sales on Boxing Day however there are some that still start, as time-honoured tradition dictates, as soon as New Year’s Day ends. Whatever the timing, January carries more sales than almost any other time of year. The high street, retail parks, on – line businesses, showrooms, and many others all tend to use the New Year period to sell off the previous year’s remaining stock. It is as good a time as any to take advantage of compressor sales, if you can find them.
Should you need to find a compressor to take the place of an old one, or you are adding a unit to increase your output, or indeed diversifying and needing more compressors to support the new work then taking advantage of compressor sales is a good idea. By finding your next compressor amongst the many compressor sales, either on line or from an outlet, you could save a fair bit on your budget; an advantage not to be sniffed at these days.
A vertical compressor has much to live up to. Vertical lines are admired everywhere in the world especially in the art and design world. Tall buildings on sky lines or the tall conifers of northern forests that create symmetry are often used in contemporary interior decor; vertical street lights throwing light and shadow at the same time are equally loved in our modern world. A vertical compressor, whilst it might not be so tall nor so arty, certainly stands up!
Standing tall and strong was considered manly. “Walk tall, walk sweet and look the world right in the eye” are words from a well known song from the mid 20th century and much loved by easy listening crooners. You would need to be vertical of course to do such a thing! Standing is also associated with human rights: standing up for yourself, standing up for your rights and the rights of others – all to be done apparently in the vertical position on your two feet fixed firmly to the ground.
A vertical compressor is one that stands in less space than a portable or horizontal compressor; often fixed to the floor – they are used where less space is available and where it isn’t necessary to move about in the workshop or on the shop floor. They are used in large scale manufacturing and production settings. They leave space for other pieces of equipment and standing tall or not, they are vertical and proud of it.
Hallowe’en, Mischieving Night and Bonfire Night come in quick succession. Some say this season starts the real fall of leaves as we descend towards the next celebration of Christmas. In fact it’s the time of year for ghosts, goblins, witches, and other impish tricksters. If you want to haunt someone all you have to do is put on a white sheet and cut some holes in it, if you want to play a trick and see someone squirm, you can do it and never be punished. At this time of year we see hordes of children and teens walking the streets in strange gear, scaring the living daylights out of young ones and causing crazy mirth in the older ones. Compressor spares may be far from your mind at this point!
Bonfire Night is all this and so much more. If Guy Fawkes could see us from his grave, he would marvel at just how long we have remembered him. But then we love a fire especially a great big blazing one – and if we can use the fire to burn all that we hate then we are doing a constructive thing. Less constructive is not having the right compressor spares for your air compressor equipment. Without compressor spares at the crucial time you need them, you may not be able to light your fire – let alone start your machinery or power your tools.
"Fantastic service! I ordered the porduct on Monday and it was with me the next day."
