Today at the PPMA Show at the NEC Birmingham, Avelair is proud to be exhibiting our latest range of British-built rotary screw air compressors and air treatment equipment. As the UK’s leading event for processing and packaging machinery, PPMA provides the perfect platform to demonstrate how reliable compressed air is at the heart of so many production lines across the industry.
The Role of Compressed Air in Packaging and Processing
Compressed air is often described as the fourth utility in manufacturing – as essential as electricity, water, and gas. Within packaging and processing, it plays a vital role in countless applications. From powering pneumatic controls on conveyors and labelling machines, to operating filling lines, cappers, and sealing equipment, air is relied upon for precision, speed, and consistency.
Rotary screw compressors, such as those manufactured by Avelair in the UK, are designed to provide a continuous supply of clean, dry, and reliable air to keep these systems running efficiently. Unlike smaller piston compressors, rotary screw technology offers smooth, uninterrupted airflow that supports demanding 24/7 operations. For businesses in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods packaging, this reliability is absolutely critical.
Designed and Built in Britain
Every Avelair compressor is designed, manufactured, and tested at our facility in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. By building in Britain, we ensure the highest levels of quality control, fast availability of spare parts, and responsive technical support. It also means our compressors are engineered specifically with UK and European industry standards in mind.
Customers in the packaging and processing sector benefit from energy-efficient designs that reduce running costs and help lower carbon footprint – a key consideration as sustainability becomes an increasing priority across supply chains.
Ensuring the Right Air Quality
In addition to supplying the air itself, ensuring the quality of that air is just as important. Many packaging and processing lines – particularly in the food and beverage industry – require compressed air that meets stringent purity standards. Contaminants such as oil, moisture, or particulates can compromise product quality, cause machine downtime, or even pose a safety risk.
That is why Avelair also supplies a complete range of air treatment equipment to work seamlessly with our compressors. This includes desiccant and refrigerant dryers, filtration systems, and air receivers. Together, these ensure the air delivered to your process is clean, dry, and at the right quality level for your application. For food and drink packaging, our systems are designed to meet food grade compressed air guidelines, providing peace of mind for compliance and safety.
Supporting the Industry with Service and Aftercare
Beyond the equipment itself, Avelair offers nationwide installation and aftercare support. Our service team provides preventative maintenance, emergency call-outs, and ongoing advice to help ensure your compressed air system runs reliably and efficiently for years to come.
