Air Compressors for Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing
Plastics manufacturing is one of the largest manufacturing industry sectors in the United States, and it's expected to continue to grow. All around the world, manufacturers, retailers and consumers need plastic for everyday tasks and products.
No matter your manufacturing niche, your operation requires precision and consistency to deliver plastic and rubber products at scale. Compressed air systems are a critical part of meeting these goals. C.H. Reed provides air compressor solutions for plastic and rubber manufacturing groups. Our systems are engineered to deliver the efficiency and performance you need to stay competitive.
Why Air Compressors Are Key in the Plastics and Rubber Manufacturing Industry
Air compressors provide clean, controlled air for your equipment. Without them, essential components lack power or produce contaminated air, impacting output. Use air compressors for many critical processes, including:
- Injection molding: Driving plastic into molds accurately
- Blow molding: Inflating plastic into predesigned shapes for containers
- Extrusion: Pushing material through dies for pipes, sheets and profiles
- Pneumatic conveying: Transporting materials like rubber granules or plastic pellets
- Vacuum forming: Helping to shape and seal products
Contamination in the air supply can interfere with production, causing downtime and product loss. Falling behind the production schedule means missing customer deadlines and losing revenue. Your facility needs clean, high-quality air in the compressed air system to avoid these issues.
Making plastics is a delicate process, which is why air compressors for plastic manufacturing are so important. Their power is consistent and controllable, so it can be fine-tuned to make sure the plastic material is being made efficiently. They are also the ideal solution for tough environments that other tools are not equipped to handle.
Invest in Energy Efficiency Support
Energy efficiency is critical for maintaining production and remaining profitable. Inefficient, mismatched compressor systems drain power, driving up bills and slowing down production. At C.H. Reed, we specialize in designing high-efficiency systems using Quincy Compressor technologies and data-supported system analysis.
From pressure drop monitoring to proper compressor sizing, we engineer systems that reduce waste, eliminate artificial demand and increase productivity. We even offer remote monitoring tools so you can access real-time performance insight and control.
As a "True Blue" Quincy Compressor distribution and service center, C.H. Reed can work with you to create the most energy-efficient system to cut down on your facility's utility costs. Our experts will analyze your setup and provide tailored solutions to boost efficiency. Then, we'll analyze the solution's performance to ensure your system works at its best.
Routine Preventive Maintenance for Maximum Uptime
Unplanned downtime can lead to paused lines and missed deliveries, and batches might be ruined during the wait. C.H. Reed helps manufacturers avoid these risks with customized, routine preventive maintenance programs for their compressed air systems. We install, maintain and repair systems you purchase through us, giving you comprehensive service throughout the compressor's life.
Our maintenance of air compressors for plastic manufacturing includes:
- Routine inspections that follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
