Compressed Air Systems

If you rely on centralized compressed air to power your tools, pressurize your pneumatic tubes, sort mail or process materials, you can depend on Zuiderweg Construction for high quality installation, and reliable maintenance services. Choosing the right contractor for your job is critical. Our team of UA trained and licensed plumbers and pipefitters have the education and experience needed to complete your project.

There are some things to watch out for when installing or upgrading your compressed air system. According to your needs, a good system could consist of a compressor, an air dryer (with an automatic condensate drain), an air filter, a pressure regulator and pressure tank. It will also include the distribution piping and the user outlets. If you are using pneumatic tools, you'll also need an oiler. This adds oil to the air, automatically keeping your pneumatic tool motors well lubricated. Your specific needs will determine your system configuration. You need a contractor with the experience to correctly design your system.

A centralized pneumatic system must be sized correctly to handle your specific requirements. An undersized system will result in underpowered tools or lowered pneumatic pressure in your distribution system. It could cause your compressor to continually run, wasting fuel. Your equipment will wear more quickly and you'll eventually lose whatever savings you gained by undersizing the system. Zuiderweg can help you choose the right system for your needs. 

Watch out for contractors who use non-rated IE plastic piping for your compressed air systems. Compressed air can destroy PVC piping, resulting in catastrophic failure, injury or death, down time and costly replacement. For this reason, Zuiderweg uses only air rated and approved piping and fittings, using threaded, welded or mechanical joins.
