Compressed Air & Vacuum Bulletins

Did you know that during the summer months an air compressor that generates 100CFM during a single 8 hour shift can put as much as 24 liters of water in your compressed air system?

 

This water if not removed ends up in your machinery, throughout your pneumatics and other air operated tooling.  The pre-lubricated components lose their oil, creating more maintenance and replacement costs and the reliability of the machinery is drastcially effected.

 

Do You Process Food or Pharmaceuticals?  You need DRY air for sure.

 

So, if you need an air dryer or already have one that isn't up to the job, give us a call and we'll get right on it.

 

In fact you can call Lisa, our sales tech directly

RECENT PROJECT 2016

This single claw compressor, that's right, a claw compressor services the complete marina.  Through hundreds of feet of submerged piping, this pump runs 24/7 without the need for maintenance.

 

That's right, all day long without a care in the world.

 

Contact us today by clicking here to find out what you need for your marina and docks system!

But do you have the right equipment for ice prevention at your marina?  Got a compressor thumping away all day long trying to make air bubbles across the expanse of your dock area?  Yeh, you might have that, at best.

 

CompreVac specialize in water bubbling systems and not by plugging a compressor in the wall sourced from the local hardware store either.  You need something that is designed for exactly what you need.  15-20psi of low pressure efficient low cost air.

So you own and operate a marina in our amazing country.  Boating in the spring and summer and even the fall but in the winter?  No.

 

Winter is coming and sometimes it's fiercer than ever before.  So the boats are winterized and pulled out of the water onto the dry docks and trailers.

 

But what about all your docks?  Are they ready for the impending doom and gloom of the weather man?


Heaving ice floes and ice pressure buildup, can shift dock pilings or even lift them right out of their footings. By taking a few steps to winterize your dock before the lake freezes over, you can lengthen its life exponentially and protect your investment. 

So come the spring time, you're back at it earning a living and enjoying the joys of boating life.

VACUUM COLD SPRAY VACUUM PUMP SYSTEM

The CompreVac engineering team design and built the vacuum pumping system for the Concordia University Capstone competition.  Details of the Concordia team are shown below.

A Vacuum Cold Spray (VCS) system is a cutting-edge technology in the field of thin-film spray coatings. Unlike conventional methods of coating such as plasma spraying and thermal spraying, VCS operates at room temperature.  Moreover, this system is capable of applying thin-film coatings of solid state ceramics using a unique vacuum aerosol deposition method developed in Japan in recent years. The VCS system being developed by our team at Concordia University will be able to accelerate micro ceramic particles (100 times smaller than a human hair) to supersonic speeds to create a durable solid-state coating. 

 

The VCS’s supersonic particle velocity is achieved by using a sophisticatedly engineered converging-diverging nozzle, located inside of the vacuum chamber, combined with a CompreVac high-flow vacuum pump and booster as well as a fluidized bed aerosol generator. The prototype constructed in partnership with CompreVac and the Capstone team will allow university researchers to push the boundaries of next-generation thin-film coatings.


In the near future, VCS technology will be able to provide advanced coatings for the aerospace, automobile, microelectronics, and energy industries. Some of the foreseen advantages of VCS coatings include, but are not limited to: improved mechanical properties, improved corrosion resistance, thermal and scratch resistance, improved electrical conductivity, improved magnetic properties, adhesion and optical properties, and many more.
