General Manufacturing
When your air supply stops, your production stops
Compressed air is often called the fourth utility in manufacturing and like electricity, you only notice it when it fails. An undersized compressor that can’t keep up with demand, a system full of leaks wasting energy, or a breakdown with no service cover in place can cost far more than the equipment itself.
J&J Air Systems have been supplying and servicing compressed air equipment for UK manufacturers for over sixty years. We design systems that are correctly sized for your load, energy-efficient to run, and backed by proper service support so your production line keeps moving.
Common problems we solve
- Pressure dropping during peak demand: compressor undersized or system has excessive leaks
- High energy bills: inefficient fixed-speed compressor running unloaded for long periods
- Water or oil contamination in the air line: inadequate drying or filtration
- No service cover: compressor breakdown with no engineer available
- PSSR 2000 compliance overdue: pressure vessel inspection lapsed
Typical applications
- Pneumatic cylinders, actuators and valve systems on production lines
- Air tools: impact wrenches, grinders, drills and riveters
- CNC machining: clamping, workholding and coolant blow-off
- Conveying and handling of components and materials
- Cleaning and blowdown between process stages
- Spray painting and surface finishing
- Leak testing and pressure checks
What we supply
- Rotary screw and piston compressors from CompAir and other leading brands
- Variable speed drive (VSD) compressors, typically 20-50% energy saving over fixed-speed
- Air receivers, refrigerant and desiccant dryers, filtration to 0.001 micron
- Parker Hannifin pneumatic components: cylinders, valves, FRLs, fittings and tubing
- Air tools and accessories
- Pipework design and installation
Our services
- Compressed air audits: we find the leaks, inefficiencies and sizing problems you don’t know about
- System design and installation for new and existing facilities
- Planned maintenance contracts and PSSR 2000 statutory inspections
- Emergency breakdown cover with parts stock for most major brands
- Hire compressors from £10/day while yours is being repaired
