At Power Tool Traders, we take immense pride in supporting South African industries that push the boundaries of quality and innovation. Recently, we had the privilege of partnering with Kerry Piper (Pty) Ltd, a company deeply dedicated to culinary excellence and product development within the poultry, meat, and quick-service restaurant (QSR) sectors.
Operating out of their spotless, world-class facility in Centurion, Gauteng, Kerry Piper required a compressed air solution that matched their high standards for precision and hygiene.
The Detroit CX-10FV is a powerhouse of efficiency and reliability. For a facility like Kerry Piper’s, where production demands can fluctuate based on the specific culinary project at hand, this unit was the perfect fit.
Key Specifications of the Installation:
- Power & Output: 10Hp motor delivering 33Cfm (1 Cbm) @ 1.0Mpa.
- VSD Technology: The Variable Speed Drive ensures that the compressor only works as hard as the demand requires. This leads to massive electricity savings and reduced wear and tear on the unit.
- All-in-One Configuration: The unit is mounted on a 230L pressure vessel, saving valuable floor space in the factory.
- Clean Air Suite: Integrated with a high-efficiency refrigerated dryer and a multi-stage filtration system.
Why Purity Matters in the Food Sector
When air is used in blending and mixing environments, moisture and oil contaminants are the enemy. The integrated refrigerated dryer on the CX-10FV removes water vapor that can lead to bacterial growth or mechanical failure in pneumatic valves. Combined with the filtration system, we ensured that the air entering Kerry Piper’s mixing lines is of the highest quality, protecting both their equipment and their final product.
A Spotless Installation for a Spotless Factory
The Kerry Piper facility in Centurion is a testament to industrial hygiene. Our technical team ensured that the installation was as clean and professional as the environment it serves.
From the compressor installation to the factory airlines, we provided a seamless transition that allowed Kerry Piper to get back to what they do best.
