The story

Flying Spares Expands to Meet Growing Demand for Luxury Car Parts

Flying Spares, a renowned provider of parts for luxury and classic cars, embarked on an expansion journey requiring a move to a larger site to accommodate growing business demands. As a long-standing client, they trusted Airmech to equip their new facility with a cutting-edge compressed air system.

THE GOAL

Upgrading for Excellence: Flying Spares' Transition to a Larger Facility

The transition to a larger facility necessitated an overhaul of the compressed air system to support a more extensive workshop area and ensure impeccable quality in automotive repairs and maintenance.

The expertise and tailored solutions from Airmech were crucial during our site expansion. Their advanced compressed air system not only enhances our operational efficiency but also offers significant energy savings, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.

THE SOLUTION

Putting our speed and experience to the test

Airmech designed and installed a state-of-the-art compressed air system tailored to Flying Spares' specific needs:

  • An 18.5kW variable speed screw air compressor with an integrated dryer, ensuring efficient and reliable air delivery.
  • Two in-line filters to maintain air purity, critical for high-quality automotive work.
  • An oil water separator to manage environmental compliance effectively.
  • A compressed air aluminium ring main with quick release fittings for seamless operation across the facility.
  • Several hose reels in the garage workshop, enhancing operational efficiency.

THE RESULT

Energy Savings Power Flying Spares' Expansion

The new compressed air system not only supports Flying Spares' expanded operations but also delivers substantial energy savings. The variable speed compressor, capable of adjusting power output to actual air demand, reduces energy consumption significantly.

Energy Efficiency Savings: The transition from an 11kW fixed-speed compressor to an 18.5kW variable speed model resulted in:

  • New Annual Energy Consumption: 22,847.5 kWh
  • Annual Energy Savings: 4,322.5 kWh
