Compressed Air for FMCG and Packaging
Filling lines, labellers, cartoners, palletisers. High speed packaging depends on consistent compressed air. We keep your lines running at full capacity.
How Compressed Air Powers Your Operations
Filling Lines
Pneumatic valves controlling fill speeds and volumes. Consistent pressure means consistent fill weights and fewer rejects.
Labelling Machines
Label applicators depend on clean, dry air for reliable label placement at high speed.
Cartoning and Case Packing
Carton erectors, packers, and sealers all powered by compressed air.
Palletising
Robotic and conventional palletisers using pneumatic grippers and actuators.
Reject Systems
Air-powered reject mechanisms removing defective products from the line. Inconsistent air means defective products reaching customers.
Shrink Wrapping
Film dispensing, cutting, and sealing systems running on compressed air.
Where FMCG Lines Lose Efficiency to Air
Pressure drops during changeovers
Demand spikes during line changeovers can starve parallel lines. Most systems are sized for steady state, not the peaks that actually cause problems.
Reject system inconsistency
When air pressure drops, reject mechanisms slow down or misfire. Defective products pass through to customers. The cost of a retailer complaint dwarfs the cost of proper air supply.
Energy waste at million unit volumes
A fraction of a penny per unit in wasted compressed air becomes significant at FMCG volumes. Leaks, oversized compressors, and poor load management multiply across every shift.
Consistent Air for Consistent Output
FMCG packaging demands consistent compressed air at every point on the line, every minute of every shift. Not average pressure. Consistent pressure.
Airmech sizes, maintains, and monitors compressed air systems to match your actual demand profile. We identify pressure drop causes, right size your system for changeover peaks, and keep your reject systems running reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you service during production hours?
We schedule planned maintenance around your production calendar. Minor checks during shift changes, major services during planned downtime. Your line uptime is always the priority.
How do you handle multi-line demand peaks?
We assess your demand profile across all lines, including changeover peaks and simultaneous running scenarios. If your system is undersized for actual peak demand, we recommend solutions ranging from additional storage to VSD control.
Do you provide air quality testing for product contact?
Yes. We provide ISO 8573 air quality testing for particulates, moisture, and oil content. Essential for any compressed air that contacts your product or packaging directly.
What energy savings can we expect?
Typical FMCG sites recover 20 to 30% of wasted compressed air through leak repair, pressure optimisation, and improved control. At your production volumes, even small efficiency gains compound significantly.
