Ventura Enterprise Ltd is a start-up manufacturer offering bespoke integral blinds for double-glazed windows and bi-fold doors. The company has invested in multi-tool CNC drilling and punching machines to maximise throughput and boost its competitive edge; and since they were installed, these machines have been ‘powered’ by an
Atlas Copco G15FF 10-bar air compressor.
Integral blinds fit into the airgap between the two double glazing glass panes within the window or door frame; and compared with external blinds they are neat, tidy and compact — and need less time and cost for maintenance. Also, integrated blinds are not susceptible to damage through careless use; and as they do not gather dust, they offer a hygienic choice for environments like hospitals.
When setting up its operation, Ventura needed to source a rotary screw air compressor to power all the company’s manufacturing equipment; and as Ventura director Pritesh Patel confirms, the compressor had to be completely reliable, as the entire manufacturing process depends on it.
Ventura subsequently chose the Atlas Copco G15FF 10-bar tank mounted oil-injected rotary screw compressor, which was bought via
Atlas Copco’s online store and included free delivery.
Although a 10kW compressor may have been sufficient to handle Ventura’s current production requirements, the company decided to future-proof its operation by going for the extra capacity of the 15kW machine. Ventura also purchased an output filter to ensure delivery of optimum quality air to its manufacturing equipment.
Mr Patel concluded: “After Atlas Copco delivered the compressor we were able to install it ourselves along with the pipework, and it has now been running for more than four months without issue. We are very happy with the way business and production have been developing, particularly as we are now receiving larger orders. We are targeting large buildings like hospitals to help with their hygiene requirement, but also other commercial premises.”
