Project Background

For a newly established plant producing natural mineral water bottles, there was a need to design and select a compressed air system that would provide, on one hand, high-pressure air for the bottle-blowing process, and on the other, industrial compressed air for general plant consumption. The solution had to ensure high energy efficiency, operational reliability, and reduced long-term maintenance costs.

The plant sought a complete, turnkey solution from a single supplier – including engineering design, consulting, equipment supply, installation, and commissioning – eliminating the need to coordinate between multiple external parties.

What is the solution that we have developed for the costumer?

After conducting a comprehensive engineering assessment and measuring air consumption across production cycles, the compressed air specialists at Yeruham Automation designed and implemented:

A high-pressure air system (40 bar) for bottle blowing.
An industrial compressed air system (6–8 bar) for general machine operation, valves, cylinders, and control units.

The system is based on an oil-free 40-bar ZP55VSD compressor from Atlas Copco, featuring:

Variable Speed Drive (VSD) for precise, real-time adjustment to air demand
Integrated glycol water cooling + built-in air cooling system
Compact configuration — no additional support systems required

Advantages of the solution

Key Advantages for the Customer
1. Single Supplier – One Point of Responsibility
  Full support throughout the project: design, installation, commissioning, and after-sales service, without relying on external contractors.
2. Oil-Free Compressor
  Ensures high air purity for bottle blowing, eliminating risk of product or material contamination.
3. Maximum Energy Efficiency
  VSD technology eliminates idle states and reduces energy consumption according to real operating demand.
4. Accurate Pressure Matching to Production Requirements
  No unnecessary pressure differentials → reduced energy waste → lower operational costs.
5. Stable, Integrated Cooling System
  Delivered ready-to-operate, performs reliably in demanding industrial environments, reduces installation time, and minimizes ongoing maintenance.
Results
- Significant reduction in daily energy consumption
- High operational reliability and continuous production line availability
- Consistent and stable bottle quality thanks to precise, constant air pressure
- Short installation timeframe and quick transition to commercial production
