When customers are evaluating new equipment, there is one question that should always be asked first: How quickly will it pay for itself?

Compressed air systems are notoriously inefficient and are one of the most expensive utilities in a manufacturing facility. When using compressed air systems, up to 90% of the energy being used is lost in the compression and transportation of air – not in the actual drying or blow off process. And even more energy is wasted if you’re drying the air before compression. This is ultimately costing both energy and money. 

When it comes to drying and blow off, switching from compressed air systems to Paxton’s blower-driven systems is one of the smartest decisions you can make. Our customers routinely achieve a return on investment in less than 12 months, thanks to dramatic energy savings and system efficiency. Paxton’s PX-Series Centrifugal Blowers are engineered for maximum efficiency to deliver more air per kW of energy and focus all of the energy on drying and blow-off. Each system is custom-configured to match your application, targeting exactly where you need air – and only where you need it.

Because of the dramatic energy savings and system efficiencies that Paxton blowers provide, you will see significant cost savings as a result. Here’s how Paxton Products blower systems help you save:

• Up to 80% lower energy usage compared to compressed air systems
• 20-30% more efficient than other centrifugal blowers on the market
• 5-10 HP energy reduction when switching to Paxton PX-Series
• $2,000-$4,000 annual savings vs. other blower systems

By moving away from compressed air-based solutions, facilities can significantly reduce the demand on their compressed air infrastructure, leading to immediate energy savings and improved system efficiency. More importantly, this shift can help extend the lifespan of existing compressors by minimizing wear and tear, reducing maintenance needs, and potentially avoiding costly investments in additional compressors or air storage tanks in the future.

If you’re still relying on compressed air for drying or blow off, making the switch to Paxton would not only improve system performance, but also pay for itself quickly. Paxton customers consistently see significant reductions in annual operating costs and rapid payback after replacing compressed air systems
