Compressed air is used extensively throughout a variety of applications. In many critical applications, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical and micro-electronics, businesses can''t risk product or process contamination from compressor lubricant. Many of these businesses have chosen to go with oil-free air to eliminate this risk. Read more: http://www.rogers-machinery.com/why-o...

When thinking about a compressed air system the first thing that comes to mind is a compressor, but what else goes into your system? The typical clean dry air system includes a compressor, wet air receiver, coalescing pre-filter, regenerative air dryer, particulate after-filter, dry air receiver and sometimes even a final filter before the piping takes the compressed air to the final application.

Compressed air is essential for many industrial applications. However, it is expensive to produce. The total cost of ownership should be a factor when considering a compressed air system. Here are a few ways to increase the efficiency of your compressed air system.

Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. The state boasts over 1,050 wineries, and in 2024, harvested 270,000 tons of grapes. The Walla Walla area in Southeast Washington has been referred to as the Mecca of Washington wines, with over 200 wineries populating the area.

From crushing & pressing grapes to fermentation control, many wineries rely on compressed air to create quality wine. Echolands, a newly built winery in Washington State, uses high-quality compressed air to make sustainable, delicious wines.

The system Echolands selected needed to be used for process air, which makes direct contact with their product. Air that does not make contact with the product is called plant air and does not need to meet high ISO standards like process air does. Because Echolands is using process air in their facility, their compressed air system contains Rogers Food Grade Lubricant to meet food & beverage standards.

GrovTec Machining is a family-owned CNC machining company based in Wood Village, OR. The company machines parts & components for industries such as aerospace, military & defense, electronics, firearms, and more. Parts are made with everything from steel to plastic, and their expansive facility can churn out hundreds of thousands of pieces per day.

Both compressors that GrovTec Machining operates are VFD compressors. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology allows the compressor to increase and decrease load as the facility requires. Fixed-speed compressors run at one speed all day, regardless of demand.

GrovTec's sizable factory floor is not always running at full capacity. With different shifts & order volume, the machining floor utilizes different machines for certain jobs. By using VFD technology, the company saves in energy costs, as the compressors can match air output with air use.

Engineering a vacuum, compression or pump system that addresses your specific process or utility system challenges, performance specs and classification requirements, is what sets an engineered system apart from standard product offerings.

They offer complete flexibility in system design allowing our engineers to utilize multiple technologies, controls and plumbing arrangements to meet exact specifications. They can address a variety of challenges across industries typical systems cannot accommodate for.

NW Wine Company, founded in 2003, contains 1200 acres of planted vineyard in Dundee Hills, Oregon. The winery was the first fully specialized custom crush winery in the Willamette Valley. They bottle 3 of their own brands as well as for outside vineyards and companies.

NW Wine Company's system works like this: the compressor provides compressed air to produce Nitrogen. This compressed air enters a wet tank, then through a coalescing filter before going through the refrigerated dryer and into a dry tank.

After the dry tank, the compressed air goes through 3 additional filters to purify the air creating clean dry air before entering the nitrogen generator. The compressed air then goes through the nitrogen generator and out through an additional coalescing filter to the nitrogen buffer tank. The nitrogen then returns from the buffer tank to the nitrogen generator for further purification & then out to the system.

Reuben''s Brews is a family-owned and independent craft brewery in Seattle, WA. They started as an award-winning home brewery in 2010 and quickly grew into several production facilities and taprooms. In 2012 they opened their commercial brewery, and in 2015 opened another that surpassed their 5-year goal in 5 weeks. The switch to canning meant investing in a faster canning line. Reuben''s Brews had been using Co2 for canning, blanketing, and purging cans and kegs. With rising Co2 costs, they were spending thousands per month, and with the addition of a new, high performing canning line, this expense was bound to go up.A Rogers sales rep sat with them to understand their process requirements and provided a complete, on-site nitrogen generation system solution.

Rogers Machinery specializes in custom engineered vacuum solutions. Each RVS is built to order, addressing unique and specific application needs. They offer a high level of customization to ensure peak performance and efficiency while decreasing costly downtime. Every RVS is assigned to a project manager who supports the customer from concept through completion. Our engineers have the technical expertise and product knowledge to deliver unmatched support.

Rogers was founded on a partnership of a couple of Navy buddies, Ned Rogers and Walt Novak. Two pretty different guys who found themselves serving in the USS Reno, a leg cruiser in World War II. Ned was a fella who enlisted in the Navy, I think a boiler technician was his rating, but he served in the same engine room as MR. Novak, who was an officer who had gone through engineering school at the University of Washington and grown up in Grace Harbor. So those guys met and thought "geez if we could get out of this alive, wouldn''t it be great if we had a little business. In the end, it does come down to people, we got great people and I think that what, between our principles and business practice and the people we are able to attract and cultivate here, I think those are the things that really do separate us from the pack.
