Reduce Compressed Air Leakage

Diagnosis Report


An average of 20% of compressed air leaks in almost every work site.
There is no need to go through complex processes to improve every part. Improving leakage is the most effective way to easily reduce power costs.
With a low investment cost, 70% of the amount of the total leakage can be improved.By recognizing the parts that leak, you can reduce 20% of the power costs of the air compressor at a low cost with less effort.
