Lodge Tyres
Lodge Tyres branch stops using ineffective water traps and solves compressed air contamination issues with the Expel compressed air filter.
“I’d recommend Expel to anyone with fitting machines, MOT bays, or anywhere you have compressed airlines.” – Trevor Standeven, General Manager, Lodge Tyres
Ready to Stop Equipment Failure and Save Thousands?
Project Background:
High on Lodge Tyre’s priority list is to reduce unnecessary costs incurred within a business.
The Stafford branch’s general manager, Trevor Standeven, was becoming increasingly concerned about the volume of water entering the compressed air lines. He knew he needed to take action because of the extensive damage to pneumatic equipment.
Water in the airlines leading to the four postal air lifters would freeze in winter, preventing the ramp from operating correctly. The fitting machines were another concern because moisture was causing the seals in the bead breakers to wear excessively, leading to early replacement costs and increased maintenance.
Summary:
Application
Air lifters and fitting machines.
Cost Saving
Expel stopped excessive wear and tear on the bead breakers’ seals, reducing maintenance and improving the branch’s productivity.
Why Did Lodge Tyres Choose Expel?
The general manager had made several unsuccessful attempts to resolve the contamination problem in the pneumatic lines. He tried standard water traps and water separators, yet the problem remained unsolved.
The site explored other solutions, including dryers, but they have high purchasing and ongoing maintenance costs and a far higher environmental impact. As a customer-focused company, the site needed to minimise avoidable maintenance and channel this time and effort into providing superior customer service.
Expel guarantees the results Lodge Tyres demands. It continually removes 99.999% of liquid water, oil emulsion fluids, and solid particulates down to 1 micron. The site would require three different conventional style filters to achieve the same quality as a single Expel unit but without the revolutionary efficiency. Its robust construction justifies the 10-year guarantee provided on every unit. Expel offers an unrivalled specification with no replacement elements and ongoing costs.
The Results:
“Expel has had a big impact. It’s greatly reduced the water and the maintenance costs on the fitting machines, and we no longer have those problems!” – Trevor Standeven, General Manager, Lodge Tyres
Reduced Downtime: Since installing Expel, pneumatic equipment at the site has no longer experienced faulty operation. Expel has eradicated all problems caused by liquid water, oil emulsion fluids, and solid particulates in compressed air lines.
Reduced Costs: The site no longer replaces seals on bead breakers because of compressed air contamination. They also no longer spend money on ineffective water traps.
Reduced Maintenance: The site no longer replaces seals in the bead breakers or deals with the consequences of moisture in compressed air.
Superior Equipment Protection: Unlike traditional filtration solutions, Expel consistency operates at 99.999% efficiency. Therefore, Expel guarantees that pneumatic equipment protection is to a continually high standard.
