Compressed air in Swindon and throughout Wiltshire
Wiltshire hosts a number of large, national and international businesses, many of which require compressed air for their processes, which is why BCAS has an extensive presence in the area.
For our customers reliability is paramount
Many of our compressed air and vacuum customers are based in Swindon, as well as other towns along the M4 corridor. BCAS looks after a range of manufacturing, engineering, and technology companies in Wiltshire and so understands the specific needs of these industries.
For example, several of our manufacturing customers run their processes 24/7. This means that they need to have the right equipment in place for a continuous duty cycle, but they also need to ensure that their compressed air system will run reliably, as any unplanned interruption to their air supply can have severe consequences. For these businesses, we recommend having a back-up machine in place, and we can advise on the most cost-effective option for this, including second-hand machines if appropriate.
However, regular, preventative maintenance, using quality parts, is the best way to ensure your air compressor runs as reliably and efficiently as possible. BCAS can design the optimum maintenance schedule according to a series of factors, including the way your equipment is run, the environment in which it operates, and the individual requirements of your application.
A proactive approach
Unfortunately, there are times when things do go wrong and equipment fails. Whether or not you have a back-up machine in place, BCAS recommends that you hold critical spares on site. Some parts can do have long lead times which can extend downtime considerably after a breakdown. To avoid delays, BCAS can advise on which parts should be kept for each element of your compressed air or vacuum system.
At BCAS we fully understand the impact and cost of unexpected downtime for our customers. This is why, to back up all of these preventative measures, we offer a rapid response to breakdowns. Our Customer Service team will arrange to send an engineer out to site as a priority, and we will get you back up and running as soon as possible.
