Compressed Air for Tyre and Rubber Plants

Tyre and rubber plants run large compressor stations with sharp demand peaks from batch processes. The energy question is less about one big leak and more about how the whole station is run.

Where compressed air is used

• Curing presses and their pneumatic controls.
• Tyre building and handling equipment.
• Mould cleaning and blow-off.
• Instrument air and general plant use, sometimes at more than one pressure level.

Where the losses usually are

• Compressor sequencing that does not follow the demand profile, leaving machines running part-loaded.
• One pressure level for the whole plant when only some users need it.
• Demand peaks met by running extra compressors instead of using storage.
• Leaks and open blow-offs across a large site.
• No department-wise measurement, so no one owns the consumption.

What Systel measures

Flow, power and pressure on each compressor, dew point after treatment, and flow per department or building. The data shows how the station behaves through each batch cycle and shift, which is the basis for sequencing, storage and pressure decisions.

From there the programme runs the same way for every plant: a measured baseline, a year of monitoring with quarterly reviews, and an action list where every open item carries its cost per month. Your team makes the changes; Systel measures whether they held.

What you will not see here

Customer names and savings percentages. Systel names a customer only with written approval, and every plant’s result depends on what its own team closes. In a feasibility discussion we can talk through comparable plants from the archive.

By invitation. Not a free audit. A feasibility visit is where scope, sensor points and project value are frozen. It starts with a phone call.
