• Increasing demand in the garage and body repair trade for compressed air that is both free of moisture and filtered to a high standard of cleanliness is reported by HPC Engineering, whose stand at the Automotive Trade Show will feature complete compressed air packages for the trade.
According to Ken Lisk, sales and marketing director, FIPC Engineering receives an everincreasing number of inquiries from motor factors needing to supply coachworks and bodyshops with compressed air systems capable of meeting demanding specifications set by motor manufacturers.
An HPC Plusair screw compressor package consists typically of a quiet and easily installed all-electric Plusair screw compressor, an HPC refrigerated compressed air dryer matched to the input of the compressor, an air receiver and one or two HPC filters. A package installed at the coach works of Clover Leaf Cars in Whitchurch, Hampshire, con sists of two HPC Plusair SKIS screw compressors (one online and one on standby), an HPC MRD109 compressed air dryer and two HPC filters.
HPC will show an extensive selection of its middle range and smaller Plusair rotary screw compressors, together with the appropriate HPC midi
and mini ranges of refrigerated compressed air dryers and filters from which packages to suit individual needs are assembled.
HPC will also be showing a selection of its heavy-duty reciprocating piston compressors, and a selection of HPC Economy compressors, designed for the smaller garage.
HPC claims a world record in offering both the world's largest oil-flooded single-stage rotary screw compressor and the smallest screw compressor available from any maker. HPC Engineering
