Textile Industry Relies on Rastgar & Co for its Compressed Air needs

CompAir Automation Saves Energy

Shaheen Cotton Mills Limited, renowned locally as well as in the

foreign export markets for the impressive quality of yarn productions, highly competitive prices

and matchless professional services. Textile Sector of Pakistan Industry always enjoyed Sales,

Service and Spare parts of Rastgar & Co products. Rastgar & Co and CompAir, with full 4-S Service, help in achieving

monthly production goals of Shaheen Cotton Mills by offering reliable services and spare parts supplies.

CompAir has launched the DELCOS XL compressor, a built-in, easy-to-use, touch screen, intelligent

controller that ensures the reliable and efficient operation of its rotary screw compressors. Fitted to

CompAir's L30 – L132 range of fixed and regulated speed compressors, the DELCOS XL displays

detailed system analysis, including network pressure and weekly average volume flow, in the form of

on-screen trend diagrams and graphs, without the need for additional monitoring devices. Analysis of

these trends enables users to set precise operating parameters for their compressor. The multilingual

control system will then continuously monitor these settings, helping to reduce overall running costs.

The DELCOS XL's second pressure setting matches compressor flow to plant demand with great efficiency. This reduces compressor idling and is particularly useful during periods of reduced production, such as the weekend, and when maintenance work is carried out. DELCOS XL's integrated cooling and dryer controls allow the compressor's cooling fan to run continuously, if required, and enables the dryer to be started before the compressor, to ensure it is fully functional when system air is required.

As well as on-site monitoring, the controller can also communicate with external interfaces, such as a PC, allowing for the remote control of the compressor. In the event of a power failure, the DELCOS XL can be set to automatically restart the compressor, without the need for an operator, meaning that downtime is kept to a minimum
