The cost of energy has become a much larger portion of the cost of doing business. Compressed air is a very useful utility, but it’s also an expensive utility. It would be great if businesses could get a compressed air bill every month in order to track the cost – unfortunately this is not the case.
The way to get a handle on what compressed air is costing you and how much you can reduce that cost begins with Cal Supply’s energy conservation equipment and services listed below.
Cal Supply Co. is an advocate of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Compressed Air Challenge program. Our staff is trained to apply the Best Practices developed by this worthwhile program to make your plant as efficient as it can be. We have data acquisition equipment and are trained and certified in the use of DOE’s Aimaster+ analysis software as well as other tools.

Most air operated equipment will use less compressed air if the pressure to it is reduced.
Cal's diverse line of synthetic lubricants are “slipperier” than petroleum oils and are better at resisting the buildup of varnish inside the compressor.
Compressor controllers and sequencers eliminate inefficient control methods and make sure only the required amount of compressors are on line.
Solenoid valves can be wired into the controls of production machinery to shut of the compressed air supply when the machine is not in operation.
Cal Supply's zero loss drains are designed to eliminate the loss of compressed air that is inherent in the use of timed solenoid drains. Only condensate is drained. No compressed air is wasted.
