Summer shutdowns are the easiest window to lose compressed air capacity, if nobody plans for it.

☀️ Higher ambient temperatures also increase the load on a compressor that is already working through a planned maintenance period.

Control Gear plans summer service and shutdown cover across South Wales and the West, so production restarts without delay.

Plan the shutdown. Restart on time.

A part that fits is not always a part that is genuine.

🛡️ Non-genuine components can void the manufacturer warranty and raise the risk of a repeat fault soon after fitting.

Control Gear fits genuine parts on every job across South Wales and the West, with service records kept in full.

Genuine parts. Warranty protected.

Some sites cannot risk oil anywhere near the process.

🌬️ Food, pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing often require certified oil-free air, where even a trace of contamination can mean a failed audit.

Control Gear supplies and maintains oil-free compressor systems across South Wales and the West for sites with zero-tolerance requirements.

Zero oil. Process protected.

A service that only happens when something goes wrong is not a maintenance plan.

⚙️ Planned servicing catches wear before it becomes failure, and keeps energy use from creeping up unnoticed.

Control Gear provides scheduled servicing packages across South Wales and the West, with genuine parts and full records on every visit.

Plan the service. Avoid the failure.

A compressor fault rarely stays in the plant room.

⚙️ Low pressure stops tools, holds up production and turns a small mechanical fault into a wider site problem.

Control Gear provides 24-hour emergency response across South Wales and the West, with engineers who understand the system around the compressor.

Restore pressure. Keep production moving.

Breathing air has to be proven, not assumed.

🫁 When compressed air is used by workers, BS EN 12021 testing checks oxygen, carbon monoxide, water vapour, oil and particulate levels.

Control Gear tests and maintains breathing air systems so site teams know the air is safe before people rely on it.

Test the air. Protect the people.

Pressure vessels need more than a service schedule.

📄 Under PSSR 2000, air receivers and associated pressure systems need a Written Scheme of Examination before they are operated.

Control Gear helps sites keep safe limits, inspection intervals and competent-person checks properly documented.

Stay legal. Stay safe.

Pressure drops do not always start in the compressor room.

🔧 Old steel pipework, tight bends and undersized ring mains can starve pneumatic tooling even when the compressor itself is healthy.

Control Gear designs and installs compressed air pipework that keeps stable pressure at the point of use across South Wales and the West.

Air where it is needed. Pressure where it matters.

Most compressed air leaks are paid for every day.

💨 A small hiss at the end of a ring main can make the compressor load more often, reduce tool pressure and hide the real demand on site.

Control Gear’s leak detection surveys tag the loss points and rank repairs by cost, so maintenance teams know what to fix first.

Find the leak. Cut the waste.
