Efficient and continuous operation are key elements in manufacturing, so it is important to have a compressor solution that does both.
CAPS Australia is all about delivering rotary screw air compressor solutions that drive productivity and improve profitability. It does this by offering energy-efficient and precision-engineered solutions that are built to last.
A specialist provider of compressed air and power generation solutions across Australia, CAPS has a portfolio of products and brands that are suited to Australian operating requirements.
Founded in Western Australia in 1980, CAPS joined the Ingersoll Rand family early in 2024 expanding its access to the Ingersoll Rand’s global offering of mission-critical air, fluid, energy and medical technologies.
Systems designed to suit the application
CAPS Compressed air product manager, Paolo Lazzari, said compressed air systems to support the varied demands of manufacturing industries, generally requires specifically designed systems that are configured to each application.
“Our name highlights our commitment to delivering the complete air and power solutions (CAPS) that our customers need,” he said.
“We have the ability to select the correct equipment for certain applications to ensure it meets our customer’s key requirements such as reliability, durability and energy efficiency.”
This is why CAPS delivers complete solution designs, developed by its in-house engineering team and supported through its Australian ISO9001 accredited manufacturing facility. These custom-built systems are matched to clients’ requirements.
Since it started, CAPS has been supplying Ingersoll Rand equipment and the RS & RM-Series oil-flooded screw air compressors leverage an advanced compressor core to achieve exceptional performance and reliability standards, which are ideal for manufacturing applications.
The optimised rotor profile and standard premium efficiency motor provides efficiency gains resulting in lower energy costs and reduced operational spend.
The compressor includes an intelligent controller that monitors key operations and adjusts system parameters to maximise uptime and minimise energy consumption meeting IE5 energy-efficiency standards using a variable speed custom Hybrid Reluctance Motor.
Local knowledge and support
With 10 branches nationwide, its dedicated team delivers service, expert advice, support, and spare parts.
With a 24/7 maintenance and breakdown service, they ensure customers’ operations run smoothly.
“CAPS gives our customers access to interact directly with product managers who have years of expertise, to ensure we understand their requirements, something that other OEMs struggle to provide because they are overseas,” Lazzari said.
“We operate in the same time zones and can be with our customer through the entire process, ensuring we understand their requirements, offering suggestions, providing advice and ultimately delivering the solutions they need.”
CAPS now provides Ingersoll Rand PackageCARE plans, giving clients value for managing their assets by transferring operational risk to Ingersoll Rand.
Scheduled air compressor maintenance, as well as using predictive analytics and analytical tools, can help prevent unexpected interruptions in production.
With more flexibility than an extended warranty, PackageCARE maximises equipment uptime.
Rental equipment to keep you operating
CAPS delivers competitively priced, turnkey solutions that keep operations running smoothly all year round.
The company also offers short and long-term rental of compressors and generators at good rates across Australia, making them suitable for projects, seasonal peak demands and breakdown requirements, with the flexibility to suit various needs.
With experience in renting equipment, CAPS maintains a large fleet of units ready for immediate dispatch from their local hubs.
This fleet satisfies a range of applications while ensuring top-quality equipment and a high standard of customer service.
