With over 110 years’ experience, BOGE KOMPRESSOREN Otto Boge GmbH & Co. KG is one of Germany’s oldest compressor and compressed air manufacturers. Manufacturers’ Monthly learns how BOGE is prioritising sustainability in their products to reduce carbon emissions.

Atlas Copco speaks with Manufacturers’ Monthly about their latest OSC oil-water separators and why they are a win-win solution both for oil-lubricated compressors and the environment.

The next-generation VSD offers 60 per cent energy savings and smart, flexible operation. Delfin Perozo, product manager for oil–injected screw compressors at Atlas Copco Compressors Australia, explains.

Sullair Australia’s Shael Esler explains the importance of having a preventative maintenance plan and how transformative it can be for a business.
