👋 Compressed air optimization from Klagenfurt

Compressed air that needs less power.

Many compressed air systems quietly waste energy – through leaks, excess pressure or compressors running idle. I measure where your system loses energy and optimize it for the long term.

🧮 Savings calculator

What does your compressed air cost – and how much can you save?

A few sliders, a first estimate. The exact figures for your system come from an on-site measurement.

By default 3 kW per compressor. If you know the actual motor rating (rating plate), adjust the value here.
How hard the compressors work on average. Not sure? 70 % is a common starting value.

Discuss the result with Christian

An estimate based on typical values – not a guarantee. We determine the actual savings potential by measuring your system.

How we calculate
  • Electricity use = compressor power × operating hours × average load; cost = use × electricity price.
  • Savings: typical range of 10 % to 30 % of the compressed air electricity cost (e.g. by lowering pressure and optimized compressor control).
  • Compressor power: 3 kW per compressor by default, unless you enter your own value.
  • Your inputs are neither stored nor transmitted – your e-mail program only opens when you click “Discuss the result” yourself.
🛠️ Services

From measurement to optimized control

Compressor management

AIRLEADER controls up to 32 compressors, including variable-speed machines. Only the most efficient combination needed for production runs at any time – idle times drop to as little as 1 %.

  • Manufacturer-independent, for existing systems of any age
  • Self-learning, easy to operate

Performance measurement

The compressed air check records air demand, load and idle times and other key parameters – without disturbing your production.

Leak detection

With ultrasound we find leaks even in noisy environments. A single 1 mm leak can cause around €500 of energy cost per year.

Compressed air audit

We examine the design of compressors, dryers, filters, oil-water separators and condensate drains – and identify the measures with the shortest payback period.

Measure

Performance measurement during operation: air demand, load and idle times.

Analyze

Evaluation and audit: which measure has the greatest effect for you?

Optimize

Fix leaks, adjust network pressure, control compressors intelligently with AIRLEADER.

Monitor

The online visualization continuously shows consumption and leakage rate.

Certificate: award for competence in climate protection, klimaaktiv partner
klimaaktiv partner

We are a klimaaktiv partner.

We received the award “Competence in Climate Protection” as a partner of klimaaktiv, the climate protection initiative of the Austrian federal ministry. As part of this partnership we help companies reduce the energy demand of their compressed air systems – through performance measurement, leak detection and manufacturer-independent compressor management.

The award refers exclusively to our klimaaktiv partnership. It is not a sustainability certificate for the company as a whole.

💬 FAQ

Good to know

Does production have to stop for the measurement?

No. The performance measurement runs during normal operation; machine operation is not disturbed.

Does it work with my compressors?

Yes. The AIRLEADER control unit is independent of manufacturer, capacity and year of construction and controls up to 32 compressors – including variable-speed ones.

Where is the biggest savings potential usually?

Often in leaks and network pressure: every bar of unnecessary excess pressure increases energy demand by up to 4–10 %. The measurement shows which measure has the greatest effect for you.

How accurate is the savings calculator?

It gives a first estimate based on typical values. For reliable figures we measure your system – only then can we say which savings are realistic.
