From electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains to truck chassis and every process in between, compressed air keeps automotive production moving. However, inefficiencies in sizing, pressure control and maintenance can drain efficiency.

In this live session, Kaishan USA’s Manhar Grewal and J. Howard explain how OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers can optimize rotary screw and centrifugal systems to improve performance.

Key topics and takeaways:

• Match the tech to the task: When to use rotary screw or centrifugal compressors based on demand profile, production pace and facility layout.
• Eliminate costly oversizing: How oversized systems lead to rapid cycling, energy waste and premature failures – and how to fix it.
• Protect production uptime: Prevent unplanned downtime through smarter controls, proper storage, and targeted maintenance strategies.
• Support energy and ESG goals: Reduce energy consumption while meeting air quality standards for sensitive EV and cleanroom operations.
• Design for scalability: Build a compressed air system that grows with your automation, electrification, and multi-shift production demands.
