Powering India’s Handicraft Industry with Smarter Compressed Air Solutions
A Real-World Impact of the Atlas Copco GA55 VSD Compressor
The handicraft sector in India spans intricate airbrushed designs, woodwork, and precision tools – all of which rely heavily on compressed air. In this high-demand environment, energy efficiency can be a game-changer.
One prominent Indian handicraft manufacturer recently achieved 25% energy savings and improved operational reliability by upgrading to the Atlas Copco GA55 VSD air compressor.
Why Compressed Air Efficiency Matters
Compressed air powers everything from:
- Pneumatic carving tools
- Paint sprayers and airbrushes
- Dust cleaning systems
- CNC machines and planers
With sub-sectors like imitation jewellery and embroidered goods contributing thousands of crores to India’s exports, operational efficiency is critical.
The Technology Behind the Change: GA55 VSD
Atlas Copco’s GA55 VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressor is designed to adapt to fluctuating air demand, helping manufacturers:
- Save on energy costs
- Reduce maintenance intervals
- Lower operational noise
- Monitor performance in real time with SMARTLINK
Efficiency in Numbers
By moving from three older 37 kW compressors to a single GA55 VSD unit, the manufacturer reported:
- ₹3 lakh saved in energy annually
- Reduced downtime
- Lower noise and outlet temperatures
