Quality craftsmanship requires quality compressed air
Compressed air is an essential utility at the facility that is used extensively. From powering the air tools - such as the sanders and polishers - to providing air to the dedicated paint refinish facility, the highly trained refinishing, repair and painting experts at Charlie Battisti require a dependable supply of high quality compressed air.
To meet these requirements back when Charlie Battisti first moved into the new facility, they opted for a Kaeser AS 31 series rotary screw compressor. Renowned for quality, reliability and efficiency, Kaeser was the ideal choice. After 15 years of reliable service it was time to once again upgrade the compressed air system and invest in the latest and most efficient compressed air technology available. To reliably and efficiently meet the compressed air requirements of the facility, Kaeser recommended and subsequently installed an ASK 28 rotary screw compressor complete with air treatment.

True class leaders when it comes to performance, the ASK series of rotary screw compressors deliver more compressed air for less energy. At the heart of every ASK system lies a premium quality screw compressor block featuring the energy saving Sigma Profile rotors. Kaeser airends are equipped with flow-optimised rotors, which contribute significantly to the overall system’s class-leading specific package input power. Efficiency is further enhanced with the inclusion of a Premium Efficiency IE3 drive motor, which complies with and exceeds prevailing Australian GEMS regulations for 3 phase electric motors.
Furthermore, the internal Sigma Control 2 controller ensures efficient compressor control and monitoring at all times.
The ASK series also combine ease of use and maintenance-friendliness with exceptional versatility and environmentally responsible design. In addition, the soundproofed housing keeps operational noise to a minimum. Normal conversation can take place right next to the compressor, making the ASK series ideal at point of use.

Shane Perry, Paint Shop Manager of Charlie Battisti said: ‘As a prestige vehicle repairer it’s always been important for us to invest in high quality equipment and Kaeser certainly ticks that box. We’ve been more than happy with the performance of the Kaeser compressors over the years. Moreover, the after sales and service support we’ve received from Kaeser over two decades now has been great.’
