IAC: Tell us about the air system at Ilsco before CAS supplied by IAC.

KJ: Contracting with IAC to implement a CAS system at Ilsco was absolutely the right move for us. We were running too much horsepower resulting in high energy cost. We had way too much downtime due to unreliable compressors and our air quality was below par with severe moisture problems.

IAC: So explain how things have changed since IAC installed their CAS program.

KJ: Compressed air is just not a concern any more at all. We reallocated 60 man hours per week to doing what we do best. We let IAC do their job and we have completely eliminated downtime and our air quality is superb. Our electric cost related to compressed air have been cut in half to run the same production as before. We have experienced ten years of uptime and we just agreed to partner for another ten years.

IAC: What has been your overall level of satisfaction with the CAS program implemented by IAC ten years ago?

KJ: We could not be more pleased and impressed. Compressed air has gone from being a constant concern to being thought of as electricity or water. We just open a valve and it’s there! Totally reliable!
