Table of Contents

This #TechnicianTuesday, we’re proud to highlight the proactive and solution-driven approach of our team at Air Specialty and Equipment Company during a routine service that turned into an urgent repair mission.

The Challenge:

During a preventive maintenance visit, our service team discovered a critical failure in the refrigerated air dryer at a local Pulsafeeder metering pump repair center. With a significant project pending, the customer needed the system operational immediately.

Our Solution:

Air Specialty sprang into action. Recognizing that repair parts were both economically unfeasible and weeks away, we offered a solution from our inventory. We had a replacement unit on hand that could be installed right away, sidestepping a long wait and high costs.

Implementation:

Our sales team quickly formulated and proposed a budget to cover this unforeseen expense, which was promptly approved by the customer’s procurement team. Our installation team then made the necessary piping modifications during the setup to prevent any downtime.

Safety and Precision:

Throughout the installation, electrical safety and energy control were paramount. Proper Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures were followed to ensure a safe work environment while keeping the business operational. Each action was detailed in our Job Safety Analysis (JSA), ensuring all steps were clearly planned and safely executed.

Successful Outcome:

Thanks to the swift actions of our team and the cooperation of our customer, the replacement was completed smoothly, ensuring minimal interruption to their operations. This not only saved time and resources but also reinforced the reliability of Air Specialty’s service and response effectiveness.

John Mire II from the installation team reflected on the experience, noting, “I liked the teamwork showed within our office to get the customer operational quickly and efficiently with minimal downtime.”

This story showcases Air Specialty’s dedication to providing solutions and maintaining operational continuity for our clients, no matter the challenge. Join us in celebrating the exceptional work by the Air Specialty team, whose skill and quick thinking kept critical operations running smoothly!
