Fame at last!
Avelair recently made its television debut on Clarkson’s Farm when Jeremy Clarkson visited the LAMMA agricultural show at the NEC in Birmingham.
Admittedly, our appearance lasted for approximately one second.
There were no interviews, no dramatic machinery breakdowns and, sadly, Jeremy did not stop at the Avelair stand to order a new compressor. However, eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted the Avelair name in the background as he made his way around the show.
It was very much a “blink and you’ll miss us moment”…but we’re counting it!
In all seriousness, exhibiting at LAMMA gave us an excellent opportunity to meet farmers, agricultural engineers, equipment manufacturers and suppliers from across the UK.
Modern agriculture increasingly depends on automation, and many of these systems rely on a dependable supply of compressed air. A compressor failure is never convenient, but on a busy farm, particularly one operating automated equipment around the clock -it can quickly become a major problem.
Avelair manufactures a range of air compressors for agriculture, including both single-phase and three-phase plug-and-play systems.
Our compressors can be used for applications including:
- Dairy robotics and automated milking systems
- Optical grain and seed sorters
- Pneumatic gates and controls
- Agricultural machinery maintenance
- Air tools in farm workshops
- Cleaning machinery and equipment
- Crop processing and packaging equipment
- General farm compressed-air requirements
Single-Phase Compressors for Farms
Not every farm building has access to a three-phase electrical supply.
Our 3.7 kW single-phase rotary screw compressor provides a practical alternative for agricultural sites where only a standard single-phase supply is available. Unlike a conventional piston compressor, it is designed to provide a dependable and consistent air supply for more demanding applications.
It can be supplied as a complete plug-and-play package with a receiver, dryer and filtration, making installation straightforward and reducing the need to source several separate components.
This makes it particularly suitable for dairy robotics, grain sorting equipment, smaller farm workshops and other automated agricultural machinery.
Three-Phase Agricultural Air Compressors
For larger farms or applications with greater compressed-air demand, Avelair manufactures a wide range of three-phase rotary screw compressors.
Our systems can be selected according to the required airflow, operating pressure and air quality. Options include fixed-speed and variable-speed compressors, air receivers, refrigerant or desiccant dryers, filtration and condensate management.
By matching the compressor to the actual air demand, we can help farmers avoid purchasing an oversized machine that wastes energy or an undersized compressor that struggles to keep up.
Clean, Dry Air for Dairy Robotics
Dairy robotics and automated milking equipment need more than just compressed air – they need air of the correct quality.
Moisture, oil and particles within a compressed-air system can affect sensitive valves, cylinders and controls. In colder conditions, moisture can also increase the risk of freezing and equipment failure.
Avelair can supply integrated systems incorporating desiccant drying and multi-stage filtration to provide clean, dry and technically oil-free compressed air. This helps protect valuable robotic equipment and supports reliable operation throughout the year.
Our agricultural compressor packages can also be supplied in compact configurations, helping farmers install the equipment close to the application without taking up unnecessary space.
Compressed Air for Grain and Seed Sorters
Optical grain and seed sorting equipment relies on rapid, precise bursts of compressed air to separate unwanted material from the product stream.
The compressor therefore needs to provide sufficient airflow at a consistent pressure. The air should also be clean and dry to help protect the sorter’s sensitive components and avoid contamination.
Avelair can provide a complete compressed-air package for grain sorting applications, including:
- Rotary screw compressor
- Air receiver
- Dryer
- Filtration
- Condensate management
- Pipework and installation
- Commissioning and ongoing servicing
This gives the customer one complete system from a single UK supplier rather than a collection of components from several different companies.
Built in Britain and Supported by Avelair
Avelair compressors are designed and manufactured at our facility in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
We provide complete compressed-air solutions rather than simply supplying a compressor. Our team and partners can assess the application, recommend the correct equipment, install and commission the system and provide ongoing service support.
Whether the requirement is for a single-phase compressor powering one piece of equipment or a larger three-phase system serving an entire agricultural facility, we can design a package around the farm’s individual needs.
