In its second significant expansion in four years, Artic Driers has opened an office in Cape Town. Under the management of Kazen Stehouwer the branch offers sales and support to Cape-based distributors.
The new Cape office is also equipped with the latest in air flow measurement equipment allowing Artic to provide on-site air audits for customers. In an air audit, data on dew point, air flow, pressure, velocities and power consumption are collected and presented on one easy to read graph. Air audits on compressed air systems help to identify the percentage of air leaks within an air system, evaluate the cost of those leaks and identify their location using ultrasonic leak detectors.
