Designing a compressor system for industrial applications is more complex than adding a compressor to a hobby workshop in a garage. These facilities must strike a balance between energy efficiency and the capacity for future expansion. It’s also important to have access to external service support in addition to the internal staff. With so many […]

Safety must be top of mind when designing a loading system to transport hazardous materials like caustic chemicals or unrefined petroleum products. Falls, improper vapor management, insecure coupling attachment, unintended breakaways, and static shocks all pose substantial risks to workers when operating loading systems. Using the correct components in a bottom-feed loading system reduces the […]

Without protective measures in place, powerful equipment can destroy itself in mere minutes. The use of industrial lubricants can prevent this damage. However, identifying the right lubricant solution for specific needs not only reduces premature ware but can drastically increase the longevity of industrial equipment. A.W. Chesterton Company designs specialized products to enhance operational efficiency, including […]

Contaminants such as dirt, dust, or moisture are the enemies of compressor system longevity. While air treatment products like filters and air dryers remove these contaminants, oil vapors make disposing of leftover condensate a more complicated process. An oil-water separator is a vital part of any compressor system to ensure that condensate is safe for […]
Pump systems handling food or beverages must maintain a sterile environment to comply with FDA regulations. These strict standards do not end when the product exits the discharge port of a pump. A sanitary hose system is key in maintaining sterile environments for food manufacturers. Here are the key differences between polymer and metal sanitary […]

Working with harsh or hazardous materials is uniquely challenging due to the risks posed to employees and equipment. Aggregate slurry pumps in the mining industry, caustic chemical transfer pumps, and RAS pumps in wastewater treatment typically have much shorter lifespans because of the materials they work with. Using a peristaltic pump offers an alternative […]
