The Smarter Pipework System for Compressed Air
When it comes to compressed air installations, pipework isn’t just a means to an end, it’s a critical component that affects your system’s efficiency, air quality, and long-term operating costs.
At Technical Air Systems, we’ve seen the industry evolve—and we believe Atlas Copco’s AIRnet pipework is the future. Whether you’re expanding a facility or starting from scratch, here’s why AIRnet aluminium and stainless steel systems outperform traditional carbon or galvanised steel.
✅ 1. No Rust, No Contamination
Unlike carbon steel or galvanised pipework, AIRnet aluminium and stainless systems are 100% corrosion-free. That means:
No rust particles entering your process or tools
Cleaner, food-grade quality air
Lower risk of filter blockages and system failures
⚡ 2. Energy Efficiency by Design
AIRnet systems feature smooth internal surfaces and seamless joints—delivering lower pressure drops compared to rougher steel pipework. This results in:
Reduced compressor energy demand
Consistent flow to the point of use
Lower electricity bills over the life of the system
🛠️ 3. Faster Installation = Less Downtime
AIRnet pipework is designed for speed. With modular push-to-fit or press-fit designs:
Install time is reduced by up to 70%
Zero hot works required
Easy to modify or expand in future
In most cases, we complete installations without disrupting your production.
💸 4. Lifetime Cost Savings
Yes, AIRnet costs more upfront than carbon steel. But factor in:
Reduced installation time
Lower maintenance costs
Better efficiency
Longer service life
…and the lifetime cost is significantly lower. Many of our customers see full payback within just a few years.
🧰 5. Built for Every Environment
Aluminium AIRnet is ideal for most indoor applications—lightweight, durable, and easy to handle.
Stainless Steel AIRnet is perfect for aggressive environments like food, beverage, chemical, or high-temperature areas.
TAS supplies and installs both ranges, depending on your exact need.
