Air Compressor Servicing Welshpool

Founded in 1973, Control Gear’s origins trace back to when its founders operated a small side business crafting custom machines. The business expanded significantly, prompting them to dedicate themselves full-time and officially establish Control Gear.

This initial expansion was driven by their engineering prowess, knowledge of compressed air equipment, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Decades have passed, and while many things have changed, Control Gear’s dedication to its customers remains steadfast, now standing as one of the UK’s largest fluid power experts.

We understand the critical role of compressed air in the industry. Therefore, whatever your requirements for air compressors, Control Gear is here to ensure they operate safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Control Gear offers the solutions you need to keep your operations running smoothly, from providing reliable spare parts to executing complete installations.

Compressor demand can change when a Welshpool site adds tools or extends its shifts. Control Gear can check flow and duty cycle before deciding whether maintenance, storage or additional capacity is required.

Air Compressors in Welshpool

CG logo 3 (2)

A market town, Welshpool is closely linked with the agricultural sector, and it hosts Europe’s largest one-day sheep market at the Smithfield Livestock Market. Its agricultural connections have attracted food production facilities nearby.

Compressed air is one of the most useful tools in food production. Used, as in many places, to power tools and equipment, its versatility means it can be put to a wide range of other uses in food production. Used for everything from cleaning to packaging, compressed air can even be used as a blade, cutting food without the hygiene and safety risks of a blade.

However, purity is vital to food production. Whether it’s compressed air or generating nitrogen, impurities in the air, even water vapour, can cause spoilage and worse. We’re experts in filtration, and whether it’s installing a new compressor or servicing an existing one, can give you the assurance you need that your compressor meets the demanding standards of food production.
