Glaston Celebrate 30 years of Business

This year Glaston Compressor Services celebrate 30 years of business. Glaston's aspirations have remained the same for 30 years; to deliver complete customer satisfaction and to maintain and develop long working relationships / partnerships with customers.

One of Glaston's longest standing customers is Calypso Soft Drinks and Glaston is proud to have been a main supplier to Calypso for nearly 30 years.

Following a trade show back in 1980, a simple conversation about poor quality air and water contaminations led to a business relationship that has so far lasted 29 years and counting.
 
As part of the original solution, Glaston supplied a dryer and filters to remove moisture and contamination from the compressed air. Subsequently Glaston supplied an HPC DS140 and a 75 kW compressor that is still in use today. To ensure that compressed air is generated using the least amount of electricity Calypso now run a large compressed air system controlled by a modern, TREND based AirStar controller that was developed by Glaston.

Further enhancements saw Glaston fitting heat exchangers. This allowed the heat generated by the compressors to be recovered via the pre heating of boiler water. This provided Calypso with additional savings by reducing boiler system costs.

In addition to maintaining the compressors, Glaston also maintain the site's chilled water system. Calypso require 700 kW of chilled water at any one time. As with the compressed air, the production of the soft drinks is not possible without chilled water and as such Glaston regularly visit the site as part of a comprehensive preventative maintenance plan to ensure maximum reliability.

Calypso has found the services provided by Glaston so reliable they have never considered another supplier in nearly 30 years. Glaston has ensured the Calypso factory is running as efficiently and cost effectively as possible whilst ensuring reliability essential to a 24/7 manufacturing plant.

Bill Matthews of Calypso, who has liaised with Glaston since the very early days comments:

"Glaston's service is second to none, they are always at the end of a phone, no matter what time of day, to assist and respond to any issues."
