Sustainability is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ – it’s a necessity. Businesses across the UK are facing increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact while also cutting costs. One often overlooked area for energy savings is pneumatics, where inefficiencies can lead to significant wastage. Camozzi Automation UK is committed to helping businesses optimise their pneumatic systems, reducing energy consumption while improving performance. The hidden cost of compressed air waste Pneumatic systems are integral to almost every manufacturing process, yet they are often one of the biggest energy drains in a facility. Shockingly, up to 35% of compressed air is wasted due to leaks, adding unnecessary costs and increasing a company’s carbon footprint. The old approach of prioritising performance over efficiency is no longer viable; the future of industrial automation lies in balancing power with sustainability. Camozzi Automation also supports connectors featuring bio-sourced materials and high-performance sealing to reduce leaks and improve durability. The company’s pneumatic tubing is designed for easy installation and long-term reliability, helping to eliminate unnecessary air losses. It can help to prevent energy waste by improving compressed air quality and system performance with its air filtration and treatment solutions. And its pressure boosters and flow sensors provide intelligent monitoring and control solutions that optimise air usage and cut operating costs. Enhancing pneumatic expertise Camozzi Automation UK also believes that sustainability goes hand in hand with education and expertise. To support this, it offers specialist pneumatic training courses designed to help engineers, technicians, and industry professionals stay ahead in an evolving landscape with expert guidance and hands-on experience. The company’s courses provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills to help professionals optimise their pneumatic systems – reducing energy waste and contributing to a more sustainable future. Looking Ahead The shift towards sustainable manufacturing is accelerating, and pneumatic efficiency is becoming a key area of focus. Energy efficiency and sustainability must go hand in hand, and Camozzi Automation is proud to be driving this change – one pneumatic system at a time. manufacturers by providing technical guidance on optimising pneumatic efficiency and reducing air leaks, delivering smart solutions, such as energyefficient components and intelligent monitoring systems and assessing air usage to identify improvements, whether through small adjustments or complete system overhauls.
