Brabazon Pump, Compressor & Vacuum

Remote monitoring on compressors used to be a luxury. Now it's the cheapest insurance policy a plant can buy.

What it does:

▸ STREAMS live data — pressure, temperature, run hours, alarm states — to a dashboard you can check from anywhere
▸ SENDS proactive alerts when a parameter drifts from baseline, before it trips an alarm
▸ TRENDS performance over time so a slow degradation gets caught early
▸ INTEGRATES with our service team — we see what you see, in real time

Real example: one of our remote-monitored customers got a Brabazon proactive call two days before their compressor would have failed. Discharge temperature was creeping up — within spec, but drifting from baseline. We caught it. They scheduled the repair on their terms instead of an emergency.

Remote monitoring is available as part of our AirCare Plus™ service plan.

Every industry we serve has its own quirks. But the rules of running a great compressed air system are the same everywhere.

MINING — Robust equipment that can take dirty environments and temperature swings. Dust filtration is critical. We've kept Wisconsin and Minnesota operations supplied for decades.

POWER GENERATION — Reliability is non-negotiable. Redundancy in compressors, air dryers, and instrument air systems. Emergency response in hours, not days.

PHARMACEUTICAL — Validated, documented air quality. Oil-free compressors, multi-stage filtration, full GMP-aligned service records.

AUTOMOTIVE — Paint-grade air quality. Class 1 or better in many lines. Dependable enough to never be the reason the paint booth is down.

FOOD & BEVERAGE — Already covered earlier this month. Auditable, clean, dry, contamination-free.

Same rules. Different stakes. We've worked in all of these — across WI, IL, MN, MO — for 48 years.

Summer is the hardest season on a compressed air system.

Hotter ambient air = more moisture pulled into the system.
Hotter intake air = higher discharge temps and more stress on bearings, seals, and oil.
Cooling water that worked fine in April starts struggling in July.

Three signs your system is feeling the heat:
1. Dryer dewpoint creeping up after lunch on hot days
2. Compressors short-cycling more than usual
3. Air-end discharge temps climbing into alarm range

Catch these now, before a breakdown forces the conversation.

If you want a thermal scan of your compressor room before July hits, we'll come out and run one. 833-Want-Air.

Sometimes the answer isn’t a new compressor:

A food processor in central Wisconsin called us about rising energy bills. Their team suspected the compressor — it was running more than it should.

We ran a compressed air audit. The compressor was fine. The leaks were the story: dozens of separate leaks across the plant, adding up to roughly 17% of their air production.

After repairs, their compressor cycled less, ran cooler, and pulled noticeably less power. They’re seeing the savings on every utility bill.
Sometimes the answer isn’t a new compressor. Sometimes it’s finding what you can’t hear.

Our technicians don’t just show up: they show up trained. Every Brabazon technician runs through factory programs from our partner OEMs, plus ongoing instruction from our two in-house full-time trainers at our Green Bay training center. Mandatory certifications, no exceptions.

That’s why most of our service calls get resolved on the first visit. It’s not because we’re lucky. It’s because the person walking out of the van has actually seen the equipment before, in classroom and in the field.

We’ve been at it since 1978.

Our offices will be closed Monday as we honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Our 24/7 Emergency Response Line will still be in action: 800.825.3222

Have a great, happy, safe weekend!

The cost of compressor downtime isn’t the repair bill!

What does it actually cost when your compressor goes down? Hint: it’s almost never the repair.

A failed compressor in food & beverage production can cost $10,000–$50,000 per hour in lost output, scrapped batches, and overtime to catch up. The repair is small. The downtime is everything.

Three early-warning signs your team can spot without specialized tools:
• Temperature creeping up across consecutive shifts
• Pressure dropping in the same time-of-day window
• Oil consumption rising slowly week over week

If you’re seeing any of these, the failure is already in motion. The question is whether you catch it on your schedule or the production line’s.

The Challenge: Monitoring Systems
The Southern Illinois plant operated two compressor rooms on opposite sides of the facility with five compressors running independently. Without centralized visibility, compressors cycled inefficiently, driving up electrical consumption and limiting operational control. Plant leaders needed a system capable of coordinating equipment performance across the entire operation. Ready for the solution?
