Why DIRECTAIR® is the Top Choice for Dependable Compressed Air in Packaging and Processing

For the packing and processing industries, and the many precision business sectors they serve, having a reliable, clean, and cost-efficient compressed air system is an absolute priority.

More than 30 years ago, OTC Industrial Technologies revolutionized the industry by introducing a completely new compressed air delivery model -- air as a utility.

7 Ways DIRECTAIR^® Differentiates Itself in the Marketplace

The DIRECTAIR^® compressed air solution offers numerous advantages for the packaging industry, including improved overall operational efficiency and enhanced sustainability. These advantages are achieved through benefits such as:

Significant Savings through Zero Equipment Investment

Packaging equipment can be a significant expense, but with DIRECTAIR^®, all necessary compressed air equipment is supplied and maintained with no upfront costs. This approach allows packaging customers to allocate their budget to other critical areas of their business.

Reduced Energy Costs

Energy is one of the most significant. Over the past 30+ years, the DIRECTAIR^® product has saved customers over 4 billion kWh of electricity usage, equivalent to over $500 million in energy savings. DIRECTAIR^® customers reduce their annual electricity costs by 35% to 50%.

Modular Designs that Save Space

In the fast-paced packaging industry, downtime can result in delayed shipments and lost revenue. With the DIRECTAIR^® 100% uptime guarantee, customers will have all the compressed air they need 24/7, 365 days per year. The advanced technology built into the DIRECTAIR^® systems allows for remote monitoring -- providing uninterrupted, reliable service.

Worry-Free Installations

Unlike many compressed air suppliers, every aspect of the installation process is handled by one seamless team. From site preparation to final setup, each step is managed by dedicated experts, allowing packaging companies to remain focused on production without worrying about unexpected delays. This hands-off approach minimizes downtime and ensures compressed air is ready precisely when it's needed, keeping even the tightest production schedules on track.

No More Repair & Maintenance Tasks
