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.
30 years ago, OTC Industrial Technologies revolutionized the industry by introducing a completely new compressed air delivery model -- air as a utility.
What is DIRECTAIR®?
DIRECTAIR® provides customers with a worry-free, reliable, and cost-effective compressed air system that completely relieves them of the burdens of purchasing, operating, repairing, and maintaining their own equipment.
Just like electricity, gas, and water, compressed air is essential to many operations. DIRECTAIR® offers compressed air as a reliable, FOURTH UTILITYSM service with customers paying a monthly fee based on their actual usage.
DIRECTAIR® compressed air systems are designed, installed, operated, repaired, and maintained at customers' facilities at no additional cost. Each module is tailored to meet each customer's specific requirements.
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
DIRECTAIR® compressed air modules are constructed of all-weather materials and are installed outside the customer facility, saving valuable floor space—an essential asset in packaging operations.
Guaranteed 100% Uptime
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
DIRECTAIR® customers are not responsible for repairing or maintaining the compressed air systems at their facilities. Every aspect is expertly managed, allowing packaging companies to focus on optimizing production lines and boosting operational efficiency.
Maximized Green Initiatives
Utilizing the latest compressed air equipment and control technology, DIRECTAIR® has prevented millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the environment.
In addition, the DIRECTAIR® system's consistent output of clean and reliable compressed air minimizes scrap waste and trips to landfills. This offers a key advantage for packaging companies aiming to meet environmental standards, reduce waste, and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
