Merthyr Tydfil and Compressed Air

One of the biggest businesses in Merthyr is General Dynamics. A multinational aerospace and defence company, they produce the UK’s AJAX Armoured Fighting Vehicles at their Merthyr Tydfil hub. In uses like this, compressed air can be used in situations like welding to ensure robust construction. However, a common use in many factories is moving tools and parts, even something as heavy as an armoured vehicle.

Compressed air can be used to drive conveyors, but it’s also sometimes used to create air cushions, effectively creating a hovercraft that can glide across the floor, even with heavy objects, making working with them easy.

From Iron Hamlet to Industrial Powerhouse: The Transformation of Merthyr Tydfil

Once a small, rural hamlet, Merthyr grew as its proximity to iron ore, coal, limestone, timber, and water helped it support not just one, but four major ironworks. But Merthyr’s growth was not just forged in the ironworks, but in the innovation that surrounded them. What began with the development of wrought iron manufacture and innovative steam engines continues today.

Control Gear works with all our customers to understand their needs and ensure that their compressed air meets the precise standards they require, so it’s cost-effective as well as reliable.

What is the Guardian Service Plan and is it available for my business?

Our highly trained engineers offer a broad range of service packages, including 24-hour coverage, and can also cater to more sporadic needs if necessary.

Other businesses in the area include OP Chocolate, Stephens & George Print Group, and Simbec-Orion, a clinical research company. Although these may seem like more straight-forward users of compressed air, their need for high-quality gas might be just the same.

In food manufacture, for example, there are rigorous standards to ensure no contaminants enter the food. Even water, normally harmless, can host bacteria that can spoil food and cause illness. Control Gear are experts in the filtration and servicing required to ensure that compressed air exceeds the exacting standards required.

The area is home to companies working in sectors like engineering, manufacturing, defence, food and drink, and pharmaceutical. They will all share a need for compressed air, although they might all use it in quite different ways. For example, compressed air is often used to produce nitrogen, which is an unreactive gas. This can be used to propel powders along a production line without the risk of contamination, to create an inert environment to produce high-quality weld, or even to flush food packaging to prevent spoilage.

For over fifty years, we have served Merthyr Tydfil and surrounding areas including Neath and Llanelli. Whether you seek bespoke design and installation solutions, wish to engage with our comprehensive service contracts, or simply require a spare dryer, we’re prepared to help you optimize your compressor usage to suit your individual needs.

Condition monitoring should form part of routine air compressor servicing in Merthyr Tydfil. Tracking discharge temperature, pressure stability, oil use and operating events gives our engineers useful evidence for planning the inspection and maintaining dependable performance.

Testing to ISO 8573-1 is currently available for chocolate, print and clinical research businesses in Merthyr Tydfil, confirming that filtration is still delivering the purity their processes need.
