Donald Good the Ingersoll Rand Distribution Leader Africa-Compressed air Technology Solution and Charles Ndegwa the Car and General Nairobi Branch Manager cut a ribbon to launch the Next Generation R-Series Ingersoll Rand compressors at a well attended event held at the Tamarind Tree Hotel.
Vernon Reppert the Sales Leader and Specialist -Compressed air Technology Solution highlighted the features of the R-Series. These include a connectivity feature which allows for remote monitoring, easy to remove doors, optimized gear lubrication and oil injection process, reduced noise levels and floating coolers that allow for better cooling.
The Next Generation R-Series also features a new state of the art airend. With more airflow for the same power input, the compressor requirements are smaller, reducing both investment costs and energy usage. The motor has been redesigned to extend the life of the machine while the V-shield technology allows for ease of repair and replacement of parts.
Julius Gatungu, the Sales Manager Ingersoll Rand emphasized the importance of quality service and genuine spares. He said, “It pays to use genuine Ingersoll Rand parts as they enhance the life and performance of the Compressor. Non-genuine parts wear out much quicker. Car and General is the only authorized dealer for Ingersoll Rand parts in Kenya.”
“Technology has evolved in the last few years and electronic systems in the compressor are more advanced. Diagnosis and repairs require highly specialized skills and an understanding of the entire machine and our technicians are trained to do this.”
