Currently, Ueno Vietnam is strengthening the sales of Anest Iwata's compressors a type of energy-saving environmental equipment, in the Vietnamese market. In this article, we will introduce the features and strengths of Anest Iwata's compressor-related products.

Silent, Low-Vibration, and Environmentally Friendly Oil-Free Compressor

Founded in 1925, Anest Iwata started by manufacturing and selling the first domestically produced spray gun for painting, later expanded into the production and sale of small compressors. The company has consistently developed groundbreaking products, including the world's first multi-jointed electric painting robot, co-developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. One of its most impressive innovations was the introduction of the first oil-free scroll compressor in 1991.

The oil-free scroll compressor is characterized by a structure in which the compression chamber and bearings are completely separated, providing clean, oil-free air compared to oil-based systems. This design prevents oil fumes from soiling floors and surrounding equipment, and also avoids water pollution caused by oil-contaminated drainage.

Additionally, the company has made significant strides in noise reduction, offering a wide range of models with exceptionally quiet operation. While noise and vibration are common issues with compressors, the company’s value-added products minimize these concerns, making the noise negligible and significantly reducing vibration. This is why many of the company’s products are used in research facilities where compressor noise is undesirable, hospitals located in buildings, and small factories where noise control is crucial to avoid conflicts with neighbors. The company's products also hold a significant share in Japanese dental clinics, reflecting their safety and cleanliness.

A Range of Products That Reduce Electricity Costs, Excelling in Energy Saving and Durability

The company offers a wide variety of energy-efficient models with different control methods. In Vietnam, there is a high demand for these energy-saving models, which quickly contribute to reducing electricity costs.

Approximately 20% to 40% of a factory's electricity costs are attributed to compressors, but this fact is often surprisingly unrecognized. When aiming to reduce electricity costs in a factory, the common approach is to prioritize replacing light bulbs with LEDs, installing inverter air conditioners, and setting up solar panels, while the electricity costs associated with compressors tend to be overlooked.

▲The power consumption of compressors accounts for 20% to 40% of the total electricity usage in a factory.

However, Vietnam continues to face power shortages, and in 2023, scheduled power outages were implemented in both factories and homes in the northern region. Reducing electricity costs is a critical social issue. Improving the energy efficiency of compressors can quickly and significantly reduce electricity costs, thereby contributing to the resolution of this social problem.

Maintenance is Conducted Locally in Vietnam by Anest Iwata’s Engineers.

In Vietnam, maintenance services are provided from Anest Iwata’s bases in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. The company plans to continue increasing the number of Vietnamese personnel who have undergone three years of training at the headquarters in Japan.

It is extremely rare for local manufacture employees in Vietnam to directly perform maintenance services using genuine parts. We recommend Anest Iwata products not only for their machine performance and added value but also for the security and reliability they provide.

Cost-Effective Compressors from Anest Iwata

At Ueno Vietnam, we offer a wide range of compressors from Anest Iwata, including both oil-free and oil-lubricated models, with outputs ranging from 0.4kW to 132kW, and sizes from small to medium scale. Depending on the size and specific needs of our customers' factories, we sometimes recommend combining medium and small compressors. This approach can help reduce running costs, as only the small compressor would be used during nighttime operations.

Once a compressor is installed in a factory, it can be used for 7 to 10 years, so switching to an Anest Iwata model immediately may not always be practical. However, given its high durability and long service life, it proves to be a cost-effective choice in the medium to long term.

The features of Anest Iwata compressors, such as their "environmental friendliness," "quiet operation and low vibration," and "energy efficiency," will undoubtedly gain more attention in the future. We are confident that in the Vietnamese market, these compressors will be highlighted as a top choice when it comes time for replacements.
