Vert offers free compressor hire
An Edinburgh company is offering to loan its own leadingedge compressors to any businesses in Scotland who are struggling in the downturn due to coronavirus.
Vert Rotors was inspired by a gin maker which switched to producing hand sanitiser. It could offer the free loan of a compressor to any small bottling plants, gin distillers or any other companies who switch to making hand gel for vulnerable groups or are helping the effort in other ways.
The company's quiet A100 compressor is powered by its own Conical Rotary technology which offers 100lpm flow and 10 bar pressure. The compact unit fits neatly under a worktop or bench, so it can be sited close to the point of use.
The low levels of vibration ensure minimal impact on surrounding equipment and people.
Vert’s chief executive, Dr Phil Harris, said: “Whilst our expertise isn’t in virology, we may be able to offer some small and medium sized Scottish businesses a bit of help to get through the next few months whilst cash-flow is under immense pressure. For manufacturing companies that have a reduced staff presence but need air for one or two production machines – we have a small stock of compressors we can offer for short term use free of charge so that pressuring a whole factory airline is not required. Every penny helps when cashflow is s under pressure.
“We can also offer a short-term free loan of our compressors for anyone who cannot get into their place of work but are able to continue producing their goods at home with a source of compressed air.
“Our stock of compressors might be able to assist small bottling plants, gin distillers or any other companies which switch to making hand gel for vulnerable groups or are helping the effort in other ways.
“We don’t have huge resources to pull on, so unfortunately can only offer these to Scottish companies. And it will be first come first served, but please get in touch.” www.vertrotors.com
