Before pricing a 37 kW machine for Stormill, the system should be mapped from the furthest point of use back to the compressor room to expose pressure loss and storage needs.
Typical planning role: a multi-shift plant-air system with steady base demand.
Installations in Stormill should be planned around the actual operating environment. For this automotive and component-manufacturing environment, we normally pay particular attention to measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. For the Stormill application, the 37 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
One realistic design case for this page is a replacement project where the existing system is short of pressure during warehousing peaks. The 37 kW unit supplies about 6.2 m³/min at a typical 7 bar reference point, but the decision must be checked at the site’s actual pressure and simultaneous demand. The Stormill system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 37 kW machine.
Build the 37 kW package around the process
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For warehousing in Stormill, list the equipment behind pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support and separate steady consumers from short peaks. This determines whether 37 kW is a base-load match or only one part of the final system.
02 · Air treatment
Protect the sensitive point of use
The package should address measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive warehousing application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 37 kW Stormill package from a generic equipment-only quote.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where food processing demand changes through the shift, VSD may reduce unloaded operation. Where demand is stable, fixed-speed can remain the better-value option. The choice should follow a demand profile, not a general rule. On the Stormill project, we confirm this specifically for the 37 kW package and the measured duty profile.

Design priorities for Stormill
Within the Stormill proposal, those conditions are reflected in the supporting equipment selected around the 37 kW compressor.
For this 37 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the warehousing process instead of treating them as optional extras. For Stormill, the 37 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Stormill quotation
Does the site have dusty, humid or corrosive conditions that change the filtration plan?
Are there short high-flow events that should be handled by storage rather than extra motor size?
Which tools, machines or valves can operate at the same time?
What is the minimum pressure required at the furthest point of use?
How many hours per shift will the compressor run, and how many shifts are worked?
Three ways to package the 37 kW compressor
Integrate into an existing air station
Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Stormill. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. The final 37 kW proposal for Stormill will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
Complete production-air package
Combine the 37 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000–2 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the warehousing duty. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 37 kW installation in Stormill.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future food processing demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. In the Stormill quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 37 kW system.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. The 37 kW design for Stormill is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.
Questions specific to this 37 kW Stormill brief
If loss of air stops the warehousing process, compare the cost of downtime with a duty/standby arrangement or an emergency connection point. Redundancy can sometimes be phased in, but the pipework and controls should allow for it from the start. The Stormill system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 37 kW machine.
Include known equipment additions and a measured margin, but avoid buying excessive unused capacity. A larger receiver, leak reduction and a VSD/base-load combination may handle growth more efficiently than simply moving to the next motor size. The Stormill system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 37 kW machine.
Send the required pressure, list of air users, operating hours, electrical supply, existing receiver or dryer details, air-quality requirement and delivery address. Photos of the intended compressor position and current pipe connection also improve the accuracy of the proposal. This forms part of the technical review for the 37 kW Stormill quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
Start with the most sensitive point of use, then choose dryer performance and filter grades from that requirement. The design should also provide accessible condensate drains and avoid creating unnecessary pressure drop through over-restrictive filtration. This forms part of the technical review for the 37 kW Stormill quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
