PSL Total Air take problems away for busy timber producer
“We rely heavily on our pneumatics and compressed air capabilities, especially at our pre nail plant. We had PSL Total Air install a Kaeser compressor and fit out all our airlines. I found them excellent to deal with and they sort problems quickly. It's good because I don't need to know the intricacies of what they do, they just make our problems go away.”

“They’re our service providers for all our pneumatics and compressor needs. They power the pneumatic rams that contain the wireframes that cut our cheese. I go through PSL for all our Festo pneumatics maintenance because they know it well and that makes my life easier. We’ve worked together for 11 years and I can’t think of anyone who knows our systems as well as they do.”

Comprehensive scheduled maintenance keeps the canvas rolling
“Almost every machine we use to make our canopies and sails includes a pneumatic component. We built a new factory and had PSL Total Air design and install all our compressor and pneumatics gear. They’ve been really good at servicing and maintaining. When they do need to come out, they come prepared with an auxiliary generator so we can continue to operate seamlessly while they service. I see no reason to stop using them.”

“They were great right from the start. They researched well and they quoted well. We service agricultural machines and motorbikes at our workshop and we needed them to fit us out with all our pneumatics and compressed airlines. They do a very good job. Very professional, no problems."

New compressor station lessens costly downtime for timber processor
“PSL Total look after all our air compressor needs. Most recently we had to upgrade our aging compressor station to increase processing efficiencies. They were really good. We had four compressors installed for the wet mill and pallet room and it's been a really smooth install. There’s been no downtime and it's proving really efficient energy-wise. Should you need them for back-up or breakdown PSL Total Air is really responsive too.”

Mill Manager, SRS Sawmills, Rolleston
“PSL Total Air is our one-stop shop for all our compressed air and vacuum needs. We changed to them from another company who were over-servicing our existing compressor. It needed replacing and PSL gave us the best quote solution. They analysed our actual compressed air requirements to ensure they suggested the best compressor for the job. They installed it and it's been trouble-free ever since.”

Crop farmers and seed processors benefit from PSL Total Air know-how
“As a cropping and seed processing farm we have a lot of compressed air requirements. We have three large seed cleaning machines and an automated packing machine. This requires a constant and reliable compressor station and air dryer. We use various compressors around the farm for a variety of applications and we hire an additional compressor from PSL during harvest time. I’ve found them to be excellent. They know what they’re talking about.”

“I was the former maintenance manager with Anzco beef and lamb products processing plant. We used PSL Total Air as the main service providers and new installers of all our pneumatics, compressor and air dryer needs. They completely redid our airlines and installed a new compressor. I found them always good, easy to deal with and came up with good solutions.”

“We’re commercial vehicle spray painters so we need reliable air compressors to operate our air tools and spray painting guns. We had other compressor service people, but they didn’t service our compressor properly and it got ugly. So I called in Phil Tiplady from PSL Total Air south and they fitted out compressors and airlines and fittings throughout our massive two workshops. He’s a switched on man and It's been very good ever since.”
