How Does it Help?
Lower Water Consumption
Using air reduces the need for water usage.
Cost Effective
Air-cooled machines are easier to maintain because they have fewer moving parts and no water pump.
Commonly Used
Most operators know how to use them and technicians know how to repair and maintain them.
