JD Sports Compressed Air Installation

Focus Industrial recently partnered with JD Sports to provide a comprehensive compressed air solution at their Leppington, NSW distribution centre, supporting the automated packaging requirements of their high-volume retail operations. JD Sports needed a system that could handle the precise demands of their Swisslog automated system, which is essential for seamless packaging and dispatch. Focus Industrial’s engineering team designed and implemented an efficient, durable compressed air system tailored to these requirements.

The installation featured the SB250V – 18KW (25hp) Screw Compressor with a variable-speed drive, delivering a consistent 2500lpm at 10 Bar. This main compressor was complemented by the RDF216 refrigerant dryer, which removes moisture to ensure clean, dry air, safeguarding machinery and maintaining packaging quality. We also installed high-performance filtration units, including 1-micron and 0.01-micron filter housings, and a carbon element filter. These filters prevent dust, oil, and particulates from compromising the air quality or clogging JD Sports’ sensitive packaging machinery.

To further optimise system performance, we incorporated a 1000-litre vertical air receiver, which provides an air buffer, stabilises pressure, and improves compressor efficiency by reducing the load on the system during peak times. Additionally, we supplied a dedicated, smaller compressor package for JD Sports’ service area, featuring a 3HP scroll compressor on a 100-litre tank, an RDF021 dryer, and filtration. This setup ensures that secondary work areas receive consistent, high-quality air.

Our installation team completed a complex layout using 35mm 304-grade stainless steel piping, which guarantees 25 years of leak-free operation. The piping network extends under the conveyor system, connecting to five automatic bagging outlets, a carton erector, two carton lid stations, and three labelling machines, ensuring air availability at every point. Installation, pressure testing, and commissioning were completed within a week, allowing JD Sports to keep their operations running smoothly with minimal downtime.

This installation exemplifies Focus Industrial’s commitment to providing customised, high-efficiency compressed air solutions that enhance productivity. By delivering an optimised system with a durable, low-maintenance design, we’ve helped JD Sports support their growing distribution needs while controlling operational costs and reducing system strain over time.
