Leasing and “pay with savings” projects (no initial purchase)
If you don’t want to make a direct purchase, at Install Beer we can structure the project with leasing and/or a pay-with-savings implementation model. The goal is to make rollout easier (HORECA, chains or producers) without tying up capital, accelerating payback.
- Leasing / monthly fee: includes the equipment (and, depending on the agreed scope, installation, commissioning, and maintenance).
- “No upfront investment” installation (subject to feasibility): we can propose a solution where implementation is offset by the savings generated (for example, reduced CO₂ consumption for service/utilities and operational/energy optimization) over an agreed period.
- “Share the savings” model: we define a baseline (current situation) and measure metrics (CO₂, kWh, incidents) to calculate the savings and apply a transparent payment scheme.
How we calculate it: we carry out an initial audit (points of use, flow/pressure, peaks, current CO₂ setup, power consumption, incidents and maintenance). With that data we prepare a TCO report and a pilot plan (usually 3–4 weeks) to validate results.
Note: renting or “pay with savings” conditions depend on the type of project, volume, duration, location and validation via audit/pilot. References to “tax savings” will be assessed case by case and may depend on applicable regulations and the client’s tax/accounting treatment; this does not constitute tax advice. We help you prepare the data so your advisor can validate it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Answers to guide your choice. To see specific units and buy, visit the Dürr Technik collection.
Does the compressed air come into contact with the beverage?
In configurations with pneumatic pumps, the air is used to drive the pump. It does not run through the beverage line: the beverage keeps its own independent circuit.
What does “oil-free compressor” mean and why does it matter?
“Oil-free” means that compression takes place without oil lubrication in the chamber, helping to achieve cleaner air for sensitive and professional applications.
What data do you need to size it correctly?
Application (beer/post-mix), number of pumps (and model if you know it), peak-hour consumption (l/min or liters/h), target pressure, line length/diameter, equipment location, ventilation/environment, and priority (noise / continuity / drying).
Why is it so important to size for the “peak” (rush hour)?
Because the compressor must sustain the maximum flow rate when demand is highest. If it’s sized for the average, you can get performance drops or irregular service at critical moments.
When is a station with a receiver tank the right choice?
When there are consumption peaks, several pumps running at the same time, or when greater stability of the air supply is required. The receiver tank helps buffer demand and improve service continuity.
When does it make sense to add drying (membrane dryer)?
When you need drier/more stable air or the environment is humid/variable. Common in demanding installations or where continuity is critical.
What maintenance does a compressed air system for beverages require?
It depends on use and environment. It usually includes functional inspections, pressure/stability checks and filtration control. At Install Beer we can propose a preventive plan tailored to your service volume.
Is it suitable for installations with long-draw lines?
Yes. This is a typical case where service stability is a priority, especially when combined with pneumatic pumps and a properly sized system.
What about noise? Can it be installed in customer areas?
Yes, in many cases it’s completely feasible. We recommend placing the equipment in a technical room or ventilated area and choosing the right solution if low noise is the priority.
Can I replace CO₂ with compressed air?
It depends on the system and the goal (pumps, gas mixing, beverage style and configuration). We’ll advise you to define which part can be covered with air and which part must remain with CO₂/N₂ in each case.
Do you offer installation and technical support in Spain?
Yes. At Install Beer we offer sales, installation, commissioning and technical support, as well as preventive and corrective maintenance.
Do you have spare parts and consumables?
Yes. We can supply consumables and spare parts linked to the installed solution (filtration/accessories according to configuration). Tell us the model so we can recommend the correct reference.
What is the most common mistake when choosing a compressor for pumps?
Undersizing (not considering the real peak), or choosing without taking the whole system into account: tank, drying, filtration, location and installation quality. That’s why we recommend a prior technical study.
Can you recommend a complete solution (equipment + accessories + installation)?
Yes. We design the complete solution: equipment, accessories, installation, commissioning and, where applicable, a maintenance plan. Write to us with your case and we’ll propose options.
