FAQ
Lone Star is far more than just a rental company. Lone Star is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of the equipment we rent but can also overhaul and provide parts and services for many other brand blowers and compressors. We also build control systems either standard design or custom made to order.
Absolutely yes, besides providing a fast rentals, Lone Star can overhaul and repair your existing equipment offering a turn key service to get our customers up and running.
YES! Air, Gas, Pressure and Vacuum Service. We have a vast rental fleet that can be used for Air applications for many processes including aeration processes in waste water treatment plants, furnaces, industrial applications, or for gas applications including but not limited to landfill gas, methane, oxygen, carbon dioxide CO2, sour gas, nitrogen. We also rent blowers and compressors for special applications custom built for specific use that can include after coolers, controls, and integration with the customer Scada system.
Yes, any of our blowers can be used in pressure or in vacuum applications. Lone Star will send detailed performance curves to customer site conditions to make sure the rentals will work in your application.
Yes all rentals are 100% oil free. In all cases our rental blowers and compressors are considered oil free as there is no connection between the lubricated bearings and the parts of the blower where the air or gas is being processed through. These blowers can be used or integrated in food plants and are considered as food grade, used in pure oxygen applications and other applications where the contamination with oil and/or grease could be catastrophic.
Startup is recommended in all of our rental proposals, and is mandatory that we provide our technicians for any blower that are larger than 200 hp. Beside our field service group of over 15 qualified technicians, we will also provide online support that is available 24/7 via our emergency line. Before shipping all the control panels, soft starters, variable drives (VFD) are preprogrammed based on the customer application and information provided. Any changes and fine tuning can be either done by the customer or we can send the required expertise to assist with it.
Our equipment is designed and programmed to be considered as plug and play in most applications. However, most installations require pre planning and a deployment plan for best success. Lone Star applications group will assist with proper planning and set up.. Smaller rental units (boxed units) are completely plug and play and require minimal adjustments. The units are shipped with instructions for assembly, operating manuals, programming manuals and parameters lists so that the customer can refer to the them during the installation process. Every site needs a carefully planned deployment plan for optimum success.
Rental blower comes with various control options and should be discussed prior to deployment. Detailed information about the intended process is key. See typical setups below:
Setup 1 – Soft starter with control valves – The basic setup and the most commonly used is a soft starter RVSS that comes either skid mounted with the blower or on a separate skid as needed by the customer. Flow control is achieved via throttling the inlet valve (included with the package). All soft starters come pre programmed and have an HMI keypad. This requires minimal skill to use and is a very reliable setup.
Setup 2 – Variable Drive (VFD) Speed control – This setup is ideal where efficiency and wider adjustments is a priority in some applications. The speed control is done via the HMI keypad that is provide with the panel. The VFD is either built in on the package or comes shipped on a separate skid. This setup typically requires a minimal to medium skill by the end user.
Setup 3 – Local Control Panel – standalone system – For long term rentals we provide a large Human Machine Interface (HMI) panels and Local Control panel, LCP, S-LOC, that provides a higher level of controls and monitoring of the rental equipment. The HMI panel makes it a very user friendly setup and provides better reporting on the health of the blower.
Setup 4 – Local Control panel – integrated with customer Scada or 3rd party control system – We want that the rental equipment can operate in the same way as your permanent blowers Our S-Loc control panels our fully integrate able with any 3rd party system. Our in house team of programming and control engineers will assist the customer to integrate in part or in full our control system with the customer plant management system. For long term rentals we also offer the option to custom setup the entire control panel.
