We offer everything from powerful screw and piston compressors to complete air treatment systems, including dryers and filters, suitable for any workshop or industrial facility. Find reliable solutions to power your tools and processes efficiently.

Key Purchasing Considerations for Used Pneumatic Equipment

• Operating Hours: Check the total running hours of the compressor, as this indicates the level of wear on key components like the air-end.
• Air Quality: Inquire about the filtration and drying systems to ensure the compressed air meets the quality standards required for your applications (e.g., ISO 8573-1).
• Maintenance Records: A full service history is crucial for assessing the condition of the compressor and anticipating future maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Air Compressors

What's the difference between a screw compressor and a piston compressor?

Screw compressors are designed for continuous operation and deliver a steady, non-pulsating airflow, making them ideal for industrial applications. Piston (or reciprocating) compressors are better suited for intermittent use and are common in smaller workshops, offering a lower initial cost but typically being louder and requiring more maintenance.

How do I determine the right size compressor for my needs?

To size a compressor, you need to calculate the total air consumption (in CFM or m³/min) of all your tools and equipment that will run simultaneously. Then, add a buffer of about 25-30% to account for future growth and pressure drops. Also, ensure the compressor's pressure rating (PSI or bar) meets the requirements of your most demanding tool.
