Air Receiver Tanks
Investing in an air receiver tank is a wise best practice. The tank increases system storage, slows the velocity of compressed air traveling through the pipework and assists with moisture removal and pressure equalisation. When a compressor switches from load to idle, it reduces the amount of power being consumed by its electric motor. Therefore an air receiver tank is a one time purchase, requiring little, or no maintenance and producing an excellent ROI. This should always be the target, which is why we always say “you can never have enough storage.”
In addition, the tank acts as a buffer for the compressor’s control valving. This prevents rapid cycling and premature wear and tear of valves inside the machine, which, in turn, reduces maintenance costs.
The tank also slows the velocity of air and creates a cyclonic motion as the air passes through it. This reduces the oil/water condensate load on all downstream clean air treatment filters and dryers, further reducing filter and other maintenance costs.

The system
Air Receiver tanks are an important piece of any compressed air system. Creating storage provides multiple benefits, from moisture removal, pressure equalisation and energy conservation. In a perfect world, installing both wet, (upstream of clean air treatment), and dry, (downstream of clean air treatment) storage tanks is a best practice.

How it works
Our tried-and-tested approach to get you a reliable compressed air solution at the lowest possible cost of ownership looks like this:
Discovery call
Our solutions specialist visits your facility to discuss your current situation, pain points, future plans, and potential government incentives. We can undertake as little, or as much, of your project as you would like.
Requirement analysis
We analyze the equipment at your facility, its performance, condition, and suitability. We ensure that storage, piping, and compressed air quality are in line with your requirements and best practices.
Turnkey installation
Everything we do is “in house.” Air audits, leak detection, design, build, and service are handled quickly and efficiently.This approach means that we manage every aspect of your project, avoiding finger pointing and single source supply for you and your organization.
Maintenance and repair

Tanks
Horizontal and Vertical air receiver storage tanks are available, with the most common sizes kept in stock at our Hamilton warehouse.
Boosters
When compressed air or gas applications require higher pressure than a “standard” air compressor can produce, high pressure booster compressors are an economical and effective solution.
Accessories
Whatever it is you're looking for, our accessories range from the gauges and valves in the compressor room, all the way through to the hoses and blow guns at the points of use.
Compressors
Our range of air compressors includes reciprocating piston, oil free, and oil injected rotary screw air compressors, from 3hp up to 660hp, and everything in between. If you do not know what you are looking for, we can assist with that too.
Condensate Management
Disposing of the compressed air oil/water condensate bi product, created by your compressor station, carries big legal, and environmental responsibilities. The person knowingly discharging oil to drain, is responsible.
