Air Compressor
See All Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my air compressor?
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. Most air compressors, operating 24/7, require inspections, minor and major service every 2000 operating hours, or at 3 months, whichever arrives sooner. Low duty systems are typically serviced annually, or semi-annually, depending on the environment they operate in, and the hours they run for. Need advice, or guidance, thats what we specialize in, and “discovery calls” are at no charge.
What size air compressor do I need?
The size depends on your specific application. Our team can help you calculate your compressed air requirements and recommend the right size.
What's the difference between a rotary screw compressor and a piston compressor?
Rotary screw compressors are designed for continuous use, when low sound levels are necessary. Reciprocating piston compressors are better suited for intermittent use, in smaller applications, such as automotive service shops. The price of a piston machine is approximately 15, to 20% less than an equivalent rotary screw machine, and the noise levels can be 15 to 20 dB(A) louder too.
Do I need an air dryer with my compressor?
An air dryer is highly recommended to remove moisture from your compressed air, which can affect your finished product, and damage your air tools and equipment.
