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.
Who makes Kaeser air compressors?
Kaeser air compressors are manufactured by Kaeser Kompressoren, a family owned German-based company with a long-standing reputation for engineering high-quality, reliable compressed air systems. Kaeser is known worldwide for its innovation, energy efficiency, and robust solutions tailored to various industrial applications.
How long does a Kaeser air compressor last?
With proper maintenance, a Kaeser air compressor can last 15 to 20 years or more. Kaeser compressed air solutions are designed for durability, featuring high-quality components and engineering that ensure a long operational lifespan. Regular servicing and adherence to maintenance schedules will help maximize the lifespan of your compressor.
How does the heat of a compression dryer work?
When rotary screws rotate they create massive amounts of heat. This heat can be captured and diverted to a cylinder, where wet compressed air exchanges with the heat to lower the water content and pressure dewpoint of compressed air.
The ultimate guide on rightsizing your compressed air system
Choosing the right compressed air system is crucial to minimize the total cost of ownership. How do you calculate the air demand in flow rate (CFM) and pressure (PSIG), what's the power requirement (V), and how does that translate in a compressed air system with one or more compressors (hp)?
