With rotary screw air compressors, air passes into a sealed chamber where it is trapped between two screws (rotors) turning in opposite directions, which reduces its volume and increasing the pressure to the desired level.

Having an air compressor in your home workshop and pneumatic tools to use with it makes for easier work. Compressor-powered tools are lighter because they do not require a motor in order to operate.

Many compressors have a safety shutdown feature that will turn the compressor off when the temperature gets too high or the oil level too low. As part of regular maintenance, it’s a good idea to test this function. Not sure how to do it? We can help.

Electric air compressors are compact and convenient power generators that offer the benefit of easy setup and operation. Popular in the industrial sector, electric air compressors are lightweight yet, for their size and weight, very powerful.

When your trusty air compressor springs a pinhole leak, it’s time to think about finding a replacement. In most instances, pinhole leaks indicate the tank is beginning to fail due to metal fatigue, internal corrosion, or both.

Air compressors are now a common feature in dentists’ offices, but it wasn’t always that way. For a long time, drills and other tools were powered by complicated systems of belts. The dentist had to pedal to spin them while trying to guide the drill at the same time.

Have you not been getting the amount of power you’re used to from your compressor? That doesn’t mean you need a new one. Our compressor experts will be able to go over your compressor from top to bottom to find any problems.

If you need a sturdy compressor you can move around the shop or transport from one location to another, consider a wheelbarrow configuration. These units feature sturdy wheels and handles, which makes them more portable.

Air tank size leads to many common misconceptions. While a large tank can deliver brief surges of capacity, it’s the size and power of the compressor that matters most, because it runs the tools.

Did you know that if you took two empty cans of identical size shape and weight, and filled one with compressed air, that the compressed air can would weigh more than the other? This is because compressed air is richer than normal atmospheric air.

Modern pneumatic devices got their birth in the Alps in the 1860s. Engineers were building a tunnel through the Alps from France to Italy. After a couple years of manual drills, they began using pneumatic drills using compressors that used water to cool air in the tanks.

In order to determine what tools can be operated with a particular air compressor, you will need to know both the air pressure the compressor provides (measured as psi), and the rate at which it can be delivered (measured as cfm).

Did you know that over 50 percent of the world's manufacturing facilities use air compressors on a daily basis? Usage is similar across Europe, and over 70 percent of all Australian manufacturing facilities use air compressors because they are so efficient and reliable.
