Air Compressors
Airpower builds and repairs all our air compressors & rotary screw compressors to the highest engineering standards. All air compressors are pre-delivered, serviced, and run for a prescribed test period, before shipment or delivery. The results are that Airpower hardly ever gets a guarantee claim. In the unlikely event of a guarantee claim, Airpower investigates the problem and if possible, change our designs, to eliminate similar problems in future models.
Electric Air Compressors:
Range from 0.5 kW to 22 kW electric motors. Reservoir capacities up to 2000 litres. All Airpower piston air compressor 3 Phase units, up and including 7.5 kW is supplied with Direct Online Starters included in the price. Larger units (11 and 15kW) are supplied with Star/Delta starters included in the price. Airpower also offers units with high/ low voltage and phase failure protection as well as electronic overload and rotation protection. Low oil level protection is also available.
Petrol Air Compressors:
Petrol Air Compressors drive from 5 hp up to 30 hp petrol engines and 6.7 hp up to 13 hp diesel engines. These are used extensively in the tire industry as well as by emergency services. Airpower also supplies these gasoline-driven units as standby units for factories, when there is an electrical power disruption
Diesel Air Compressors:
Compressors drive from 5 hp up to 30 hp petrol engines and 6.7 hp up to 13 hp diesel engines.
Custom Build Air Compressors:
The Airpower piston compressors are guaranteed for one year, or 3000 hours (for models with hour meters), from the date of purchase, for normal wear and tear, and unlimited on any defective material quality or workmanship. This guarantee is also valid for 24 hours per day of industrial operation. This guarantee is not valid if the machine is used outside specifications or abused. Units with high/low voltage and phase failure protection are also electrically guaranteed for one year. Filter elements and oil are excluded from this guarantee.
Screw Air Compressors:
The Airpower screw compressors are guaranteed for one year, from the date of purchase, for normal wear and tear and unlimited on any defective material quality or workmanship. This guarantee is also valid for 24 hours per day of industrial operation. This guarantee is not valid if the machine is used outside specifications or abused. Filter elements and oil are excluded from this guarantee. The air end bearings are guaranteed for 9000 running hours.
Compressor Components:
Airpower keeps universal spare parts for compressors. Pressure switches, non-return valves, and safety valves are universal to all compressors. Bottom entry filter/ regulators, electric motors, and starters can be used for many makes of compressors.
Why you should buy the correct air compressor for your application?
We are in the fourth industrial revolution. If you do not automate your production, you are lost. Automation is done by electricity, electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics. Normally a combination of these in one process. The hart of the pneumatic automation, is your compressor. If your compressor is too small, your production will be less than what could have been produced with the correct size compressor. If your compressor is not working, your production comes to a standstill.
How do you select the correct air compressor?
The volume of air required is the most important figure. It is measured in liter/min or m3 per hour or cfm (cubic feet per min). Let the Airpower engineers calculate the air consumption for you. We take the guesswork out of the equation.
The second important figure is the pressure required to operate your factory. It is measured in kPa, Bar, or psi.
Your duty cycle is also very important. You are not going to buy an expensive 100% duty cycle machine if you are going to use it for a few minutes per day. You are also not going to buy a DIY compressor for a 100% duty cycle. The Airpower engineers will advise you here.
Refrigerated Dryers
Refrigerated air dryers from 750 liters/min up to 17000 liter/min ex-stock. Larger ex overseas. Dew point 4°C under pressure. Automatic drain pre and manual drain after filters.
Screw Compressors
Screw compressors have no valves or other mechanical forces to cause imbalances unlike piston compressors.
