Air Compressors

FULL RANGE

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.

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
