Air Compressor Components

The pressure switch or pressure transducer on your compressor monitors the pressure in your compressed air system. Horizontal Air Receivers, as well as Vertical Air Receivers, act as a buffer, preventing rapid pressure fluctuations when your compressor cycles on and off. This reduces wear and tear on your compressor, extending its lifespan.

As compressed air cools within the receiver, condensation forms. The horizontal design allows for better air-to-metal contact, maximizing condensate collection. A properly drained receiver ensures clean, dry air for your tools and equipment.

Air needs can fluctuate. A horizontal air receiver acts as a reserve, providing a surge of compressed air to meet temporary spikes in demand, preventing compressor overload.

Installing air receivers strategically (one before and one after your air dryer) reduces pressure fluctuations experienced by the dryer. This minimizes flooding and optimizes dryer performance.

– Choice and Flexibility: We offer a wide range of horizontal air receiver sizes and pressure ratings to suit your specific needs.
– Quality and Compliance: Our air receivers are manufactured according to international standards and meet all South African regulations.
