How to Choose the Right Air Compressor in 6 Simple Steps
Air compressors are versatile machines and perform a variety of tasks when attached to pneumatic tools. They produce more torque and power and last longer since their moving parts are fewer, when compared to electric power tools. They have many applications, types and capacities, which can be confusing if you are not familiar with the world of compressors! At Compressor World, we want customers to be able to clearly understand products before they make any decisions. So, here is a
4 Types of Rotary Screw Compressors That Actually Add Value
Rotary screw air compressors are one of the most commonly used type of air compressor in industries today. A cornerstone of the manufacturing world, rotary screw compressors come in two basic kinds, oil-injected and oil-free. In oil-injected rotary screw compressors oil is injected into the screw unit when compression takes place, and later the oil is siphoned out by an oil separator. There is a miniscule amount of oil carryover, or oil that is passed through the machine along with
Using Oilless Scroll Air Compressors
Who uses Oilless Scroll Air Compressors? What is a oilless scroll air compressor? A scroll air compressor is a compressor that generates air by using two teflon coated plates, separated with a tip seal. These plates bring atmospheric air and pressurize the air to system pressure of 50-145 PSIG. Typically, their are two pumps, a low pressure (115 psi) and high pressure pump (145 psi). Where are oilless scroll air compressors installed? Scroll pumps are used for a variety of
Air Compressors with Air Dryer
The internet has made buying air compressor equipment very easy. The key is understanding which system to buy. Challenge the team of experts, ask them why the integrated air dryer is better than a separate standing dryer. Ask if you can have a internal bypass installed within the cabinet of the compressor. Ask the compressor manufacturer to give you the cost of a replacement dryer and lead time. Integrated air dryers have a purpose and do save space but they
Air Compressors and How They Work
The practice of workshops using a central power source for driving tools isn’t new. Over the years, what’s changed though, is the use of air compressors in place of the belts and shafts that were driven mechanically to route power around the workspace. The underlying physics remains the same, i.e., when a certain volume of gas increases within an enclosure, the pressure increases, thereby producing power. Modern day air compressors are compact, portable and efficient, and are available in a
