Air compressors play a pivotal role across a spectrum of industries, with their breakdown leading to significant operational hurdles and financial costs. Regular air compressor maintenance is therefore crucial to avoid unexpected failures. Identifying early signs of air compressor problems can prevent downtime, saving both time and money. Understanding Your…
It is important to understand the differences between belt drive and direct drive air compressors. Using the right compressor will optimise the performance of air-powered or pneumatic tools and save you energy and money. Belt drive and direct drive air compressors are commonly used types of rotary screw compressors. Factors…
Air compressors are some of the most versatile equipment we have today. Compressors are used in HVAC systems, paint shops, pneumatic nail guns, and a host of industrial applications. They come in a wide range of sizes, performance specs, and use-case designs. But even so, they are all fundamentally the…
Air compressor maintenance is essential in winter, as compressors tend to function less efficiently in colder temperatures. If the temperature drops below 5°C, this can cause a variety of problems, including frozen condensate and thickened compressor oil. If these issues are left unchecked, the performance of your compressor can suffer,…
An air compressor’s main function is to convert electric power into pressurised air. When air is compressed, it becomes stronger, making it useful for different workshop applications or to power tools. In an air compressor, air is stored under pressure. This compression creates energy which can be utilised to power…
Air dryers are a crucial, but often overlooked part of a compressed air system. Together with the filters, they remove moisture from compressed air to ensure pneumatic tools work efficiently. Without air dryers, air powered tools are sluggish and can suffer premature wear and tear. But there’s no one fit…
Compressed air leaks are a common issue and can become extremely costly for a business over time. For example, a leak in a compressor hose from a 9.5mm diameter hole can easily cost a business more than $15,000 annually in lost energy needed to compensate the reduced air pressure. As…
