Use of compressors — compressor-related activities
Air compressors are widely used for numerous amateur, semi-professional, professional, and industrial applications.
DIY enthusiasts and small to medium-sized businesses typically use reciprocating piston air compressors, which operate similarly to internal combustion engines. The piston moves inside the cylinder, first creating a vacuum to draw in air, then generating overpressure to compress the air by reducing its volume within the cylinder chamber. Powered by electic or petrol/diesel motors, piston compressors are often portable or mobile, which makes them ideal for construction sites, repair tasks, car services, and a variety of other jobs.
More demanding industrial — and sometimes professional — applications require more powerful rotary screw compressors to ensure continuous and quiet compressed air production. As a reliable, non-heat-producing power source, these high-performance machines are widely used in manufacturing, energy exploration, agriculture, the food and beverage industry, construction, dry cleaning, the medical and pharmaceutical industries, etc. For more information about the industrial uses of screw compressors, click here.
