An industrial air compressor is a machine that converts power coming from either a gasoline engine or an electric motor into compressed air form. There are many types of industrial air compressor for many types of industries and applications; here are some of the most common ones.

Types of Industrial Air Compressor:

• Lubricated Rotary Screw Air Compressor - A lubricated rotary screw model is relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to oil-free counterparts, and can handle much larger air compression projects than many other available types.
• Reciprocating Piston Air Compressor – Reciprocating piston machines are a very common purchase for industrial use. This is because this type of compressor is fairly easy to maintain and as a result, is one of our most reliable product types.
• Oil-Free Rotary Air Compressors – 2HP to 500HP – Oil-free air compressor systems are quiet machines with low maintenance costs, which is something that a lot of industries can support! Without oil, these machines are reliable and inexpensive in the long run. These low-maintenance types of air compressor see common use in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, electronics and textile industries.
