Industrial Air Compressors


Industrial Air Compressors are compressors for industrial and commercial applications. These have the ability to function for prolonged periods of time due to their increased durability and strength. These are usually oil lubricated and the oil needs to be changed regularly to ensure proper and efficient functioning at all times. As oil has a much lower friction as compared to other mediums, these compressors have good thermal conductivity and are much more efficient.

These compressors have aluminum components, which are lightweight, non corrosive and have better heat dissipation though the pump requires regular oiling and maintenance. They last longer and are also quieter as compared to other compressors.
