Classifying Air Compressors Based on Their Capacities




Air compressors have a number of applications both at home or in businesses to get things done effectively. The pressurized air that comes from industrial air compressors has multiple uses that to list them all would be so lengthy. These machines are available in various types and different applications demand different types of air compressors. While they come in different sizes and power supply, most of them are made in two major designs. These are rotary screw air compressors and reciprocating piston air compressors. Within each design, there are many models providing a wide selection.


They range from low pressurized air in smaller tanks to supply car tires to powerful industrial air compressors that are able to supply huge facilities with reliable air for daily operations. If you are working in an industrial environment, most likely you are familiar with the most common types of air compressors. However, a plethora of other variations is also available in varied designs. Their tanks can be horizontal or vertical and can come either in a single cylinder or double cylinders. Some are stationary while others can be moved through wheels. Depending on how they are to be used, air compressors can be classified into three groups - industrial, commercial, and consumer-grade.


Industrial air compressors are the workhorse in manufacturing facilities. They are designed and built using top quality parts that enable customization to meet certain environmental conditions to enhance performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. Unlike other compressors, they are capable of providing a consistent and reliable flow of compressed air for longer periods of time. Professional-grade units are able to provide compressed air to run multiple pneumatic tools at once with intermittent use. They can also be made with a two-stage rotary screw or reciprocating compressor type. Lastly, a consumer-grade air compressor is used in homes where smaller projects need low pressurized air such as staplers and nail guns.
