Industrial Air Compressors: Sales, Service and Repair

• 

  Match the industrial air compressor to your duty cycle

  Duty cycle is the first filter. If your plant draws air most of every hour, a rotary screw compressor is built for that continuous load, and Sullair ShopTek units cover 5 to 100 hp. Piston compressors fit intermittent shop work where the machine can rest between demands. For large, steady base loads, oil free centrifugal compressors move high volumes of air. Matching the machine to how you really use air protects both uptime and the power bill.

  Size it by CFM and PSI before horsepower

  Size an industrial compressor by flow and pressure, not motor size. Add up the CFM of every tool and machine that can run at the same time, add roughly 30 percent headroom, and confirm the pressure your most demanding process needs. Horsepower follows from those two numbers. Our free CFM calculator gives a first estimate in a minute, and an engineer confirms it, ideally against a compressed air audit of your system.

• Choose oil free or lubricated compressed air

  If compressed air touches food, drugs, medical devices or people, specify an oil free compressor rated ISO 8573-1 Class 0. Sullair DSP dry screw compressors cover 30 to 300 hp, and SRL scroll compressors cover 2 to 44 hp for labs and smaller loads. For general manufacturing, a modern lubricated rotary screw with the right filtration meets most air quality specs at a lower cost. See oil free, medical and breathing air options.

• Fixed speed or variable speed drive (VSD)

  A fixed speed compressor runs at full output and suits a steady base load. A variable speed drive compressor speeds up and slows down with demand, which saves energy in plants where air use swings from shift to shift. Many systems pair one of each. Run the energy cost calculator with your horsepower, load and hours to compare running costs before you buy.
• 

  Plan the whole compressed air system, not just the compressor

  A compressor is one part of a system. Refrigerated and desiccant air dryers, filters and condensate drains keep moisture and oil out of the line. Leak-free piping and air knives put air where it is needed, industrial chillers prevent overheating, and Sullair and ICP lubricants keep the machine running. We supply and service the whole system, so the air at the point of use is as clean and dry as your process needs.

  Specialized compressors for medical, high pressure and nitrogen

  Healthcare facilities need medical grade air, and our medical air compressors from Powerex and Sullair are built for it. When a process needs more pressure than plant air provides, booster and high pressure compressors serve laser cutting, gas recovery and manufacturing. On-site nitrogen generators make nitrogen from compressed air, so you can stop relying on delivered cylinders.
