An industrial air compressor is a powerful compressor that is most often used for heavy duty tasks. For this reason, they are most commonly used in the manufacturing industry but in many other industries such as oil & gas and water treatment. You may have even noticed these big, powerful compressors powering your favourite rides at theme parks!

They need to be big because they are incredibly powerful. Indeed, there are a lot of components needed to produce such powerful air including a tank (or tanks) in which the air is stored, cooling fans, various valves and filters and control panels.

Variable speed compressors will monitor the tasks you are performing and adjust the air pressure accordingly so that you are not operating at higher levels than are needed. It also shuts down when inactive, which is very energy efficient.

One of the biggest bonuses of the variable speed industrial compressor is that because of it is efficient at saving energy, it’s also efficient at saving money on your energy bills. In fact, we’ve installed these compressors for businesses that have gone on to save over £1,000 on their energy bill!
