Air compressors can be found in a variety of applications, but are most often found in industrial applications and sometimes references as commercial air compressors.

Let’s explore the seven most common uses for industrial applications to better understand their benefits.

Construction Applications

Compressed air is the primary energy source for pneumatic tools and machinery is favored because it provides a reliable, highly-efficient output that can power a variety of tools often used in construction applications. Most frequently, these will be portable and towable compressors.

In comparison to electric tools, air-powered tools are much lighter, safer, and easier to maintain. All that’s needed is a single air compressor to power your tools rather than a separate power source for each.

• More power
• More versatile
• Greater torque and RPM
• Easily interchangeable

Manufacturing Applications

Air compressors play a huge role in optimizing assembly lines and making quality products. They are critical within four aspects of the assembly process: clamping, stamping, handling controls, and tool powering.

Agriculture Applications

As discussed in other blogs, modern air compressors have become an important part of several agricultural processes.

From sprayers to automated milking systems, compressors assist in everything from irrigation line winterization to preventing critical pieces of equipment from freezing or being damaged.

HVAC Applications

A common use for industrial air compressors rests in HVAC systems, responsible for ventilating and controlling climates in buildings. Compressors raise the temperature of a system and the resulting gas enters the condenser, where cooling begins.

Energy Applications

Similar to how compressors transport grain into silos, the energy sector makes frequent use of compressors in drilling rigs, pipeline operations, and petroleum refineries to create the fossil fuels used in other sectors.

Pressure Washing Applications

In order to create pressure needed for washing, compressors pump water at extremely high velocity. They are the only method that allows effective stain and grease removal for a thorough clean.

Automotive Applications

Aside from manufacturing vehicles, compressors are used in cars to help combustion engines heat and cool properly. Auto shops also use rotary screw compressors for tire inflation and other services.
