Industrial Air Compressors

Determining the right size air compressor for your facility will depend on various factors. Here are some factors to consider:

• Air demand: Evaluate the total air demand of your facility. This includes understanding the air requirements of all the tools and equipment that rely on compressed air. 
• Pressure requirements: Different tools and processes require different air pressure levels, typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). Ensure the compressor you purchase can deliver the highest PSI your tools require.
• Duty cycle: Consider how often and for how long the compressor will be running. Continuous use demands a more robust compressor compared to one used intermittently.
• Energy efficiency: A large industrial air compressor can be more energy-efficient for big jobs, but an oversized compressor for your needs can lead to unnecessary energy use and increased costs.
• Future expansion: If you anticipate growth or increased air demand in the future, it‘s a good idea to choose a compressor that can accommodate that growth.

The primary difference between an oil-free and an oil-flooded (or oil-lubricated) air compressor lies in the lubrication process, and the resulting air quality each produces.

Oil-free compressors, which do not use oil for lubrication, are ideal for industries requiring pure air, such as food processing and healthcare, due to the absence of oil contamination. They typically require less maintenance related to oil but may experience higher wear on non-lubricated parts and are less energy-efficient.

In contrast, oil-flooded compressors use oil in the compression chamber for lubrication, cooling, and sealing, making them more energy-efficient and cooler-running but necessitating regular maintenance for oil changes.

As a general guideline, standard oil should be changed every 2,000 to 4,000 operating hours to maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your oil-flooded air compressor. In demanding conditions, such as extreme temperatures or dusty environments, more frequent oil changes may be necessary. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and routinely monitor oil levels and quality.
