Piston Compressors.
Economical, robust and easily repaired compressed air for workshops with intermittent demand.
When Is a Piston Compressor the Right Choice?
A piston compressor is a positive-displacement machine that compresses air with a crankshaft-driven piston and cylinder. Its simple, robust construction, low initial cost and straightforward repair still make it the most sensible solution for intermittent use.
It suits operations that do not use air continuously through the day: vehicle repair and paint shops, joineries, tyre fitters and small workshops. The machine needs rest periods; running it under continuous load leads to overheating and early failure.
- Low initial investment
- Simple construction, easy and inexpensive repair
- Flexible installation with a wide range of tank sizes

Frequently Asked <span class="text-primary">Questions.</span>
Can a piston compressor run continuously? expand_more
No. Piston machines are designed for intermittent duty and should typically not exceed a 50-60% duty cycle. For uninterrupted air demand, a screw compressor is the right choice.
How do I choose the tank size? expand_more
The receiver damps pressure fluctuations and stops the motor cutting in too often. At the same power rating, a larger tank means fewer load/unload cycles and a longer motor life.
What does maintenance involve? expand_more
The essentials are checking and changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, draining condensate from the tank, checking belt tension and verifying the safety valve.
