Over the past 200 years, industrialists have found ways to turn raw materials into products. At refineries, employees use these processes to convert natural oils into products that fuel vehicles and add stability to medicines, lotions and foods. The processes that turn oil from the ground into fuel for a vehicle consist of complex steps […]

In a reciprocating air compressor, the valves are one of the most significant parts in the regulation and flow of pressurized air. When a valve is in optimal condition and performs according to plan, compressed air is distributed evenly and effectively for numerous processes. If a valve becomes faulty, however, the system lags and processes […]

Compressed air is often referred to as the fourth utility in manufacturing. Despite its importance in a vast range of industrial processes, however, it’s largely misunderstood among many parties, including those who directly use compressors. Depending on the type of facility, air compressors could be responsible for much more than a simple set of pneumatic […]

Compressed air serves numerous industrial and personal functions. As the fourth utility in industry, compressed air is largely responsible for the assembly of appliances and automobiles. Most of the furniture and vehicles you see each day are the result of air-powered arms and pneumatic fasteners along conveyor belts. Pressurized air is also largely responsible for […]

Any industry that uses compressed air is subject to inefficiency. This is because air compressors inherently consume a lot of energy just to produce the air, and once produced, employees tend to misuse it. It’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling like compressed air is free, but unfortunately, as anyone reviewing your electricity […]

As nations outside the G8 develop local industries to compete regionally and internationally, the use of air compressors is rapidly spreading throughout the Far and Middle East, as well as through much of the Southern Hemisphere. Over the next decade, these territories could quickly become the hottest markets for manufacturers of air compressors. Compared to […]

Choosing an air compressor is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. In addition to selecting the right type — piston or rotary screw, electric or gas-powered, portable or stationary, single vs. two-stage — it’s also important to determine the most appropriate air compressor size to properly power your pneumatic tools. To select the proper air compressor size, […]
