What is an air compressor?

An air compressor is a machine designed to increase air pressure, transforming it into useful energy for various commercial and industrial applications. These devices are essential in a wide range of industries. In this guide we give you the keys to choosing the ideal industrial air compressor for you and your needs.

What is an air compressor used for and how does it work?

Air compressors are essential in a multitude of industrial sectors for applications such as spray painting, pneumatic tooling and machinery operation. They work by compressing air, reducing its volume and increasing its pressure.

How to choose the right compressor?

When selecting an air compressor, it is crucial to consider several factors that will ensure optimum efficiency and performance. These are:

  • Displaced air

The volume of air a compressor can displace per minute is a key factor. It must match the requirements of your pneumatic tools or equipment.

  • Tank size

The size of the tank determines how long the compressor can run before it needs to be recharged. The larger the tank size, the more cubic volume of air per minute can be generated, increasing the time of use. Therefore, if long tasks are to be performed, a compressor with a large tank size will be required.

  • Power

Motor power will influence the compressor's ability to maintain a constant pressure. A power of between 1.5 and 2 hp will allow small tasks such as painting, inflating, blowing or cleaning to be carried out. Increasing the power to between 2 and 4 hp will allow more demanding jobs to be carried out. Power in excess of 4CV is required for industrial work requiring high power.

  • Pressure

The maximum pressure that a compressor can generate is a crucial aspect, it refers to the pressure that the tank can put in. Make sure it is compatible with the tools and equipment you will be using. If it is less than 10 bar, it will be very useful for simple tasks such as painting or attaching a pneumatic stapler. If it is higher than 10 bar, it will be able to perform any task, it is more versatile.

Which compressor to buy for which application?

The compressor depends on what you are going to use it for. We classify it according to its use: uses of a compressor

- Occasional use/bricolage

If you need a compressor only for occasional use or less demanding applications, such as stapling, nailing, inflation or general DIY tasks, direct drive technology will probably be the solution. In this case we recommend CD 251 or CD 226.

- Semi-professional

For applications requiring more regular or intensive use for professional applications, our single-stage models with belt drive are the best choice. These compressors are ideal for painting, impact wrench, spray gun or blow gun tightening and many other (low intensity) applications. Recommended Compressors CDV 350 and clinic 250

- Professional or industrial use

In high-demand industrial operations such as wood sanding, stripping, gravity gun, grinder etc., a powerful compressor with a large tank is needed to ensure a constant air supply. Two-stage models are the best choice. (Clinic and SNV). These two-stage compressors offer higher air displacement and pressure up to 15 bar. Our compressors are marked with these icons so that you know which type of use is appropriate:
