Understanding the Basics: What Is an Air Compressor?

In its simplest form, an air compressor is a device that converts power into potential energy stored in compressed air. It can be powered by electric motors, diesel, or gasoline engines. The pressurized air is then used to power various tools and equipment.

Rotary Screw Compressors: The Workhorse of Florida Industries

When businesses in Florida seek reliability and efficiency, many turn to rotary screw compressors. These machines utilize two meshed rotating helical screws, known as rotors, to compress the air. They're renowned for their durability and are a staple in many industries, from construction to manufacturing.

Piston or Reciprocating Compressors: Georgia's Favorite for Lighter Loads

Widely used in Georgia's smaller workshops and garages, piston compressors or reciprocating compressors use pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver air at high pressure. They might be smaller, but they pack a punch and can be found helping power a wide variety of tools.

Centrifugal Compressors: Handling the Heavy-Duty Tasks

For those tasks that require a little more muscle, centrifugal compressors are the go-to choice. Using high-speed impellers to accelerate air, these compressors are best suited for large-scale applications where vast amounts of compressed air are required.

Making the Right Choice: Factors to Consider
