Compressed air is just the same air as we breathe only compressed to a smaller size and volume, and kept under pressure in a tank for use. The pressurized air creates a great force when used to power many pneumatic tools and machineries. Air compressors are the equipment used to perform the function of compressing air into usable form.

Portable air compressors, on the other hand, as the name implies can provide immediate supply of compressed air when you need it, where you need it because of its portability. Its relative smaller size allows easy transportability and becomes useful in the following industries:

        1. Construction

These compressors are very important equipment in construction sites for ease in operating many pneumatic tools like drill, jack, nail guns, riveting guns, etc. Its transportability allows you to move the equipment from one place to another within the job site, or from one job site to another. So, if you are into the construction business, it is wise to invest on this equipment, for greater and faster efficiency.

       2. Autobody Shops and Contractors

A car detailing shop, which does a lot of painting jobs and uses a lot of air to do it, will benefit from this equipment. A great asset to invest on and keep.

Home, farm buildings, and garage painting jobs can be done professionally and faster by using portable air compressors. You will cut the time spent in painting a whole building by simply attaching your spray painting gun to your compressor.

        3. Manufacturing Plants

Although large manufacturing plants will have permanent air compressors installed within their facilities, powerful portable air compressors serve as back up. 

         4. Pharmaceutical

This industry depends on these compressors for their packaging products, coating applications, and mixing tanks.

           5. Agriculture

Many farm chores are done outside of a building so farmers use these power tools in the field for crop spraying, to transport feed through conveyors, in material handling equipment and even as a dairy equipment. 

            6. Aquaculture

Raising fish in stocked ponds or backyard ponds need clean, circulating water with lots of oxygen for fish health. Air compressors can be used to operate a filtration system where compressed air is used to pump air from the bottom of the water up, causing the water to bubble and prevent algae growth. 

             7. Dental practice

A compressor is a valuable equipment for dental practice because it assures dentists of a consistent reliable supply of high-quality compressed air needed to power many handpieces and cleaners, especially in times of surgical procedures.

Did you know you can also use your air compressor to blow your workshop mess? For a quick and easy cleanup of your work area, you can give your space a burst of compressed air and the cleaning job is done in a jiff. Just make sure you wear your goggles to protect your eyes from any debris.
