Selecting the Right Reciprocating Compressor for Your Needs

Compressor Selector

HOW DO I CHOOSE A COMPRESSOR?

Selecting the best reciprocating air compressor depends on many variables, such as the tools and equipment you will be powering, the site where the compressor will operate, the power source you're using, flow and pressure, and even your industry: Automotive, DIY, Woodworking, Metalworking, Craft Brewing, or Farm and Ranch.

WHAT SIZE AIR COMPRESSOR DO I NEED?

Determining the right size compressor for your business depends on what type of equipment you'll be powering, how much equipment you have, and how often it's used. For help answering these questions, call our experts today.

When comparing your options, consider the following questions:

  1. Which types of equipment am I powering with the air compressor?
  2. How many pieces of equipment am I powering?
  3. What does my air usage look like with each piece of equipment?
  4. What CFM at max pressure is required?
  5. What PSIG is required?
  6. Which type of compressor do I prefer – electric or gas; portable, stationary, or truck-mounted?
  7. What voltage/phase power do I have access to?
  8. Which features would you I like to have, such as a low oil level switch, air-cooled aftercooler, or electric drain valve?
