Piston Compressors

Piston Air Compressors from Air Supply

Piston compressors, also known as reciprocating compressors, work by drawing air into a chamber where it is internally compressed until the desired pressure is reached. This positive displacement compressor is known for its simplicity, efficiency, and reliability, making it a popular choice across various industries.

They can be used for a variety of applications at a range of pressures. Their flexibility makes them suitable for both small-scale and heavy-duty industrial use.

These compressors are used in a wide variety of industries, including: 

• Automotive workshops 
• Manufacturing
• Natural gas processing and delivery 
• Chemical plants 
• Oil refinery 
• Agriculture  

Main benefits of piston compressors include:

• High pressure and power 
• Low maintenance costs 
• Energy efficient 
• Longer lifespan 
• Compact design 
• Simple compression process

At Air Supply Manchester, our BOGE piston compressors are available in a wide range of models and series. We offer the K, P, and PO Series with the unique push rod principle featured.  As a BOGE Platinum Partner, we provide full support from specification to installation, and ongoing maintenance.

To find the right air compressor for your needs, think about the following factors: 

• Demand for compressed air 
• Capacity required 
• Reliability and maintenance requirements of the air compressor

Speak to our experts about your requirements and we’ll find the best solution for your business.

Single and double piston compressors

Single piston air compressors compress air in one stroke, producing lower pressure air. They are best suited for lighter, small-scale applications.

An air compressor with a double piston uses a large piston for the first compression, followed by a smaller piston for a second compression stage after cooling the air. This results in a more efficient process and a higher pressure output of air. This makes the ideal for use in larger industrial environments – those that require higher air delivery.

Oil-Free Piston Compressors

Oil-free piston compressors are designed to deliver clean, contaminant-free air without the use of lubricating oil in the compression chamber. Benefits include less environmental pollution, quiet functioning, less maintenance, and a lower risk of contamination.
