View Details →About Reciprocating Air Compressors
Piston (reciprocating) compressors compress air with a piston moving inside a cylinder. They are simple, rugged and cost-effective, making them a popular choice where air is needed intermittently. Oil-free versions deliver air with no oil carry-over for medical, food and laboratory use.
Advantages
- Low initial investment
- Simple design that is easy to maintain
- Oil-free options for contamination-free air
- Well suited to intermittent duty
- Widely available spares and service support
Frequently Asked Questions
When is a reciprocating compressor better than a screw compressor?
Reciprocating compressors suit lower air demand and on-off use, such as workshops and small units. For continuous, high-volume demand a screw compressor is usually more efficient.
What is an oil-free compressor used for?
Oil-free compressors are used wherever oil in the air could contaminate a product or process — hospitals, dental clinics, laboratories, food and beverage, and electronics.
