Air Compressors
Air compressors, with their remarkable versatility, are an efficient way to transfer power from one source into potential energy.
They are used to power air tools, move products, and even perform delicate operations in food, electronics, and pharmaceutical processes, making them an indispensable asset in various industries.
Choosing the right compressor for your business or workshop
Despite their wide range of applications, air compressors are conceptually, relatively simple. They take the air we breathe, use different methods to compress it, and then put it into your compressed air system or a tank for later use, making them a straightforward and reliable solution for your power needs.
Piston or reciprocal compressors
Piston or reciprocal compressors use a set of pistons to pump compressed air. They can be small and are often used in workshops or garages, where the demand for compressed air is not constant.
Rotary screw air compressors
These use a screw to push air into a smaller volume. The design is ideal for uses where constant compressed air is needed. They also tend to be quieter, and variable speed versions exist to match compressed air production to demand.
Centrifugal compressors
Centrifugal compressors use an impeller to accelerate air, generating pressure by forcing it through a diffuser. Capable of generating large volumes of air, they are usually found in applications like industrial refrigeration or gas processing.

How compressed air is used
It might be quicker to list places where compressed air is not used!
- Powering tools and equipment: compressed air is ideal for transferring power to tools, from industrial manufacturing to portable compressors supporting roadworks.
- Manufacturing processes: compressed air is versatile, from mundane tasks like clearing work areas to delicate operations like food processing and packaging.
- Generating gases: compressed air can be separated into its key components, nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen is often used in areas like pharmaceuticals and food to create a clean environment and prevent spoiling.
- Spraying: almost anything you can think of that is sprayed can use compressed air, from paint to irrigating greenhouses in agriculture.
- Healthcare: Compressed air is used in many healthcare settings; perhaps the least popular use for many people will be powering dental tools.
The benefits of air compressors
Air compressors are everywhere because they bring so many benefits:
- Cost effective: an air compressor can power multiple applications, reducing energy use and improving efficiency.
- Hardworking and reliable: air compressors are designed for heavy-duty use; with proper maintenance, your compressor can last for decades.
- Versatile: there is a compressor that is right for you, whatever your use and need, from portable units for small projects to compressors that can supply your entire operation.

Air Compressors Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an air compressor cost?
The cost depends on your needs. We always offer a customised service, so you will only pay for what you need. However, many of our customers will attest that a Search Air compressor is an investment which quickly pays for itself.
Do I need an oil-free air compressor?
Oil-free compressors can achieve the highest standards of air purity. However, you only need one if your processes – such as food or pharmaceutical manufacturing – need that standard. Most other uses can achieve the purities they need with oil-lubricated compressors.
What type of compressor do I need?
The type of compressor that is best for you will depend on your operation and be guided by your compressed air demands, the location of your compressor, and any growth plans you have. We are happy to give you professional guidance and advice.
