Air Compressor Applications

Air Compressor Applications

Air compressors are used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. Typically, commercial air compressors are designed to work with various tool attachments in order to provide pneumatic power. A variety of electric tools use the air compressor, including blo-guns, nail guns, air staplers, air sanders, spray guns and sandblasters. These tools usually have industry standard attachments so they can be hooked up to a variety of air compressor brands. Air compressors can also be used to fill tires and other items with air.

Industrial strength air compressors are used to power industrial tools much like commercial varieties, but they can also be used to power larger machines and applications. For instance, petroleum is often “coked,” when carbon particles known as coke are introduced to change the behavior of the petroleum for efficiency reasons. In order to coke large amounts of petroleum, air compressors are used to power the process. Air compressors are also used in applications where purging systems are required to remove unwanted particles.
