Air Compressors

What Are Air Compressors, Dryers & Tanks?

Air compressors, dryers, and tanks are essential components of a complete compressed air system.

Air compressors generate pressurized air to power a wide range of tools and equipment used in industrial, commercial, and shop environments. Air dryers—such as refrigerated or desiccant models—remove moisture from compressed air to prevent corrosion, contamination, and equipment failure. Air tanks (also called receiver tanks) store pressurized air, helping to maintain consistent pressure, reduce compressor cycling, and improve overall system efficiency.

Together, these components ensure clean, dry, and reliable compressed air for demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size air compressor do I need for my operation?

    It depends on your tools' air consumption (CFM), pressure requirements (PSI), and duty cycle. Contact us for help sizing the right unit.
  • Why do I need an air dryer with my compressor?

    Air dryers remove moisture from compressed air, which helps prevent rust, water damage, and contamination in your tools and systems.
  • What does an air tank do in a compressed air system?

    An air tank stores compressed air, reduces compressor cycling, stabilizes pressure, and provides reserve capacity during high-demand periods.
  • Do you offer used compressors and dryers?

    Yes, we offer both new and quality-inspected used equipment to fit a variety of budgets and applications.
  • Can I use a compressor without a dryer or tank?

    It's possible, but not recommended. Without a dryer, moisture can damage equipment, and without a tank, the system may be less efficient and harder on the compressor.
