Air compressors in agriculture and farming
Air compressors are essential in agricultural and farming, keeping farms running by allowing you to operate important equipment, and build and repair infrastructure. We know farming is the backbone of our community, so agricultural compressors must be able to deliver air constantly on time, over long periods of time, in order to meet production requirements, [...]
Extend the life of your air compressor
Extend the lifespan of your air compressor Your air compressor is crucial to your operations, so regular servicing and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and for achieving its full lifespan of around 10 to 15 years. Failing to properly maintain your compressed air system can lead to problems. Some of these issues include: Restricted airflow [...]
Ohm’s Law and your compressor: Understanding the electrical connection
Every air compressor depends on a stable, well-balanced electrical supply. When voltage, current or resistance fall outside their normal range, your compressor can lose efficiency, struggle to start, or shut down unexpectedly. A simple electrical principle, Ohm’s Law helps explain why this happens and what it means for the long-term reliability of your compressed air [...]
When it comes to your compressor, what is air pressure?
Understanding compressed air pressure and flow When discussing compressed air systems, pressure and flow are integral parts of how a system will utilise air. Let's dive into the difference between the two and the nature of the relationship between pressure and rate of flow within a compressed air system. What is compressed air pressure? [...]
What is compressed air?
WHAT IS COMPRESSED AIR? Compressed air is used all around us in everyday life. It can be used in the form of blowing air or as an energy source, from the air in a balloon, riding a roller coaster to visiting the dentist. Compressed Air is often called “The Fourth Utility” because it is [...]
Ensure your Air Compressor runs Smoothly
As we begin the new year with soaring hot temperatures, are you confident that your compressed air system can cope? The hot weather can put a lot of stress on your compressed air system and as the temperature starts to rise a number of maintenance issues can occur. here are our top tips on [...]
Air Compressors in the Mining Industry
Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal, iron ore, lead, diamonds, rutile, zinc and zirconium, the second largest of gold and uranium, and third largest of aluminium. Due to the inherent dangers of the industry, mining companies need to use top-of-the-line equipment in terms of both performance and reliability. Nearly all mining operations rely on compressed air [...]
Working safely with compressed air
Compressed air is a powerful energy source used across many industries to run tools, machinery and processes. But when it’s not handled properly, it can pose serious safety risks. Whether air is stored in receivers or supplied direct from your compressor, it travels through regulators, air lines and hoses to deliver energy to your equipment. [...]
