High Pressure Air Compressor
Exceptional Service is Our Guarantee
There are two main types of compressors falling under the high-pressure category: standard high-pressure air compressors and high-pressure booster compressors.
Complex and versatile, high-pressure air compressors take ambient air through several stages of compression in order to supply a consistent pressure of up to 6,000 psi. The air is cooled as it moves through each stage in order to compress as much as possible. This allows for optimal amounts of pressure.
High-pressure booster systems, on the other hand, require standard pressure services and inlets of at least 125 psi to allow for discharge pressure ranges of 450 to 640 psi. Using pre-compressed air from existing systems, these add-ons are built for specific points of use; they’re most often used in situations in which plant service air is needed for most services but much higher pressures are required for others.
Most industrial plants are able to handle pressures between 90-100 psi, so boosters are critical for completing many industrial tasks; these serve as cost-effective alternatives to outfitting the entire plant for higher pressures. PET plastic blow molding, for instance, requires very high pressures, so plants may use a booster system to enhance existing systems used for other applications, most of which won’t require nearly as much pressure.
Comprehensive, high-quality compressor systems will also feature controls allowing for automatic filling and remote monitoring, which, in turn, allow for integrated plant-wide monitoring systems. Any issues can then be quickly identified and remedied.
