Explore our full range of piston air compressors, designed for a wide variety of applications. At ASG Energy, our expertise ensures that your compressor installation is optimized for performance and reliability.
Piston Compressors for Every Application
Our piston air compressor portfolio caters to all users, from small-scale operations to large industrial needs. Our selection includes reciprocating piston air compressors, ranging from 1.5 kW belt-driven units for light-duty tasks to larger industrial models featuring cast iron construction and direct drive mechanisms. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive range of oil-free piston air compressors, ideal for specialized uses like dental surgeries, laboratories, PET bottle blowing, and CNG applications.
Why Should I Choose a Piston Compressor?
Among the various air compressor technologies available, piston or reciprocating compressors are the most cost-effective and accessible. These compressors are not outdated, noisy machines as commonly assumed. Modern piston compressor technology significantly contributes to industrial productivity, with models ranging from 0.55 to 15 kW. These machines are available in different configurations, such as base units, trolley-mounted models, or complete compressed air stations that include refrigerant dryers and pre-wired regulation equipment. For specialized applications like compressed natural gas, piston compressors can be found up to 560 kW.
Advantages of Buying a Piston Compressor
Cost-Effective Technology
Piston compressors are among the oldest types of air compressors, relying on basic physics to function. The simplicity of the design means the technology is well understood and widely used, which helps keep manufacturing costs low. This results in competitive pricing, offering the buyer excellent value for money.Ease of Maintenance
Due to the age and simplicity of piston compressors, maintenance is straightforward and well-understood. Technicians can easily master the maintenance process, as there is little ongoing learning required. This translates to a larger pool of available technicians and reduced maintenance costs. Specialized applications, such as natural gas compression, may have higher service demands, but these cases are the exception rather than the rule.Availability of Spare Parts
Spare parts for piston compressors are abundant, thanks to the widespread use of this technology. Whether you’re looking for parts through authorized dealers, local stores, or e-commerce platforms, you’ll find a wide range of options available. Even in specialized applications, like tire inflation or pneumatic tools in auto garages, spare parts are easy to source.
Disadvantages of Buying a Piston Compressor
Although piston compressors offer low initial investment costs, noise can be a concern, especially in small workspaces. While modern machines operate at a noise level of around 65 dB, older or more basic models can be as loud as 80 dB or more. To mitigate noise, many businesses opt for soundproof enclosures or install their compressors outside the workplace. Investing in a high-quality, modern piston compressor with reduced noise output can help address this issue.
