Air receiver
Compressed air has a wide range of applications and is often considered a highly economical solution. Compressed air systems are commonly used in both large-scale and smaller manufacturing facilities. They are also frequently found in workshops, automotive repair shops, painting booths, and carpentry businesses. One of the key components of such a system is the compressed air tank. This part of the network is used to store pressurized gases delivered by the compressor. Air tanks are particularly useful in environments where pressure drops occur within the system. They are also essential in workshops with irregular and highly variable air consumption. The compressed gas stored in an air tank helps maintain stable pressure levels, preventing issues related to pressure fluctuations.
High-quality air tanks for compressors are made from premium stainless steel, carbon steel, or chrome-plated steel. These materials ensure durability and the ability to withstand high pressure. The limited number of welds naturally minimizes weak points, reducing the risk of leaks. Additionally, the exterior of the tank is powder-coated, providing protection against corrosion and extending its lifespan.
Compressor Air Tanks
How to choose the right air tank for your compressor? Our selection includes a variety of air tanks, all designed for durability and solid construction. We provide the necessary certifications to ensure compliance and safe usage. Most compressed air tanks are positioned vertically, optimizing space efficiency within the system. When selecting an air tank, several factors should be considered, but the most crucial aspect is ensuring compatibility with your compressor. This includes the type of connection and the output pressure. Improper matching can lead to inefficiencies and pressure fluctuations, while an undersized tank may cause leaks or even structural damage.
Various Sizes of Compressed Air Tanks
One of the most noticeable features of an air tank is its size. Apart from its external dimensions, capacity determines how much air can be stored inside. Air tanks range from 200 to 2000 liters, but for standard workshop setups and small service stations, a 500-liter tank is the most common choice. The appropriate tank size depends on multiple factors, including compressor efficiency, inlet pressure, and frequency of air usage.
Vertical Compressed Air Tanks
Compressed air tanks are available in powder-coated or galvanized finishes. Powder-coated tanks are baked at high temperatures to ensure a protective coating adheres to the steel, preventing corrosion. In contrast, galvanization involves applying a layer of iron, making the tank more resistant to corrosion and scratches while also enhancing its appearance. Airpress air tanks are designed to handle pressures of 11, 12, or 16 bar and are CE-certified, ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, and health regulations.
Placement of the Air Tank
When purchasing a compressed air tank, it is essential to plan its placement carefully. These tanks are relatively large components of a compressed air system, so when choosing a vertical air tank, ensure that your facility has enough ceiling clearance. Some tanks can be as tall as 2.5 meters, which may complicate installation or even make it impossible in certain spaces.
Connecting the Air Tank to the Compressed Air System
Before purchasing an air tank, consider its dimensions and the number of direct connections required. Depending on the model, Airpress air tanks have 6, 7, or 8 connection points. The connection size is also crucial. Proper planning of your installation ensures seamless coordination between all components. If you are replacing an existing tank, be sure to verify the connector sizes in your current system.
For a secure and stable connection between the air tank and your compressed air system, consider using dedicated mounting kits, ensuring optimal performance and system integrity.
Compressed Air Fittings
An air compressor tank is a key part of the entire compressed air system. To ensure optimal performance, it must be properly connected using specialized fittings. Accessories such as pressure gauges facilitate monitoring of internal tank pressure. Our product range includes various fittings tailored to different tank capacities. These include connection pipes leading to the network, fittings with shut-off valves for isolating specific sections, and precision pressure gauges.
All fittings are designed with uniform diameters for easy and secure connections, ensuring an airtight system and uninterrupted operation. Made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, these accessories guarantee long-lasting durability without the need for frequent replacements.
