Used and new compressors
Are you looking for efficient equipment for your workshop, carpentry or sawmill? A compressor is a basic tool that will improve your work in many industries. Every professional workshop needs a reliable source of compressed air. A compressor is a device that converts mechanical energy into pneumatic energy, necessary to power many tools. We offer both brand new and used models of professional compressors with various parameters. A compressor is an investment that quickly pays off thanks to its versatility. Modern devices from our offer combine high efficiency with energy efficiency, which translates into lower operating costs. Regardless of whether you are looking for equipment for a small workshop or a professional carpentry - you will find a model perfectly suited to your needs.
How does a compressor work and what types of compressors are there?
The principle of operation of a compressor is based on compressing atmospheric air to a specific working pressure. The most popular type is an electric compressor, which is characterized by simple operation and relatively quiet operation. For most workshops, a piston compressor is particularly recommended, which offers high working pressure at an affordable price. A workshop compressor must meet specific requirements for efficiency and reliability. Compressors are devices that can be divided into two main types: displacement and flow.
Positive displacement compressors – draw air into a compression chamber, then close, compress and force the compressed air into a tank. Positive displacement compressors are divided into:
- Piston compressors
- Screw compressors
- Diaphragm compressors – compress air through a tight and sealed membrane. They produce compressed air that is free of impurities. They are great primarily for powering medical equipment, as well as in the food industry. These types of diaphragm compressors are maintenance-free and reach a working pressure of up to 10 bar.
- Rotary compressors – with 2-stage compression with cooling, they generate a working pressure of up to about 7 bar. These compressors operate quietly. If oil is introduced into the compression chambers during compression, then in single-stage rotary screw and multi-chamber devices, pressures of up to 10 bar can be achieved. The oil is used to lubricate, cool and seal the rotor.
- Rotary multi-chamber compressors – sucks air through a filter and suction valve. During compression, oil is injected into the chambers, which is separated from the air in the air-oil tank before the air is transferred to the network. After cooling and filtering, the oil is injected again.
Flow compressors – also known as turbine compressors. They suck in and accelerate atmospheric air through wheels with blades or propellers. The kinetic energy of the stream in the connected tank is transformed into the potential energy of compressed air. These compressors are characterized primarily by high efficiency. Flow devices are divided into axial and radial compressors.
Which workshop compressor should I choose?
Choosing the right workshop compressor depends primarily on the specifics of the work performed on a daily basis in your company. Key parameters to pay attention to include efficiency, maximum working pressure and tank capacity. The compressor should be matched to the tools that will work with it. A compressor with a larger tank ensures more stable operation during long-term use. For professional applications, it is worth considering models equipped with noise reduction systems and advanced cooling mechanisms. A compressor with thermal and anti-corrosion protection will ensure a longer service life of the device. Manufacturers offer a variety of solutions tailored to the needs of specific industries, so it is worth carefully analyzing your requirements before buying. An oil-free compressor will work well where air purity is key, but oil models usually offer a much longer service life with intensive use. Modern compressors are often equipped with star-delta start-up modules, which significantly reduce power consumption during start-up.
A used compressor can be a good solution for people on a tight budget, provided you buy it from a trusted seller. Each used compressor from our offer undergoes a thorough technical inspection. Thanks to this, you can be sure that you are buying a fully functional and ready-to-use device. Manufacturers offer a variety of solutions tailored to the needs of specific industries, so it is worth analyzing your requirements carefully before buying. If you do not know which compressor to choose, whether an oil or oil-free model will work better, write or call and take advantage of the knowledge of our advisors. We will help you choose the model best suited to the work in your company.
How much does a professional compressor for a carpentry shop or workshop cost?
Prices of professional devices depend mainly on the type, brand, technical parameters or additional equipment. A small oil-free compressor costs only a few hundred zlotys. The relatively small capacity of the tank and the parameters of such a compressor make it a solution for companies that use the compressor occasionally.
A piston air compressor with increased efficiency, adapted for intensive work, costs from several to several thousand zlotys. A professional piston compressor with advanced cooling and noise reduction systems can cost even more than PLN 10000. It is worth remembering that a compressor is an investment for years, so it is not worth saving at the expense of quality. A compressor from a renowned brand will ensure reliability and safety of work. The cost of purchasing an air compressor should be considered in the context of future operating costs. Energy-saving models, despite a higher initial price, may turn out to be more economical in the long run.
The higher price range is represented by professional screw compressors. These are stationary devices designed for large plants and factories. The cost of a screw compressor is, depending on the parameters and possibilities, from a dozen to even over 100 thousand zlotys.
