Compressed air is often called the fourth utility, with millions of businesses around the world relying on it to keep their operations running. Some manufacturers use compressors that push hundreds of horsepower (hp) to operate their machines, but for every factory running a machine like that, there are dozens of businesses counting on smaller compressors to perform an almost countless number of tasks.
CompressAir, a locally owned and operated business, is one of the leading providers of compressed air services and products in Northern Indiana. It is an authorized Sullair distributor, carrying a wide range of the innovative company’s machines, including an array of compressors ranging from 5-600 hp.
“A lot of attention goes to the larger compressors, but the smaller horsepower compressors are important, too,” said Brittany Smith, director of marketing communications at CompressAir. “They have so many applications requiring smaller horsepower compressors.”
One of the most common places you might see one of Sullair’s smaller compressors is at your local mechanic or body shop. They might pump your tires full of air, of course, but they also power wrenches, hammers, drills, paint guns, and much more. These compressors are even relied on by top teams in motorsport, such as NASCAR’s Roush Fenway Racing.
Compressors such as Sullair’s Shoptek and S-energy Rotary Screw Air Compressor, are plug-and-play. They include compressor, dryer, tank, and filtration sized for a complete plug and play applications. Sullair’s smaller hp compressors also boast another major benefit – quiet operation.
“We can easily train our customers on how to handle the basic maintenance for their smaller horsepower compressors,” Smith said. “We do recommend they stay connected with us once a year, so our trained service technicians can help with technical aspects to ensure everything is running efficiently. This helps to avoid any unplanned shutdowns.”
Screen printers, paint shops, and small machine shops are also beneficiaries of these compressor designs, which are durable and occupy relatively little storage space.
The compact design also leads to energy efficiency, which combined with the simple maintenance means a cost-effective machine with a long life.
