Different types of Compressors

From Small to Large: There’s everything for everyone!

There are very small size, single phase, light weight air compressors and there are heavy duty, large size, multi phase compressors too and that’s all for all your varied needs. Let’s take a look at what types of air compressors are available from leading air compressor manufacturers in India.

Ø  Reciprocating Piston Air Compressors

A Reciprocating Piston Air Compressor or otherwise known as piston air compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that works on pistons to deliver gases at high pressure. The gas enters the suction manifold, and then passes through cylinder of compression, then it is compressed by a piston in a reciprocating motion with the help of a pre-built crankshaft, and finally it is discharged. Reciprocating Piston Air Compressors are available in three main variants:

·         Single Stage Low Pressure Compressor
·         Two Stage Low Pressure Compressor, and
·         Multi Stage High Pressure Compressor


Lubricated and Non-Lubricated Water Cooled Air Compressors are another fabulous yet widely used air compressor type that are largely been designed and developed by leading air compressors manufacturers in India. Lower cost, smaller yet smart design and size and wide and varied applications are main reasons for the increased use of this type of air compressors. The oil for lubrication purpose is automatically supplied to the pump as soon as the compressor starts. Non-Lubricated Compressors do not require oil supplement and hence do not have separate cylinder for oil supply. These kind of vertical air compressors are widely used for industries where high air volume is needed.

Non-Lubricated Compressors do not require oil supplement and hence do not have separate cylinder for oil supply.

Ø  Screw Compressors

Screw compressors or Rotary Compressors are positive displacement compressors. The most common screw air compressor is the single stage helical or spiral lobe oil flooded screw air compressor. Wide range of capacity control, High performance, use in a number of applications, and high reliability are all its robust features that add stunning value to the compressors.

Ø Other types of Air Compressors

Other types of Air Compressors include Oil Free Air Compressors, Air Dryer Compressors etc. These all types of air compressors have varied use and varied applications based on their varied features, capacity and values in the industries.

From simple and small Compressors to large size, heavy duty multi role compressors, there are a number of air compressors types available to satisfy your distinguished personal, residential and industrial needs. We have been in the air compressors industry since long and have a vision to cut a long journey along with you!
