What are People Buying?
People are all asking what people are buying. Here is a quick snapshot of what industries are buying; Granite fabricators 10 - 30 hp compressors), Automotive (5 - 15 hp compressors), general manufacturing (5 - 500 hp), Pharmaceutical (lub & non lub, 3 - 100+ hp), remediation (3 - 25 hp compressors), medical (3 - 50 hp compressors) and many more.
Why buy new vs. used air compressors? Remember, there is a reason why someone traded in their used air compressor; potential compressor repairs on a used compressor could far exceed the cost of a new one.
Who Will Service My Air Compressor?

I found the right rotary screw compressor, what else should I know before buying this compressor?
Once you have chosen the right rotary screw compressor for your facility, you will need to know the right voltage. You have either single or three phase power and the options would be:
Single Phase (3, 5 & 7.5 Horsepower)
- 208/1/60 or 230/1/60
Three Phase (All)
- 200-208/3/60
- 230-240/3/60
- 460-480/3/60
- 575-600/3/60
We also ask what pressure you want the compressor set for, the standard pressure in the industry is 125 PSI but in some cases customers ask for 150 or 175 PSI. For every 1 PSIG change from rated pressure, the brake horsepower will change 0.5% from the rated BHP. Think about decreasing your header pressure and start saving energy.
