Piston Compressors

Piston Air Compressors from Air Supply Lancashire 

Piston, or reciprocating, air compressors are a popular choice of compressor because they are simple, efficient and reliable. They use a positive displacement compression principle, functioning by compressing air within a chamber until the desired pressure is reached. 

Piston compressors can be used for a variety of applications and at a range of pressures. Their versatility makes them suitable for both small-scale and heavy-duty industrial use. 

These compressors are used in a wide variety of industries, including:  

• Automotive workshops  
• Manufacturing 
• Natural gas processing and delivery  
• Chemical plants  
• Oil refinery  
• Agriculture   

Key benefits of piston compressors include: 

• High pressure and power  
• Low maintenance costs  
• Energy efficient  
• Longer lifespan  
• Compact design  
• Simple compression process

At Air Supply Lancashire, we offer a wide selection of BOGE piston compressor models and series. We stock the K, P, and PO Series with the unique push rod principle in our North-West base.  As a BOGE Platinum Partner, we provide complete support from specification to installation and ongoing maintenance. 

To find the right air compressor for your needs, it’s important to consider the following factors:  

• Demand for compressed air  

• Capacity required  

• Reliability and maintenance requirements of the air compressor 

Please speak to our compressed air experts about your requirements and we’ll help find the best solution for your business. 

Single and Double Piston Compressors 

Single piston air compressors are often used for lighter, small-scale applications, whereas double piston compressors are ideal for larger industrial environments. 

Double pistons create a higher pressure output of air, meaning that they are best suited to applications that require high air delivery. The air is pushed through a large piston first, cooled, then pushed through a smaller piston to complete the compression process. Single pistons compress air in one stroke, producing lower pressure air.  

Oil-Free Piston Compressors 

Oil-free piston compressors ensure the production of clean, dry, contaminant-free air. They are widely used in the health and food sector because the absence of lubricating oil in the compression chamber results in a lower risk of contamination, less environmental pollution, quieter functioning, and less maintenance.
