From lifting heavy objects to mixing large vats, these compressors power the equipment that keeps your production line going. They use pistons to compress air in two stages to generate higher pressures and flow rates than single-stage compressors. This two-step process—compressing air, cooling it, and compressing it again—prevents heat and reduces wear, so you can run them continuously.

When choosing a tank size, keep in mind a larger tank capacity means you won't have to run them continuously, which extends their life. These compressors turn on when tank pressure drops to the actuation point and shut off when it reaches maximum pressure.

If you plan to run them continuously, use SAE 20 synthetic oil (sold separately) to maintain performance and efficiency.

Pressurize air to power drills, wrenches, and grinders. Because they’re single-stage, these compressors are best for infrequent use. They turn on when tank pressure drops to the actuation point and shut off when it reaches maximum pressure. Hardwire them to your power source. Choose a compressor with a tank size that matches your application. The larger the tank, the more tools it can power. A greater reserve of air means the compressor can run less often, which keeps it cool and improves energy efficiency for a longer life.

Compressors for intermittent duty require a cooling period between uses so they don’t overheat.

Compressors for continuous duty can run without a cooling period. They’re designed for applications that require a constant supply of compressed air.

Note: Pair air compressors with the listed oil (sold separately) to extend their service life.
