:: AFFILIATE :: COMPRESSOR HIRE
Compressor hire has been around for many many years in industry
because with this machinery air is made safe and clean. Over
the years of course this machinery has evolved into highly efficient
pieces of equipment, and now being indispensable in many applications
they serve.
Compressors come in a variety of different types and sizes, and
so when one is considering compressor hire, you will need
to know what size is required, whether it will be too noisy,
where is it going to be placed, what applications will it
be used for, or whether it will need to be portable or stationary.
An air compressor is the central power source and a huge
investment for many a company. Air compressors are available in horsepowers of
3/4 to 5, or even larger, with a variety of tank sizes.
The capacity and the frequency and duration of use will determine
the horsepower and tank size that you will need for the projects.
The reciprocating, or piston compressors, are the most common
of all the machines currently available on the market. They are positive displacement
compressors, and can be found in ranges from fractional to
very high horsepowers, and are made up of cylinders, pistons,
crankshafts, valves, and housing blocks.
A non-functioning air system can be devastating to the operation
of a food business. Rand Air is committed to solving any and all
problems occuring with an air compressor by supplying a reliable compressed air service which,
because they have oil free compressors, they can guarantee
air clean enough to breathe for the use of food distributors.
Portable compressors are also available, all at reasonable prices, with accessories
and replacement parts.
Service technicians are sent out to deliver, install, and start
up the compressor as well as carry out service work and emergency
breakdown work. Rand Air offers unstoppable service for positioning
the compressor as well as installing it to the highest standard,
and their professional but friendly service cannot be matched
by any other compressor hire firms. Large portable diesel
units as well as electric units and high pressure units make

and it is hired to you for how a long a period of time you require.
Also, ith a preventive maintenance program, compressed air
needs are attended to without any inconvenience, and with
24/7 service.
How does an air compressor work?
An air compressor is a machine that decreases the volume
and increases the pressure of a quantity of air by mechanical
means. Compressed air possesses great potential energy because
when the external pressure is removed, the air expands rapidly.
The controlled expansive force of compressed air is used in
many ways, and provides the motive force for air motors and
tools, including pneumatic hammers, air drills, sandblasting
machines, and paint sprayers.
There are two types of air compressors; the reciprocating
and the rotating.
In a reciprocating, or displacement compressor, which is used
to produce high pressures, the air is compressed by the action
of a piston in a cylinder. When the piston moves to the right,
air flows into the cylinder through the intake valve, when
the piston moves to the left, the air is compressed and forced
through an output control valve into a reservoir or storage
tank.
A rotating air compressor used for low and medium pressures
usually consists of a bladed wheel or impeller that spins
inside a closed circular housing. Air is drawn in at the centrifugal
force of the spinning blade. The energy of the moving air
is then converted into pressure in the diffuser, and the compressed
air is forced out through a narrow passage to the storage
tank.
Whether you are simply inflating a tyre, whether you are
in some remote area, or in a thriving business situation,
compressor hire is an alternative power source for any application.
