Industrial Air Compressor
As consumers, we often complain about the high cost of products and labor. However, many businesses who purchase and use industrial air compressors actually end up saving their clients money and benefit us in ways we have probably never even thought about. Here are just a few ways that industrial air compressors benefit the average person.
Customer Reviews:
"I replaced my old air hose that was not rubber, often got tangled up, would rarely unravel without probelms, with the Goodyear 3/8 inch hose.The rubber hose is worth the extra few $. I store it in my garage, and even the winter temperatures don't phase it.Only had it a month, so durability is uncertain, but everything to this point is outstanding.Highly recommend! " – Rom122

"So these things are decent at reducing vibration. I have about 8 supporting my work desk from a giant AC unit that shakes the whole floor and they really work at making life better for me at work. Now when I place a drink on my desk it doesn't show ripples on the surface from the floor shaking like it did before using them.. " – kwn

Customer Reviews:
"The advantage to this Goodyear hose is that it is made out of industrial grade rubber instead of vinyl. What that means is that when you are using it instead of being stiff like vinyl it remains soft and flexible, so it lays flat on the floor. This is especially a problem in colder temperatures. It's great for coiling as well, it doesn't fight you.
The real frustration of using a vinyl hose is that it can stand up while moving across the floor, high enough to snag on things, or even pull something onto the floor. The hose is in a coil, then instead of simply uncoiling, the vinyl has a memory and wants to look more like hoops moving over the floor.
This hose comes in 3/8" which is the most popular size. The 1/4" hoses restrict air flow, which is especially important over a 50 foot run.
All in all highly recommended. The advantages are worth it even if it was twice the price. " – Bob Feeser "MillCrafters.com"

"This is just what I needed to have a detachable connection between my air tank and my permanent RapidAir lines.Now I can disconnect the short hose and move the compressor if I have to.The rubber hose and fittings seem to be of good quality, made by Goodyear in the U.S.A.The hose is very flexible, bending without kinking.

"Purchased this air compressor to replace one I have had for many years. The unit is larger than I needed but is a quality built unit. The unit has more than enough CFM's for my needs , impact guns and spray guns. I found most of the units I looked at were of poor quality. This is a great compressor. Packaged in a box covering a wooden crate. Minimal assembly , you have to add the oil and install the 2 air filters. Ran the break in as suggested in the manual. Shut the unit off. Closed the petcock and restarted. The unit shut down at the expected 135 psi. I lowered tank pressure with my blow gun and at 100 psi the pump started up to refill the tank. Easy to use compressor but is not a unit I plan on moving often. Perfect for moving around my garage but not something i would try and use as a portable for in home repairs. I am impressed with the quality of the unit. The other plus was the unit is quiet... " – Steve

"This book has been a great help to me in my work place and in my home workshop. I use compressed air for several systems at work and projects at home and have had problems in the past understanding just what is going wrong. This book helped me fix and understand what the problems spots were and fix the trouble points. I would recommend this book to be on every book shelf where a compressed air system is in use.

"So far it is working great for me, a little bit quieter than my direct drive air compressor. It is made in China. I got for a very low price and quality is fine. " – C. Tan "tepok"
* Industrial air compressors keep us healthier. Used frequently in a variety of medical facilities ranging from dentists’ offices to hospitals, compressors drive much of the medical machinery on which our continued quality of life depends. Due to the use of industrial air compressors, tests and other medical procedures can be conducted much more quickly, greatly increasing the quality of the health care we receive, minimizing the time needed from our busy schedules to see to our medical needs.
- Industrial Air Compressors Saves Us labor cost.While we may often complain about the cost of labor whenever we have to have our car repaired or our home painted or renovated the truth is that the labor costs would be much higher without the use of air compressors. By these businesses using air compressors not only can they do the job faster thus saving on the actual time that mechanic or contractor spends completing the work on our car and house, they also need fewer people to complete the job thus saving hundreds if not thousands of dollars that we would have to pay in labor costs if the work was being done without this equipment.

"I had one of these for 16 years and it always worked great.I only bought a new one because when I moved I sold my air compressor and the Milton went with it.I got a new air compressor and wanted another Milton Tire Inflator with gauge.There is no better tire inflator/gauge on the market.

Customer Reviews:
"I have covered this book in length-no other book or handbook comes close in terms of simplicity of it's explaination. The latest ASHRAE Refrigeration Handbook is a good reference to have when using this book asthere are cross references.Value for money and looking forward to the nextbook that would be specific on Ammonia Refrigeration Systems design. " – Bernard Sagaiyaraj
Customer Reviews: If you are looking for a durable, heavy-duty hose, here it is.
"This is a really nice hose.It is very heavy walled, which will hold 300 PSI and also resists kinking better than lightweight hoses.It is quite flexible which makes it easy to postion without cramping your work style.The ends require 1/4" NPT fittings.I like the orange color - it stays bright and easy to see when it's strung accross the floor.
Customer Reviews:
"Not so easy to get the QD fittings on this one due to the ends (the nuts there). Also, if you're using it when it's cool/cold outside, it won't flex much at all. I'm sure it's fine in the warmer temperatures, but this time of year (even a 45-50F degree day) the thing really doesn't want to flex that much. " – Golddiggie
Customer Reviews:
"I'm writing this review because the Amazon description doesn't inform you that you NEED 15 amps to power the device as clearly stated in the owner's manual. Unfortunately, I didn't know this before purchase so when I plugged it into my Honda Pilot which only supplies 10 amps, it didn't work. I called Slime customer service who confirmed that all their products require 15 amps.
Check your car owner's manual to make sure your power socket supplies 15 amps!
I'm giving it 5 stars because the device itself looks very high quality with a nice storage case. Slime customer service was also speedy and helpful. Too bad the Amazon item description was inadequate.
UPDATE: I have since bought the Black & Decker ASI300 Air Station Inflator which works great with my car. " – Goosecat
Customer Reviews:
"This is a great product ESPECIALLY for the price and brand. I would definitely recommend to others. It would've gotten five stars, but it doesn't contain the quick connect ends,Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type so you'll have to purchase your own set separately. As for the product itself, coupled with great price, I would buy again without hesitation. " – Cline
Customer Reviews:
"The problem is the lock-on chuck. The size and basic design make it hard (or not possable because of limited access) to use and it does not always lock on well. You spend time getting it on right.
For half the price there is a no-name brand version of this tire filler you can get here at Amazon or from Harbor Freight that has a compact clamp on chuck that is much easier to use and has no access issues. C-H chose the wrong chuck. " – G. Litwinski "nopcbs"
* Fewer wages are lost. When you depend on transportation for your job, and are without your car due to necessary repairs, those repairs result in lost wages and productivity due to time spent away from work to make them. Industrial air compressors make the work go much more quickly, resulting in less time away from work and fewer lost wages. As such, not only do businesses who use air compressors save money for themselves, but they also have us back to work much more quickly, earning more money and becoming far more productive.
* Predictable, uniform results. Paint a car by hand and you’ll quickly realize how difficult obtaining that professional, uniform look really is. This is because the pros use paint sprayers, driven by air compressors that distribute the paint evenly across the car’s surface. Businesses who paint with air compressors not only turn out products faster, but the end results are more uniform and appear more professionally done. As such, we can be certain of getting the most for every dollar spent.
In this day and age when time and money are often in short supply it it nice to know that businesses who use industrial air compressors can keep us healthier and leave more money in our pockets. While we may complain about the cost of parts and labor, these businesses are making it possible for us to have lower labor costs than would be possible without these very powerful and useful pieces of equipment.
