What are air compressors used for in manufacturing?

Compressed air is an essential energy source for manufacturers relying heavily on modern innovations and mechanical systems in a variety of operations. Air compressor systems for manufacturing are critical for industrial buildings, pumping systems, material handling, primary processing, and the maintenance and repair of various machinery and equipment. It supplies the driving power to the manufacturing industry for safe and convenient production processes.

Typical uses of compressed air in the manufacturing industry include:

Spray finishing equipment — to vaporise paint so it can be applied to components and products.
Air operated tools — air tools are preferred to electric tools as they are light and easy to handle.
Air operated lifting equipment — air hoists can be used for a multitude of lifting operations.
Shot blasting — air is used to propel grit or shot for blasting and cleaning operations.
Cooling & heating — air is used in a vortex tube to create high volumes of hot and cold air for industrial heating and cooling processes.
Cleaning — air is used for cleaning processes in manufacturing facilities.

Wide variety of manufacturing activities and applications that require compressed air includes:

General manufacturing – Clamping, stamping, tool powering and cleaning, controls and actuators.
Furniture manufacturing – Air piston powering, tool powering, clamping, spraying, controls and actuators.
Plastics, silicone and rubber manufacturing – Mold press powering, tool powering, clamping, and forming, injection molding.
Metal Fabrication – Assembly station powering, controls and actuators, injection molding, tool powering, and spraying.
Glass, Stone, Clay – Conveying, blending, mixing, controls and actuators, glass blowing and molding, cooling.
Mining – Hoists, pumps, pneumatic tools controls and actuators.
Food and Beverages – Dehydration, bottling, controls and actuators, conveying, spraying coatings, cleaning, vacuum packing.
