An air compressor is a device that creates and moves pressurized air at various speeds to enable jobs, applications, and functions to be performed faster, more efficiently, more easily, and at lower costs. The devices are used in a broad range of major industries such as manufacturing, semiconductors, food and beverage, healthcare, home appliances, energy, and oil and gas. The gas compressors used in industries are mechanical devices that increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. The industrial gas compressors are used to increase the static pressure of the gas and distribute it at a specified flow rate and pressure in a process application. Atlas Copco is a world leader in air compressors, integrating leading-edge technology from its world-renowned research facilities into innovative products and techniques that make compressed air systems more efficient and cost effective. Typical industrial air compressor uses include spraying crops and ventilating silos in agricultural facilities, running pneumatic machinery in manufacturing plants, operating laundry presses in dry cleaners and various processes in food and beverage manufacturing, oil and gas operations and more.
