Guide to Using a High Pressure Compressor

Air compressors are machines that have the ability to create and use compressed air.  This air can be used for a variety of different purposes; ranging from powering tools to inflating tires.  Manufacturers and large industrial plants rely on a high pressure compressor or compressors for powering their large projects and productions.

One thing that is a necessity when using these machines is to pick the right one for the right project.  Using a too powerful air compressor for a light job may cause problems as many tools cannot handle the power of a very high powered machine.  Check the user manual for your tools, before purchasing what you need.  Let’s look a little more into the uses for this type of compressor.  high powered compressor

Below are some of the common uses of a high pressure compressor:

  *  Fill gas cylinders by adding high-pressure clean air    Produce large amounts of moderate-pressure air for large industrial projects
  *  Operate rail vehicle and/or road vehicle brakes
  *  Store air for later use in submarines
  *  Increase the mass flow of air inside the cylinder in order to increase internal combustion engine performance
  *  Fill up large tires and power tools at service stations and auto repair shops
  *   In the production and manufacturing process of PET plastic bottles, containers, and other various products

Step by step guide on how to use the compressor:

Step 1: Determine the intended use for your machine- You should determine the intended use for your project before you search for and purchase an air compressor.  Knowing the purpose of your air compressor can help you choose the perfect product for your individual situation.  The size of your project will determine the size of tank that you need.

Step 2: Make sure that your compressor is lubricated- Before you start your project, it is important to ensure that your compressor is lubricated with oil.

Step 3: Follow all of the necessary safety precautions- Some of the safety precautions that you should follow include wearing safety goggles/protective eyewear and disconnecting the air supply when you are not using the tool.  You should never point the tool towards your own or anyone else’s body.  After you have followed all of the necessary safety precautions, you are ready to start and use the machine.  You should carefully follow the manufacturer’s manual and always use regulated, compressed air.

Step 4: Adjust the settings on your machine- The next step is to adjust the settings to high-pressure.  Turn the air compressor on and use the machine.  Make sure that you are paying attention and remain alert while the machine is in the on position.  Being alert and paying attention can prevent you from making any mistakes.

Step 5: Add an attachment to make the most out of your high pressure compressor- There are plenty of attachments that are available for your air compressor.  Some of the most popular attachments include nail-guns, air staplers, air sanders, spray guns, sand blasters, air drills, and caulking guns.

Step 6: Make sure that your air compressor is properly shut off- Finally, you need to ensure that your motor and air compressor is properly shut off.  After you shut the motor off, you should completely unplug any cords and make sure the regulative valve is turned off.

High pressure air compressors are used for construction and commercial purposes.  When used with additional attachments, high pressure air compressors can be used to effectively fill gas cylinders, produce large amounts of air-pressure for large industrial projects, operate road vehicle brakes, and inflate large tires/amount of tires at service stations and repair shops.  If you need an air compressor for at-home projects, you can probably find a more affordable option.  Don’t forget to carefully read the instructions on the user’s manual before you operate the machine.
