Reciprocating Compressors
A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is the traditional compressor found in most shops. It is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver air at high pressure and is perfect for when you need high pressure on an 'on-demand' basis.
Chicago Pneumatic
Rotary Screw Compressors
A rotary screw air compressor functions at a contant air flow, meaning they are on all the time. These air compressors are better for shops who need a steady supply of compressed air at all times. Usually quieter than the reciprocating compressors, these come in an array of models with various horsepower and optional air dryers.
