A piston compressor uses a reciprocating piston inside a cylinder to compress air or other gases. The piston compressor is a machine that uses […]
A screw compressor, compresses air or gas via positive displacement via rotary motion. The heavy-duty machinery can compress more air than the more traditional piston compressors, making it ideal for industrial applications. A screw compressor has a more duty cycle, which enables continuous operation compared to a piston compressor, which typically requires a break to […]
