What is a compressor used for in construction

The act of building which is construction rely on air compressors because they are significant in providing consistent and reliable power to complete a wide range of tasks. At a construction site they are used to power pneumatic tools, jackhammers and grinders are among some of the tools which depend on air compressors.

 

Benefits of air compressors at construction site:

  • Easy to operate and maintain: modern air compressors are plug and play which makes them easy to use and the maintenance cost is low

  • Low noise to zero noise: construction crew air compressor sound can be adjusted reducing the sound pollution

  • Versatile: air compressors are capable of powering variety tools and separate power source is not needed

  • Safety: at a construction site electricity sparks are less likely to occur when using air compressors

 

 

What to consider when choosing a construction air compressor

Before you invest in your new air compressor for your construction project there are factors you must consider like the compressor type, size, power, noise level, psi and cfm:

 

Type: 

Mostly used air compressors for construction are portable rotary screw air compressor because of their design to run continuous due to their unique cooling system, providing power to pneumatic tools. Portable screw air compressors can be transported to and from the working site, even to remote areas. Some compressors like the Auliss portable screw air compressor can be customized to lightweight which makes it easy for transportation.

 

Size:

When selecting a compressor, especially for construction projects, it is very important to pick a suitable option which provides enough power for your tools and easily transported, a powerful and compact compressor.

 

Power:

Considering the air compressor power source is also an important factor, these sources include diesel, petrol and electric. Recommended air compressors for construction projects are diesel powered compressor due to their outstanding performance and stability. With the diesel brands as Chaochai, Yuchai, Cummins and others.

 

Noise Level:

The construction site you will be working at determines what level of noise you might consider for your compressor. For those whose construction site is at a busy or urban area, pick a low to zero noise air compressor to avoid noise pollution.

 

CFM and PSI:

Every pneumatic tool requires a certain cubic feet per minute (cfm) and pounds per square inch (psi), so it is important to make sure the wholesale screw air compressor you are choosing is capable of powering the required tools. Most construction sites tools powered by a portable screw air compressor requires 5 (cfm), except for rock drilling which might require more than 100 (cfm) and 70 - 90 (psi).


Common compressor applications at a construction site:

  • Jackhammers

  • Drilling machines

  • Grinders

  • Nail guns

  • Sanders
