There are four common types of air compressors

Classification and characteristic analysis of air compressors

According to the working principle and application scenarios, air compressors are mainly divided into the following four categories:

1. Piston air compressor
Gas compression is achieved through reciprocating motion of the piston, which is suitable for small gas use scenarios. It is common in intermittent gas-using environments such as maintenance workshops and small factories, and has the characteristics of low initial investment.

2. Twin screw air compressor
Two intermeshing screw rotors are used for gas compression and are widely used in medium-sized industrial scenarios. This type of equipment achieves sealing and cooling through oil lubrication and is suitable for manufacturing companies that require continuous gas supply.

3. Centrifugal air compressor
Relying on the high-speed rotating impeller to do work on the gas, it is suitable for large-scale gas needs. It is common in continuous production industries such as steel and chemical industries, and has the advantages of large flow and simple maintenance.

4. Single screw air compressor
It adopts a unique design in which a single screw is matched with two star wheels to replace the traditional oil system through water lubrication. This type of equipment avoids oil contamination during the compression process, and is especially suitable for scenarios requiring clean air sources, such as:

  • Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging
  • Electronic component production
  • Precision instrument control
  • Environmentally friendly treatment process

Granklin air compressor adopts the third-generation single screw technology. Through the combination of precision manufactured screws and star wheels, combined with a water-lubricated cooling system, it achieves efficient compression while ensuring that the output gas is absolutely oil-free. Its low noise and long life characteristics provide a reliable solution for companies with strict requirements on air source quality.
