This guide explains how to choose the right air compressor for your factory, starting with the two most important parameters, air flow and working pressure, and how to apply a reserve margin. It compares piston versus rotary screw compressors and fixed-speed versus variable-speed (VSD/VFD) models, discusses whether to use one large compressor or several smaller units, standby compressor needs, and air quality requirements, and lists common sizing mistakes along with the information to prepare before purchasing an air compressor.
