Offering Durable High-Pressure Reciprocating Compressors for All Your Needs

High-pressure reciprocating compressors are pneumatic devices that convert power into potential energy stored in pressurized air. This output is then converted into kinetic energy and is later harnessed to control a range of tools. These devices can be compared to combustion engines, as most models have a pump cylinder, piston, and crankshaft.

How High-Pressure Reciprocating Compressors Work

Unlike its other counterparts, high-pressure reciprocating compressors are machines that suck air into a chamber. These devices compress the gas using a reciprocating piston. The substance then flows into the cylinder through a suction valve after passing through a filter.

 

Afterward, the air is compressed using a crankshaft and piston. Once this process is done, the air leaves through a discharge valve before being stored in a tank for later use. In particular, high-pressure reciprocating compressors can supply a consistent pressure of up to 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi).

 

Keep in mind that reciprocating compressors are engineered only to have 20% to 30% full-load time, meaning they need to be unloaded for all the other hours. Due to the large amounts of pressure they produce, these devices are also bulkier and heavier because of the different components they have. This means they are best suited for plants with more floor space.

What Are the Applications of High-Pressure Reciprocating Compressors?

High-pressure reciprocating compressors have a range of uses across different industries, including:

Powering Air Tools and Other Machinery

High-pressure reciprocating compressors power pneumatic or air tools, eliminating the need for traditional power sources like electricity. By connecting the tool to the compressor via a hose and regulator, users can precisely control the air pressure for optimal performance. Pneumatic motors within these tools convert the energy from compressed air into mechanical action with options for linear or rotary setups depending on the tool’s design.

PET Bottle Blowing

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are made from a kind of polyester extruded or molded to produce different plastic containers. A high-pressure reciprocating compressor is needed to create them, as this machine accurately controls the flow of air to shape the melted substance into any desired shape. They are often required to produce at least more than 650 psi to help make intricate designs.

Nitrogen Boosting

There are numerous uses for nitrogen, such as laser cutting, gas inerting, oilwell gas injection, pipeline purging, food processing, and gas-assist injection molding. Nowadays, many companies utilize high-pressure reciprocating compressors for all these applications to ensure high performance, maximum efficiency, and extreme reliability. However, the psi a corporation needs would still depend on what they utilize the device for.
