Air receivers have the capacity to store compressed air, meaning they become a central part of the air compression process. They will be able to provide you with the air you need during times of high operation, as well as acting as a buffer. This allows you to run your operations smoothly without having to rely on additional air compressors to meet your demand because your receiver will be like a reservoir of air.

Your air receiver can also be used to separate condensation from the compressed air. It does this by allowing the air time to cool whilst in the receiver, helping to deliver air to the right capacity for the rest of the manufacturing system.

There are various receiver sizes that need to be matched with the flow rate of the compressor. Consult with a professional air compressor supplier ahead of making a purchase – there are many different brands and capacities.
