Buy High-Quality Air Receivers in Perth, WA

SL Engineering, with over 35 years of experience offering pneumatic solutions, is a name you can trust to buy high-quality air receivers in Perth, WA. Our Pneumark range of products features air compressors and receivers specifically designed to suit conditions in Western Australia.

We supply exceptional vertical air receivers to ensure you never run out of compressed air, even when the demand exceeds expectations. Our air receivers come in different dimensions, capable of holding anywhere between 150 and 5200 litres.

Our vertical air receivers in Perth, WA, are design-approved in accordance with AS 1200. Our air receivers are designed to offer pressure ranging from 1000 to 1450 kPa.

What Are The Main Functions of Air Receivers?

An air receiver is a storage tank designed to store compressed air. It acts as a reserve for when the air compressor alone cannot meet the demands. Having air receivers allows you to prevent downtime and keep the operations running smoothly. Here are some other main functions of air receivers.

Consistent Air Supply

Pneumatic tools and equipment require a consistent air supply to operate properly. Any fluctuations in the air supply can hamper productivity and negatively impact output. All of which means lesser profits. Investing in Pneumark air receivers means a consistent air supply, always! The vertical air receiver provides ample storage for compressed air.

Safety

Pneumark air receivers in Perth, PA, provide a reliable supply of compressed air to shut down equipment in case of power outages safely. Sudden power disruptions cause abrupt stoppage of operations, which can damage tools and equipment. With air receivers, you will have enough power supply to turn off the equipment, ensuring its longevity.

Pressure Stabilisation

The frequency of load and unload cycles directly influences the energy efficiency and longevity of air compressors. By buying air receivers in Perth, WA, you can ensure pressure stabilisation, thus reducing the frequency of load and unload cycles. This directly translates to lower energy costs and maintenance, along with a longer lifespan.

Types of Air Receivers

Wet Air Receivers

Installed between the compressor and the dryer, a wet air receiver stores untreated compressed air. Wet air receivers improve the performance of air dryers by removing moisture from entering the system. They improve the longevity of air dryers and industrial air compressors.

Dry Air Receivers

These air receivers are used to store treated compressed air and are situated after the compressor and the dryer. Dry air receivers are crucial for ensuring moisture-free air for downstream equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right size of air receiver tank?

As a general rule, consider at least 3 to 4 litres per L/s (3 to 4 gallons per CFM) to ensure an uninterrupted supply. Consider other factors, such as compressor size, model, and peak demand, when selecting an air receiver.
You should drain condensate from the air receiver at least once a day. It is a good idea to do so more often if the air compressor is consistently working heavily in humid conditions.
Air receivers are safe when installed and maintained properly. SL Engineering’s Pneumark air receivers meet the AS 1200 design standards. Our air receivers are equipped with features such as pressure relief, gauge, and drain valves for additional safety.
