Reliability in piston compressors
Easy to handle and carry around, piston air compressors are known for their versatility and small dimensions. For these reasons, they suit all budgets and are easy to maintain.
One of the first technologies developed for compressed air machines, piston compressors today can rely on several improvements that make them suitable for different uses and markets. This type of technology uses two pistons to pressurize air within cylinders. Piston compressors are available in different types of power and dimensions. They are suitable for personal usage as well as professional applications. Ceccato also offers silent piston compressors, which provide highly reduced noise levels compared to all other piston compressors, resulting in a more comfortable workspace.

Do it yourself air compressors
When a continuous and stable quantity of compressed air is needed, fixed speed is the type of compressor that will suit your requirements. Very easy to use, fixed speed screw compressors are highly reliable and efficient. Once switched on, the fixed speed screw compressor grants a continuous flow or compressed air at a stable level of pressure for a long period of time and throughout the entire day.
Silent piston compressors
Ceccato has developed a silent air compressor range to keep the noise in your workplace down. This type of compressor is available both tank-mounted or on a base, depending on your needs. The silent range can be powered by either electricity or fuel. Find out more about our silent piston air compressors.

If you use air tools intermittently or need compressed air for maintenance, repairs, or light-duty manufacturing, a piston compressor is often the most practical and cost-effective choice.
Basic maintenance includes checking oil levels (for lubricated models), draining condensate from the tank, inspecting filters, and ensuring belts and safety valves are in good condition.
They can be louder than other types, especially during active compression. However, decibel levels vary by model. Ceccato offers configurations that prioritise sound reduction for more comfortable working environments.
