Selection guide
A partner for life requires time to think and evaluate. You need to meet people, collect info and write down PROs and Cons. In Ceccato, we provide you all the time you need. And we want to do more: a guide with detailed info about our compressors is coming soon.
For now, let’s keep in touch: for info or for a quotation, fulfill the form below and our expert will contact you.
Each company or professional has its own need of compressed air, and sometimes they need a tailored solution, applying to a specific technology or different power ranges. Before evaluating different models, knowing the amount of compressed air needed by your tools and production machines is mandatory, as well as the the required air quality.
Screw technology is ideal for industries and professionals who need a great quantity of compressed air. The parameter to compare different models is the FAD (Free Air Delivery). You can choose between:
- Fixed speed screw compressors, which flews a constant quantity of air from their starting ‘till they are switched off.
- Variabile speed screw compressors, which adapts the air flow to the daily air needs.
- Permanent motor air compressors, which combines the advantages of the variable speed with economic and energy savings.
Piston technology is suitable for discontinuous usage, which does not require a high airflow. The intaken air is a useful parameter to compare the different models. They are the ideal choice for hobbyists and professionals.
- Do-it-yourself compressors, compact and movable;
- Compressors for professionals, reliable and efficient
- Silent compressors, reliability at reduced noise
For some applications, the high quality of the product requires an oil-free compressor, a technology that avoids any oil contamination (Class 0, according to ISO 8573-1:2010). They are available with scroll, piston, and water injection technologies as well as at a different power:
- Scroll technology, modular and for small applications
- Piston technology, for a discontinuous usage requiring pure compressed air.
- Screw technology with water injection, for high air demand
When it comes to choosing the right compressor, the main principal aspects to consider in addition to the continuous/discontinuous usage are:
Maximum pressure (bar) depends on the tools and machines fueled by compressed air (for instance, car washing machines needs a 15 bar compressor).
Compressor power (HP) must be efficient to meet the air demand and the needed pressure.
In general, compressors are integrated with a compressed air tank, which lets you stock compressed air. The tanks’ size must be big enough to avoid the engine continuously switching on. Some models are equipped with a vertical tank, which is very useful in restricted spaces.
*Piston compressors’ data refers to the intake air; airflow (normally pointed as FAD) is lower
Maximum delivered air* (l/min o m3/h) is the quantity of air that the compressor can deliver in order to fuel pneumatic tools. To avoid oversizing your compressor and to keep the maximum safety margin, in general, users consider 30% of delivered airflow more than the estimated needs.
