Two compressors with the same power can have very different prices. Knowing what drives the cost helps you buy the machine that actually matches your needs.
The Seven Factors
- Compressor type: standard, two-stage, oil-free or gas.
- Power and flow rating.
- Motor technology: induction or permanent magnet.
- Air quality options: dryer and filtration.
- Enclosure and soundproofing.
- Control system: fixed-speed or VSD.
- Brand, warranty and certification.
How to Use This
- Specify only the options your application needs.
- Ask for itemised pricing to compare fairly.
- Prioritise efficiency when energy cost is high.
Is a cheaper compressor a better deal?
Only if it meets your duty and quality needs. A low-efficiency machine can cost far more in energy than its purchase price.
