It is no surprise that with the increase in demand for high quality air compressors, several manufacturers are continuing to perfect the quality and standards for these devices.
You can find at least a dozen very well-known and respected air compressor manufacturers. Most of these companies adhere to the strict quality and safety standards as set forth by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This governing body is responsible for regulating air compressors and all of their certified products will be labeled accordingly.
One of the most popular air compressor manufacturers in the United States is Sullivan-Palatek, located in Indiana. This company prides itself on creating some of the most advanced engine-driven air compressors on the market, both in terms of quality and safety. These air compressors are among the most energy-efficient available. They also offer used air compressors and air compressor rentals.
Atlas Copco Compressors Inc. is also a very well respected authority in air compressor manufacturing. Located in Massachusetts, Atlas Copco has been in business for several decades. They specialize in both portable and stationary air compressors. Their popular stationary models include lubricated, oil-free, PET, centrifugal air & gas and turbo expanders.
These three companies are just a few examples of the fine air compressor manufacturers located in the United States. With decades of experience, most of the companies that manufacture air compressors are continually striving to make them better. They are in a continual process of advancing features to make air compressors affordable, long lasting, safe, and energy-efficient. When choosing an air compressor manufacturer, you should probably choose one that has been tested and certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Many states only allow the sale of devices certified by the organization. This group has set rigorous quality and safety standards that should be applied to most air compressor models.
