Who are Airlink compressors?

Welcome to Airlink Compressors, the UK's leading online supplier of premium compressed air equipment designed for every application—from DIY projects to demanding professional and industrial needs.

How does an airend work in a compressor?

Let’s take a look at how an airend functions in your compressor. As the air enters a compression chamber, the two interlocking helical rotors or screws turn in opposite directions, trapping the air and reducing the space between the rotors and casing, compressing the air. The rotors are powered by an electric motor directly or via a belt drive.

What is an airend in a rotary screw air compressor?

The airend is the secret sauce of any rotary screw air compressor. Where the advanced science of thermodynamics meets the exotic art of product development. It combines with a similarly proprietary air inlet valve to create the crown jewels of each manufacturer’s rotary screw air compressor design. It is the guts of the machine.

How does airend efficiency affect compressor performance?

The airend’s efficiency and integrity directly affect the performance of the compressor. The more efficient the airend, the more efficient the compressor, with the most efficient airend producing more air and using less energy. The design engineer’s goal: to get the most air flow with the least amount of energy.

What brands of air compressors are available?

Based in the UK, we specialise in a comprehensive range of piston and screw air compressors from trusted brands like Avelair, ABAC, Hertz Kompressoren, BEKO, and SIP, alongside essential accessories such as air pressure gauges, brass fittings, hose clamps, mould couplings, isolation ball valves, and pneumatic controls.

Which rotary screw air compressor is best?

Kaishan’s KRSP single-stage rotary screw air compressors are among the most cost-effective options on the market. However, a two-stage compressor like Kaishan’s KRSP2 premium rotary screw air compressor splits the compressor’s workload into a second stage, building on the pressure generated in the first stage.
