Air compressors in Cardiff

Cardiff grew as a coal and steel port, and industry still lines the east of the city. Around the docks at Cardiff Bay and Butetown, and along Splott, Tremorfa and Rumney, you find steel processing, metal fabricators, building suppliers and haulage yards. Wentloog and the Cardiff Gate and Pentwyn estates near the M4 host distribution centres, food producers and light manufacturing, while Penarth Road, Leckwith and Ely Bridge are full of garages, body shops and trade counters. A short drive away, Treforest, Newport and Barry add engineering and chemical sites. Compressed air drives their grinders, spray guns, tyre changers and packing lines, and a stopped compressor means a stopped business.

Buying a screw compressor in Cardiff

When air is used for most of the day, a screw compressor is the right machine: it compresses continuously and is built for long running hours. Our S series runs from 5.5 to 132 kW, and the S 220 PM pairs a permanent magnet motor with variable speed for sites whose demand rises and falls between shifts. The K series 4-in-1 brings the compressor, receiver, refrigerated dryer and filtration together, which suits food plants and paint shops that need dry, clean air.

For a garage or a small fabrication unit with intermittent use, a 7.5 kW piston compressor from the E series is often enough. Prices excl. VAT are published on every product page. For a specific project, request a quote: we recommend the model, pressure and accessories that match your real air use.
