Air compressors in Glasgow

Glasgow built ships for the world, and the Clyde still has yards at Govan and Scotstoun working on naval and marine projects. Around them, steel fabricators, marine engineers and blasting and coating firms keep the industrial tradition alive. Hillington Park, south of the river, is one of the largest business parks in Scotland, with manufacturers, food producers and distributors. Further east, Cambuslang, Shawfield, Polmadie and Queenslie host fabrication units, haulage depots and vehicle workshops. In every one of these places compressed air powers grinders, blasting pots, impact wrenches and packaging machines, and a compressor that fails stops the work.

Buying a screw compressor in Glasgow

For a workshop that needs air through most of the shift, a screw compressor is the right choice: it compresses continuously and is made for long running hours. Our S series runs from 5.5 to 132 kW, with the S 220 PM using a permanent magnet motor and variable speed for demand that varies between jobs. The K series 4-in-1 combines the compressor, receiver, refrigerated dryer and filtration in one unit, which helps in a damp climate where water in the air lines is a constant issue.

For yard and site work, the M series mobile screw compressors can be moved from one job to the next. Prices excl. VAT are published on every product page. For a specific project, request a quote: we recommend the model, pressure and accessories that suit your real air use.
