Did you know compressed air is a quiet resource that’s behind some of your favourite products? It’s an invisible vital component in our daily lives and is used across industries including healthcare, production, and transport vehicles.
Explore the hidden benefits of compressed air and why it’s important in so many businesses and workplaces.
How does compressed air work?
Compressed air is taken from the atmosphere and then stored in pressurised compressors such as those made by Atlas Copco. It can then be used at a later stage.
It works by squeezing air into a smaller volume, which can then be released under pressure, which is controlled using a pressure regulator. It’s a hidden power source in countless situations.
Hidden Everyday Uses For Compressed Air
Keeping food and beverages fresher for longer.
Food and drinks are kept fresh in sealed, air-tight packaging. But have you ever wondered how that works? Compressed air powers bottling lines (keeping your drinks fizzy), bag sealers and filling machines.
Air compressors add an extra layer of hygiene by reducing the need for human contact in the packaging process.
Powering healthcare machinery.
Ever wonder how those intense power dental drills work? Well, compressed air powers them alongside other surgical devices and lab equipment.
Air compressors provide a seamless supply of clean, pressurised air that can help keep labs sterile and boost efficiency. They use pressure switches and air regulators to make sure the air is released at the right pressure for use.
Compressed air in your everyday comforts.
Did you know compressed air can be used to inflate and decorate your everyday items like tires, sports balls, air mattresses, nail guns and spray painters.
They’re indispensable in car repair workshops, powering the spray painting tools and inflating flat tyres. They’re also used in countless beauty salons to power equipment like spray tanners.
Daily transportation relies on compressed air.
Air brakes are commonly used in large vehicles, including buses and lorries. As mentioned earlier, they also keep your bike and car tyres full of pressurised air.
Pneumatic doors that you can find on public transport are powered by compressed air, too!
Cleaning public and industrial spaces.
Compressed air can power cleaning equipment for large industrial spaces where sterilising equipment is important for hygiene. It can be used in production plants, labs and more.
