Agriculture

Agricultural and dairy operations use compressed air for sprayers, pneumatic conveying, milking systems, and grain handling. Our robust reciprocating compressors are built to perform reliably in dusty, demanding rural environments with simple, low-cost maintenance.

Farm and dairy compressed-air demand is highly seasonal: a pneumatic seed drill or planter runs hard for a few weeks at sowing time, while a packhouse or dairy CIP line needs steady daily air year-round. Spray equipment for pesticide and fertiliser application needs consistent, moderate pressure to keep droplet size uniform across a boom width — pressure that surges or sags with every tool change produces uneven coverage and wasted input cost.

Rural sites are typically dusty, run on unreliable grid power, and rarely have a dedicated maintenance technician on-site. That combination favours simple reciprocating compressors over more complex screw units: fewer electronics to fault-find, parts that a local mechanic can source, and tolerance for voltage fluctuation. Intake filtration matters more here than in a clean factory environment, since chaff, grain dust, and field dirt will shorten the life of an unfiltered machine within a single harvest season.
