FAQs

Duty cycle. A piston machine compresses in strokes and needs rest time; a rotary screw element compresses continuously, running cooler and quieter under sustained load. If air demand is steady through the shift — bodyshop lines, production tools, multiple bays — screw is the right technology. Intermittent demand is piston territory.

From measured or summed continuous demand, not horsepower. Add the CFM of everything that runs simultaneously, then choose a machine whose free air delivery comfortably exceeds it — screw compressors are happiest running loaded, and gross oversizing causes inefficient start-stop cycling. The delivery figure at rated pressure is on every product page.

If the air feeds paint, plasma cutting, control valves or quality-sensitive tools, yes — compressed air carries moisture that condenses downstream. Packages with integrated refrigerant dryers and receiver tanks are listed in the range, which keeps the installation to a single footprint.

Service by running hours: oil, oil-separator element, air filter and oil filter on the manufacturer's schedule, plus belt or coupling checks. It's routine and predictable — the machines are built for it — but skipping separator changes is the classic cause of oil carry-over and early element wear.

Screw Compressor

Screw compressors are the continuous-duty end of compressed air: rotary screw machines built to deliver air all shift, every shift, where piston compressors would overheat and wear. PartsForMachines supplies screw compressors to UK workshops, bodyshops and industrial users as an Authorised Distributor and Seller for SIP, with the range covering receiver-mounted and dryer-equipped packages for single-bay garages through to multi-line industrial demand.

The working difference is duty cycle: a rotary screw element compresses continuously rather than in strokes, so the machine runs cooler, quieter and longer under sustained load, with service intervals counted in running hours. The numbers on each product page are free air delivery in CFM or litres per minute at the rated pressure, motor power, receiver size where tank-mounted, noise level and supply requirement, with integrated refrigerant dryers on the packages feeding paint shops and air tools that demand dry air. Sizing rule: continuous demand should sit comfortably inside the machine's delivery, because a screw compressor wants to run loaded rather than start-stop.

Screw machines reward planned maintenance, with separator elements, oil and filters changed on hours, and those service items belong on the same purchase as the machine. Compare lines candidate packages up side by side, similar machines appear on each listing, and Ask Simon answers duty and sizing questions against the workshop's actual air demand.

For piston-compressor duties, the belt-drive, direct-drive and oil-free ranges sit in the same Compressors section. For three-phase supply questions, multi-bay fit-outs or compressed-air system planning, contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
