Air End Remanufacturing

Compressor Now has rotary screw remanufacturing available from 2 to 500 horsepower. air end rebuilds can be done on both stationary and portable screw machines. What is an air end? The air end is a crucial part of a rotary screw compressor, responsible for the actual compression process where air is drawn in, trapped, reduced in volume, and then discharged at a higher pressure. It is essentially the heart of the compressor, making its performance and reliability critical to the compressor’s overall efficiency and longevity. So when this becomes worn or inefficient your compressor will be less effective.

Why rebuild an air end?

  • It’s Cost-Effective: Rebuilding an air end is generally more cost-effective than purchasing a brand new air end or a new compressor unit. The cost of a rebuild can be a fraction of replacing the air end or compressor. This makes it a financially more attractive option, especially for businesses looking to minimize repair and equipment acquisition costs.
  • Extend Equipment Life: By rebuilding the air end, the life of the compressor can be significantly extended. This effectively maximizes the return on the original investment in the compressor equipment by ensuring it remains operational for a longer period.
  • Improve Efficiency: Rebuilding the air end can restore the compressor to its original efficiency levels or even improve them, depending on the extent of the rebuild and the technologies applied. This enhances the overall operational productivity of the compressor and can lead to energy savings.

Rebuild costs vary greatly by the specific unit but range between $2,400 to $43,000 for the stationary units we offer air end remanufacturing. For portable compressor air ends the costs range from $4,000 to $27,000 depending on the unit.
