Horizontal Compressed Air Receiver
Low-profile pressurised air storage for stable pressure control, reduced compressor cycling, and reliable industrial compressed air supply.
Product Description
Horizontal Compressed Air Receiver
Low-profile receiver storage that buffers pressure fluctuations and supports efficient compressor operation.
Horizontal compressed air receivers serve as storage vessels in compressed air systems, helping maintain stable pressure and providing reserve air during increased demand.
By storing compressed air within the vessel, the receiver smooths out pressure fluctuations and reduces compressor start-stop cycling, improving overall efficiency.
This buffering effect helps protect compressors, pneumatic tools, and downstream equipment from pressure instability and unnecessary mechanical wear.
Compliance and Vessel Configuration
Certified Construction and Port Layout
Manufactured and inspected for compliant operation in South African industrial installations.
These vessels are manufactured in Italy according to EURO PED standards and inspected by SANAS Accredited Inspection Authority engineers to ensure SANS 347 compliance.
Each receiver is supplied with a safety valve and condensate drain for reliable and safe industrial operation.
Horizontal receiver layout is particularly suitable for installations with limited height or where a low-profile vessel footprint is required.

FAQ
FAQ - Horizontal Compressed Air Receiver
Are these air receivers compliant with South African regulations?
Yes. All vessels comply with SANS 347 requirements and are inspected locally by a SANAS Accredited Inspection Authority to ensure safe installation and operation.
Where are the air receivers manufactured?
The receivers are manufactured in Italy according to EURO PED standards and verified through local SANAS AIA inspection for compliance.
What pressure rating do the receivers support?
The receivers are designed for operating pressures up to 11 bar G, making them suitable for most industrial compressed air systems.
Why use a horizontal receiver instead of a vertical one?
Horizontal receivers are ideal where installation height is limited or where system layout requires a lower profile storage vessel.
How should air receivers be maintained?
Regular inspections should be performed to check for leaks or corrosion, condensate should be drained regularly, and safety valves should be tested to ensure safe operation.
