Vertical Compressed Air Receiver
Compliant pressurised air storage for pressure stability, reduced compressor cycling, and reliable industrial compressed air supply.
Product Description
Vertical Compressed Air Receiver
Pressurised air storage for stable system pressure and improved compressor operating efficiency.
Vertical compressed air receivers act as storage vessels within compressed air systems, helping maintain stable pressure and ensuring a consistent air supply during fluctuating demand.
By storing compressed air, these receivers reduce compressor start-stop cycles, improve efficiency, and support longer service life for compressors and associated equipment.
When system demand rises suddenly, stored air is released to buffer pressure drops and maintain consistent performance across tools, machinery, and industrial processes.
Compliance and Vessel Configuration
Certified Vessel Construction and Connection Layout
Manufactured and inspected for compliant operation in South African industrial installations.
These vessels are manufactured in Italy to EURO PED standards and inspected locally by SANAS Accredited Inspection Authority engineers to meet SANS 347 requirements.
Each receiver is supplied with a safety valve and condensate drain, supporting safe operation and practical maintenance in compressed air systems.
Connection options and port sizes are configured for common industrial installation requirements across standard vessel capacities.

FAQ
FAQ - Vertical Compressed Air Receiver
Are these air receivers compliant with South African regulations?
Yes. Each receiver complies with SANS 347 requirements and is inspected locally by a SANAS Accredited Inspection Authority to ensure safe installation and operation.
Where are the air receivers manufactured?
The vessels are manufactured in Italy according to EURO PED standards and then inspected locally to meet South African compliance requirements.
What pressure rating do these receivers support?
The receivers are designed for operating pressures up to 11 bar G, making them suitable for most industrial compressed air systems.
Why is an air receiver important in a compressed air system?
Air receivers act as buffer storage tanks, stabilising system pressure, reducing compressor cycling, and helping maintain a consistent air supply during periods of increased demand.
How should air receivers be maintained?
Regular inspections should be performed to check for leaks, corrosion, or damage. Condensate should be drained regularly to prevent internal corrosion, and safety valves should be tested to ensure proper operation.
