Piston Compressors

Piston compressors can vary in size massively from smaller machines to huge machines suited to heavy industrial applications.

ACE are proud to be able to offer a selection of Champion piston compressors on our online shop which are well suited for garages and light industry and for both professional and semi-professional use.

Champion piston compressors are manufactured to the highest standard in quality and are reliable, efficient and cost-effective options for lighter industrial applications. They are also a great choice for garages, wood workshops, small steel applications, supermarkets and for applications where sprinkler systems are in use.

Piston machines compress air by drawing air into the compressor through a self-actuating valve which then seals so the air can’t escape. The piston then forces the air through a small hole in the valve, compressing it before it reaches its end use. The piston type compressor is the oldest and most common compressor mechanism.
