Compressed Air Solutions for Woodworking Industry

Here are a few ways a compressor is used in woodworking industry:

Pneumatic Tools

Compressed air is used to power pneumatic tools commonly used in woodworking, such as nail guns, staplers, and brad nailers. These tools rely on the pressure created by the compressor to drive fasteners into wood quickly and efficiently.

Spray Finishing

Compressed air is used in spray finishing applications, including applying stains, paints, varnishes, and lacquers to wood surfaces. Air compressors power paint sprayers, allowing for smooth and even application of finishes.

Dust Collection

Woodworking generates a significant amount of sawdust and debris. Compressors can power dust collection systems, which use suction to remove airborne particles and keep the work area clean. The compressed air creates the necessary suction to collect and transport the sawdust through the system.

Sanding and Cleaning

Compressed air is used for sanding applications, either through a handheld pneumatic sander or by blowing air to remove dust and debris from surfaces. It is also employed to clean workpieces, tools, and the work area by blowing away loose particles.

Woodturning

Compressed air is often used in woodturning to clean dust from delicate areas of turned objects or to assist in drying certain finishes that require air circulation.

When selecting screw air compressor in woodworking industry, the following problems need to be considered:

1. Air compressor power

How much power is selected mainly depends on the gas equipment of the enterprise. The model of the air compressor is selected according to the gas consumption!
The exhaust volume is also one of the main parameters of the air compressor. The air volume of the air compressor shall match the exhaust volume required by yourself, and a 10% margin shall be reserved.

2. What is the flow of the air compressor

When determining the volumetric flow of the air compressor, the total volumetric flow of all gas consuming equipment shall be calculated first, and then multiplied by 1.2 to expand the margin by 20%

3. Determine the pressure of the air compressor

When purchasing an air compressor, first determine the working pressure required at the air end, add a margin of 1-2bar, and then select the pressure of the air compressor. This selection mainly takes into account the pressure loss of the air compressor.

4. Brand of air compressor

The performance and price of different brands are also different. It is recommended to choose a brand screw air compressor with good quality, so as to reduce the incidence of failure from the source.
