Those things that air compressors contribute to agricultural production


China is a big agricultural country, but also an ancient agricultural country, and the land is the foundation. With the development of modern agriculture, our agricultural economy is gradually developing towards mechanization. Therefore, the air compressor officially entered the agricultural machinery industry. Air compressors have powered agricultural applications for decades, helping to create new efficient transportation methods and farm maintenance.


When it comes to air compressors, we first think of general mechanical equipment, which is widely used in industry, so today we will talk about those things that air compressors are doing for agricultural production.

In the daily agricultural production process, it is common for us to use air compressors to inflate tires on tractors, all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles, and to provide compressed air for pneumatic nailers and nailers. On farms with large machinery, compressed air is commonly used for:

● Spray painting: compressed air powered spray guns for spraying barns, farm sheds, fences and outbuildings. Using a spray gun provides an even flow and a smooth coating without adding time.

● Wastewater treatment: Some farms treat their wastewater on-site using low pressure blowers to provide air for their tank refills. The re-aeration process helps the aerobic bacteria to produce decomposing enzymes.

● Transporting materials: Compressed air powered conveying systems are used to transport grains, powders and granules into silos for storage. Vacuum is also a safe alternative to moving dry goods inside closed pipes without the risk of contamination.

● Clean production areas: Compressed air based cleaning systems are an easy and quick way to clean barn clearings and storage areas.

● Powering the water pump: The water pump can flow in compressed air instead of the electric pump that can fail during a storm.

People also use air compressors to spray pesticides and pesticides, prune trees, and smoke various produce. Forklifts used to harvest produce also need air compressors for power. At present, domestic air compressors are mainly used in transportation and cleaning, but with the passage of time, more uses will be revealed one by one.
