Benefits of Flat Wire Springs
You don’t have to look very deeply into your air compressor unit to realize that springs are the life of your device. Springs receive an enormous amount of pressure and have to function perfectly thousands or millions of times a day to execute efficient production. Springs, whether round or flat wire springs, are therefore vulnerable…
Read MoreCompressor Valve Springs are the Heart of a Compressor
Let’s just put it out there. Valve failures are the biggest cause of unscheduled compressor shutdowns, which can be costly in terms of production and manpower losses, and valve springs are the biggest cause of those failures. Therefore, controlling costs of an unscheduled shutdown due to mechanical failure means creating longer-lived compressors and that,…
Read MoreIdeas for Extending the Life of Compression Valves
Time is money. That is one saying that rings true in every business and every walk of life. For manufacturing businesses, when something stops working, or stops working well, that means you are losing money. According to Emerson Process Management, its customers report that they have “lost more than $300,000 in parts, labor and…
Read MoreCompressor Valve Parts are not Just Parts
Your business is like a machine with many parts and functions. When one of those parts breaks down or stops, it could bring business to a halt. The same scenario applies to compressors, which can be said to be machines with many parts. Compressors could also be considered “parts” of other machines. For compressor…
Read MoreWhy Life is Better With Lantern Rings
In many machines, especially those that require a pump mechanism with outside lubrication in order to operate, fluids must be transferred from one part of the pump to another. This process is made significantly smoother with the use of lantern rings. They protect the packing from chemicals and abrasives while keeping things cool and…

Speaking with a qualified professional about your compressor valve needs is recommended for anyone wanting to manufacture a high quality product. Compressor valves are used in a wide variety of industries, and choosing wisely between different materials, cuts, sizes and finishes could make or break your operation. You can select from a wide variety of…
Read MoreParts of Steel: Why Metal Valve Components are Better
Manufacturing internal parts for compressor valves is a painstaking and highly specialized industry. As in every professional field, developments in design and materials bring on changes in even the seemingly smallest of parts. Take wafer plates, for example. Technological advances have led to sophisticated silicone valve parts, including wafer plates, which are an integral component…

There are a myriad of uses your compressor might have. Perhaps it is used, as it commonly is, in industries such as aerospace, medical manufacturing, electronics, automotive manufacturing and dozens of other industries where compressors play an integral part in the process of manufacturing and developing products. Compressors are an invaluable resource, but what…
Read MoreGive Your Compressor an Organ Transplant
Your compressor has served you well, but lately it has been getting tired, or has tired out completely. Time for a whole new unit? Wait – because that solution is likely to cost you a small fortune. Thankfully, most of your compressor’s internal organs are replaceable, but again, not so fast, as some replacement…
Read MoreFind a Quality Conical Compression Spring for Your Project
A conical compression spring typically withstands more pressure than a standard spring because of its innovative design. A cone shaped compression spring has a wide base that tapers to a smaller top. This shape allows it to keep going while more traditional springs buckle and break. Replacing your outdated springs with a newer model…
