Hello World! Welcome Friends! Air compressors are a versatile tool, and nearly everyone will need to use one from time to time. Though they may be a bit of an investment, they are incredibly useful tools for virtually any industry. Whether you have an industrial air compressor installation Jacksonville FL or purchase a portable compressor model, here are some interesting uses for this tool.
Airbrush Painting
While it may seem to be a really out-of-the-box use of an air compressor, compressor-powered airbrush painting is actually fairly common. Depending on the size of the compressor, you may be able to acquire kits that allow it to be used for painting homes, vehicles or even small-scale projects such as home decor. You can check out compressor manuals in case your original is missing.
Weeding
An air compressor may be perfect for killing weeds without using harsh chemicals. With a special device that attaches to the compressor, you can use powdered walnut shells, corn gluten meal or ground stone fruit pits in a sand-blaster-like manner to destroy or strip weeds right out of the dirt. This is a relatively new technique, but it is a promising one for organic farming and related applications.
Nail Guns
Pneumatic (air-powered) nail guns and staplers are a common use for air compressors. They’re excellent for large and small building jobs alike, from structures to fences and everything in-between. In addition to saving time and energy needed for a project, they can also make the finished product look neater and more professional.
Cleaning
The pressurized air from air compressors is ideal for cleaning certain tools and equipment. To ensure the safety of yourself and others while using an air compressor for cleaning, be sure to wear proper protective equipment and direct the airflow away from yourself. Start on a low setting, and always test the compressor on an inconspicuous portion of the surface to ensure that it will not cause damage when used in this way.
Aquafarming
If you raise fish, you probably already know that they require clean water with certain levels of oxygen for maximum health. While traditional oxygenators and circulation systems do work just fine, it can be helpful to have air compressor-powered systems that can more efficiently and totally oxygenate the water, resulting in more consistent oxygenation and healthier fish.
Air compressors are an excellent addition to your tool repertoire. With a variety of uses in nearly every area, they can make your DIY tasks easier, make your projects look more polished and save you ample time and money.
