Air Compressor for Plastic Manufacturing

In plastic manufacturing, compressed air is a critical utility that powers various operations, from injection molding and extrusion to material conveying and cooling systems. PRS Compressors offers high-performance screw and piston air compressors designed to handle the continuous, high-demand air requirements of plastic production lines.

Whether you’re producing PET bottles, molded containers, or plastic parts, our compressors ensure uninterrupted airflow, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. PRS oil-free compressors deliver clean, contamination-free air ideal for sensitive plastic applications, while our oil-lubricated models are engineered for robust industrial use.

Which type of air compressor is ideal for PET bottle manufacturing?

Oil-free screw compressors combined with booster compressors are ideal for PET applications, as they provide clean, high-pressure air needed for bottle blowing without contamination.

Can I use an oil-lubricated compressor for injection molding?

Yes. For general plastic molding where air purity isn’t a major concern, oil-lubricated screw compressors offer cost-effective and powerful performance, suitable for continuous-duty operations.

Is air quality important in plastic production?

Absolutely. Clean, dry air ensures precision, prevents product defects, and protects machinery. PRS compressors can be paired with dryers and filters to deliver the right air quality for every application.

How do I choose between piston and screw compressors for plastic production?

Choose screw compressors for large-scale, continuous production, and piston compressors for small-scale or intermittent tasks like operating pneumatic tools or trimming machines.
