Vehicle Service Industry
When your air compressors fail, your entire service shop stops working. Unreliable compressors mean dead air tools, delayed schedules and unsatisfied customers. At Chicago Pneumatic, we build reliable, cost-effective compressed air systems that keep vehicle service locations, body shops and auto dismantlers moving at full speed.
High-Quality Industrial Air Compressors for Vehicle Maintenance
Your shop's workflow depends on having enough air pressure to power your tools and equipment. Our QRS rotary screw compressors for car repair handle constant start-stop cycles without wearing out like outdated units. Whether running impact wrenches or powering paint guns, these compressors maintain steady pressure that keeps your tools performing at their best.
Features that make the QRS line perfect for automotive shops include:
- Standard quiet enclosures: Noise reduction lets your team communicate clearly while air tools operate. Additionally, customers won't have to shout over compressor noise when discussing repair estimates.
- TEFC motor: The totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) design guards against dust, oil mist and chemical vapors. This protection means the motor can keep running in the harshest conditions.
- Smart controllers with ICONS (models with 10 horsepower and up): You can check system status and adjust settings from your phone without walking to the compressor room. You can also set schedules to reduce energy costs during off-hours and get alerts before problems cause downtime.
- Flexible installation options: Choose floor mounting for easy access, tank mounting for air storage or tank mounting with a dryer for paint work that needs dry air. Each configuration fits different shop layouts and space limitations.
Our CPM, CPVSd and CPBg lines provide alternatives for smaller shops or specialized applications. Variable-speed models save energy by matching air production to actual tool usage throughout the day.
Compressed Air Systems for Tire Inflation, Car Repair and More
Our rotary screw compressors for car repair are ideal for various applications in a typical shop, including:
- Tire services: Inflate tires to the precise manufacturer specifications and quickly remove and reinstall the wheel lug nuts.
- Paint and bodywork: Power spray guns that apply primer, paint and clear coat with the consistent pressure needed for professional-quality finishes.
- Vehicle lifting: Operate hydraulic lifts that safely raise cars and trucks for undercarriage work, brake jobs and exhaust system repairs.
- Pneumatic tools: Supply steady air flow to impact wrenches, air ratchets, drills, grinders, sanders and more.
Compressed Air Treatment
Vehicle work exposes your air system to more contaminants than most industries. Metal particles from grinding, oil vapors from engine work and moisture from washing bays try to get into your air lines. Our treatment systems trap these contaminants before they can damage your valuable equipment.
Painting requires the cleanest air possible because even tiny oil drops can ruin an entire paint job. Our multi-stage filtration removes oil carryover from the compressor and strips out water vapor that causes fish-eyes and other finish defects. The money you save on paint rework alone pays for the treatment system quickly.
Moisture removal is critical in winter when water in the air lines can freeze and stop tools from working. Our refrigerated dryers keep your air lines flowing even when shop temperatures drop, allowing your team to stay productive.
