Tyre changes and service are core aspects of any automotive workshop. Whether it's seasonal tyre changes or replacing a puncture, having the right equipment can make all the difference between a smooth experience and a frustrating one. One often underestimated but crucial tool is the air compressor. In this blog post, we will discuss why a high-performance compressor is essential for tyre changes.
Speed and efficiency
In a workshop, time is money. A powerful compressor makes it easy to remove lug nuts with an impact wrench and to quickly inflate tyres. Compared to less powerful equipment, a high-quality compressor significantly reduces the time needed for loosening and inflating, which is especially important when multiple vehicles need servicing simultaneously. Faster and more efficient tyre changes not only improve customer service but also boost workshop productivity.
Precise pressure control
Another key benefit of a high-quality compressor is the ability to precisely control tyre pressure. This is where external digital measurement devices come into play, as they enable precise pressure adjustment. Why is this so important? Correct tyre pressure is crucial for driving safety, fuel consumption, and tyre service life. In a workshop where safety comes first, precise pressure control is indispensable.
Versatility
A compressor isn't just limited to loosening lug nuts and inflating tyres. In an automotive workshop, they also provide compressed air for lifts, grinders, and spray guns. This versatility makes the compressor a must-have tool, significantly reducing the need for multiple devices and delivering significant savings.
Reliability
High-quality compressors are typically more robust and durable. Even with frequent use, they operate reliably without overheating or breaking down. In a workshop where multiple tyre changes are performed each and every day, it is crucial that the compressed air supply runs smoothly.
A worry-free compressor that delivers!
From tyre inflation to powering pneumatic tools, EUROCOMP series compressors are designed for daily workshop use.
Stationary EUROCOMP (EPC) reciprocating compressors from KAESER are particularly successful in automotive and tyre service workshops. The choice of horizontal, vertical or free-standing air receivers means these powerful all-rounders can be installed in any location, even in the smallest of workshops.
- Quality compressor block from KAESER – Made in Germany
- High-quality materials and meticulous assembly ensure high air output and long service life
- Efficient aluminium ring-profile aftercooler keeps compressed air temperatures low and offers effective touch protection thanks to its unique design
- Direct coupling of motor and compressor block optimises efficiency and reduces operating costs
- Double vibration isolation ensures vibration-free operation
- Available with optional soundproofing enclosures. This reduces the already low sound pressure level by up to 10 dB(A)
More power for tyre changes
Two-stage EUROCOMP compressors transform your workshop into a truly professional operation. With a maximum pressure of 15 bar, these powerful reciprocating compressors deliver the performance necessary to meet all of your workshop needs. The advantage is clear: Seamless tyre fitting and inflation. The high air output also ensures that tyres are seated perfectly in the rim bed as needed. (Boosters)
