Why Kaeser

We’re proud to be the Kaeser-authorized distributor for South Carolina and the Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio area. Kaeser is known for quality; its compressors are German-engineered for superior performance and maximum efficiency. Here are just a few reasons why your company may want to use a Kaeser compressor.

  • Energy efficiency: Energy makes up about 70% of the cost of your compressor over the next 10 years — more than purchase price and maintenance combined. Kaeser’s signature rotary design makes the most out of that money, putting out 20% more air per kilowatt than other brands.
  • Easy maintenance: Kaeser compressors’ cabinet design and quick fluid change system make maintenance faster, easier, and less expensive.
  • Expert engineering: Durable construction and precision-aligned design create a smoother, more efficient operation. With proper maintenance [link to preventive maintenance], Kaeser compressors outlast other brands of air compressors.
  • Space efficiency: Our compressors occupy a smaller footprint in your shop or factory and produce less noise. That’s safer for your workforce.
  • Reliability: Reliable operation means fewer interruptions in production. When properly maintained, Kaeser air compressors are far less likely to break down and cut into production time.

Custom engineered solution

Whether you call it our custom-engineered solution or a Kaeser air package, we can get you exactly what you need within the confines of your facility. Combine our Sigma rotary screw compressors with an integral refrigerated dryer, an appropriately sized receiver, and filtration to provide the required air quality level. These complete, ready-to-use systems put a complete air system in a small space — perfect for small commercial shops or factories. They’re also great for a backup system to keep critical equipment operating.
