Air compressor storage and dryers

Three different sizes of air compressor storage tank

Air compressor storage and dryers from Pilot Air complement our Aussie-manufactured air compressors for small, mid and large-scale business operations. More than just Australia’s leading designer and manufacturer of compressed air units, we offer complete end-to-end solutions with custom-fitted compressed air storage, dryers, air treatment and distribution systems.

Pilot Air stocks the largest range of vertical and horizontal compressed air storage units. Our vertical tanks come in a range of standard sizes from 150L to 1000L capacity, and have a rating to 1100kpa and an industrial-grade finish. Our vertical compressed air storage tanks are manufactured to AS1210 and provided with the manufacturer’s data report.

They come as standard with a safety valve, pressure gauge and a manual condensate drain. We also custom-manufacture vertical receivers for any application.

“Built for Australian conditions, our air storage tanks and dryers deliver safe, reliable performance in the harshest environments.”

Horizontal compressed air storage solutions

From 45L to 500L, Pilot Air has a range of horizontal air receivers for compressed air storage suitable for any application. We can customise a horizontal storage solution using the same high-quality materials and fittings.

Pilot Air’s horizontal compressed air storage tanks are manufactured in Australia to AS1210 from industrial-grade enamel. They come with the manufacturer’s data report and safety valve, pressure gauge and manual condensate drain as standard inclusions.

Our vertical and horizontal configurations perfectly complement our air compressor units and are used Australia-wide. Recognised for their durability, reliability and manufacturing expertise, they are the storage tank of choice for commercial and industrial customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of storage tanks does Pilot Air offer, and what standards do they meet?

Pilot Air offers both vertical and horizontal compressed air storage tanks. Our vertical tanks range from 150 L to 1000 L, are rated up to 1100 kPa, manufactured to AS 1210, supplied with a manufacturer’s data report, safety valve, pressure gauge, and manual condensate drain. See more details in the Compressed Air Storage section.

How are the dryers designed to withstand harsh Australian conditions?

Our refrigerated air dryers are rated for ambient temperatures up to 35 °C, include features such as an upgraded electronic control panel, hot-gas bypass valves and condensate drains, and are sized to remove moisture before it damages downstream equipment. Full specs are in the Air Compressor Storage and Dryers page.

Why is air storage important in a compressed air system for industrial or commercial applications?

Storage tanks help buffer peak demand, reduce compressor cycling, stabilise pressure, and allow smoother operation. Pilot Air’s storage tanks are built tough with industrial-grade enamel finishes and AS 1210 compliance, which is particularly important under Australia’s heat, dust, and continuous running conditions. More on this under Storage.

What maintenance and safety features come standard with storage and dryer units?

Our storage tanks and dryers include safety valves, pressure gauges, manual condensate drains, and manufacturer’s data reports. Dryers also have oversized condensate drains and control panels that help detect performance issues early. All these are standard in our Air Compressor Storage & Dryers product line.
