Compressed Air Storage

Pilot Air supplies both vertical and horizontal air receivers, in capacities ranging from around 100 L to 1000 L, designed to match different system sizes and space constraints. You can view the full range on the Compressed Air Storage page.

Air storage helps smooth out pressure fluctuations, reduces compressor cycling, improves efficiency, and ensures sufficient airflow during peak demand periods. Pairing storage with proper compressor selection under the Industrial Air Compressors range helps build reliability.

Yes — tanks are built to handle high pressures (around 1100 kPa), high temperatures, and harsh environments. They’re painted/coated for corrosion resistance, include thick materials suitable for rugged use, and are made locally in NSW.

You should consider your compressor’s output (CFM/LPM), duty cycle, pressure, and the worst-case demand periods. If your system has bursts of high demand, a larger receiver can help maintain stable pressure. For guidance, see our Air Compressor Storage & Dryers section for paired solutions.

Yes — storage tanks should be inspected and maintained (e.g. to check safety valves, welds, corrosion) to ensure they stay safe and functional. Pilot Air offers service & spare parts support via the Air Compressor Service & Quality and Air Compressor Spares pages
