Custom Air Compressors

We understand that a standard, off-the-shelf air compressor may not be the optimal solution for every application. In some situations, a unique custom-built system is the perfect compressed air solution.

Assessment

Your dedicated account managers and a team of compressed air experts will work with you to assess your business needs and technical specifications, and provide advice about the right solution.

“Built for Australian conditions and trusted by Sydney — every custom compressor is designed to meet your unique demands.”

Design

Our technical production team takes over during the design phase, using the assessment brief to deliver a fully customised compressed air system.

Manufacture

Once the design is complete and approved, our compressed air manufacturers take over at our own manufacturing plant in Silverwater, Sydney.

Installation

Your customised compressed air system is tested before leaving the warehouse and delivered and installed by our team of specialist compressed air experts.

“When standard solutions aren’t enough, our engineers deliver custom air compressor systems that fit your business perfectly.”

Service and maintenance

As with any of Pilot Air’s products, we guarantee continued service and maintenance to ensure your product is running efficiently.

Our custom units are built in Silverwater, Sydney, using materials and designs that withstand heat, dust, and heavy duty cycles. With full local support, you get something that’s rugged, reliable, and ready for Australian environments. Check our Compressed Air Products to see examples.

How is the custom compressor process carried out?

First, our experts assess your business needs. Then the design team creates a specific system, which we manufacture in-house. Finally, we deliver and commission the compressor with ongoing Service & Maintenance to ensure it keeps performing.

Are spare parts and service provided for custom compressor systems?

Yes — we maintain a large stock of spare parts and provide service & maintenance for all custom systems. You’ll never be left hanging when you need support. See our Air Compressor Spares page for details.
