The Pilot PAC Industrial 7.5-11-15KW – Australia’s leading industrial rotary screw air compressor

Air compressor machine

Pilot PAC air compressors are known throughout Australia for their legendary reliability. Pilot Air customers are spread across a broad range of industries.

Their feedback tells us that they require a compressor unit that never lets them down and has all the bells and whistles and enables them to get on with what they do best. And that is what Pilot Air’s Italian manufactured PAC industrial rotary screw air compressors deliver.

Pilot Air continues to service industries across Australia

You can find Pilot Air’s range of industrial rotary screw air-compressors working hard across a range of applications. The 7kw, 11kw, and 15kw are exceptionally popular in traditional workshops, including in the automotive industry, food manufacturing and processing, and many general manufacturing applications. Additionally, we have seen an upward shift in their usage in plasma cutting and stone masonry, where their design for continuous operation without performance loss and low air-end speeds that reduce wear and increase service life make them highly valuable assets.

Built for Australian conditions, the PAC Industrial rotary screw compressor delivers reliable performance across industries.”

The PAC Industrial 7.5-11-15KW Rotary Screw Mounted and Dryer is now the preferred unit for livestock management

Primary producers of all disciplines have long harboured a love of the land. Whether crop or livestock farming, their intention is to leave the property in a better place than they found it. For livestock farmers, care for their stock is a primary consideration. Through the great work being done by a Pilot Air customer, new innovations in the management of livestock are entering the market and Pilot Air is excited to be making a contribution.

“The automation of cattle handling equipment is proving highly cost-effective and makes cattle drafting safe, gentle and a breeze to operate.

The use of pneumatics or hydraulics within cattle yards to create powered gates and restraining equipment can be considered the beginning of and the basis from which a core operating centre can be automated. These gates still require a level of operator input, either via a hand-held remote control or a hand valve, as the operator still make the decision of when a gate is engaged to open or close. Therefore, this is not automation but more accurately ‘remote operation'”. Thompson Longhorn 

This level of automation would not be possible without the use of quality built air compressor and the good folk at Thompson Longhorn, who have developed new cattle drafting systems installed their designs with the PAC Industrial 15KW Rotary Screw Mounted and Dryer.
