How rotary screw air compressors benefit Australian agriculture

By Tim Wylie - General Manager May 16, 2025

First, we need to tip the hat to our agricultural industry and the hardworking, down-to-earth individuals and families who dedicate their careers and lives to the land. Australia has been seen as a pioneer in the agricultural industry. Inventive, creative, and ultra-resourceful are words that come to mind when discussing farmers, growers, and livestock professionals.

Pilot Air has long been entrenched in the industry through our distribution network, with nationwide representation. Customers from inland New South Wales and Queensland have produced some of our more interesting and unique stories, and we are proud of our association.

A story from the sector involving one of our air compressors prompted this article on how rotary screw air compressors and portable air compressors influence and contribute to agricultural operations and the benefits these systems provide.

Pilot Air Reviews

We have a growing manufacturing business and our air supply needed to be upgraded to deliver to a clean volume of air to specific machines and mainly our spray booth. 3 Months ago the team at Pilot Air evaluated our requirement and delivered an excellent solution, we have had time to run the system for a considerable time and found it to be excellent. Also Australian Manufactured to boot. Very Happy.

My husband recently bought a second hand Trademaster 12 air compressor in need of some maintenance. He took it to the Silverwater servicing centre with no prior arrangement. The staff were polite, obliging, and eager to help, and he was impressed with the service provided. Well done Pilot Air!

Donna Slater
