In manufacturing facilities, the amount of compressed air needed can change over time depending on the market, new technologies and other factors. Depending on the increase or decrease in air requirements, you may find yourself purchasing new equipment or needing to downsize.
During your research for new equipment or ways to get rid of the equipment you no longer need, you may search online for “pre-owned industrial air compressors.” That one little search produces millions of results ranging from authorized dealers to less reputable sources. Who can you trust?
‘Let the Buyer Beware’
The simple fact is that buyers have less information about the quality of a piece of equipment than the seller, making transparency from the seller a vitally important factor in the purchase of pre-owned compressed air equipment. Before you decide to purchase a used air compressor or dryer, be sure to get answers to the following questions:
- Does the compressed air equipment come with a history of previous owners, use and service?
- Has the equipment received an adequate inspection?
- Has it been tested for quality?
- Were genuine parts from the original equipment manufacturer used during refurbishment?

No one wants to wade through millions of listings to find a trustworthy partner. That’s where Atlas Copco OriginAir comes in.
