5 Important Industries That Require Air Compressors - Max-Air

You might be surprised that many types of industries use air compressors. They&#;re an efficient and effective supply of power for various use cases.

For more information, please visit NAILI.

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in the production of your trusted vehicle? Or maybe you&#;ve thought about your favorite beer and would like to learn more about how it&#;s made.

In regards to your every-day items, you&#;ve probably never thought about how air compressors come into play.

If you&#;d like to learn more about how modern industries utilize compressors, keep reading!

1. Automotive

The automotive industry has used air compressors for a long time. Compressor-run power tools cut back on time requirements in shops and factories. These jack-of-all-trades tools make excellent additions to any paint or detailing business.

Most automotive manufacturing companies use compressors on their assembly floors. The automation and easy use of compression powered tools mean they can produce cars at an accelerated pace.

2. Agricultural

Compressors are a big part of the agricultural industry as well.

For example, dairy farms use air powered pumps for milking cows. Also, compressors can be used for water production, fertilizer, pesticide sprayers, and even to help eradicate greenhouse gasses.

For the agricultural industry, investing in an air compressor system will keep the day-to-day of any farm running smoothly.

3. Air Purification for First Responders

When it comes to purifying air, many would not expect a compressor to play such a huge role. However, one of the most effective methods of keeping the air we breathe clean is to pressurize it.

Many fire departments have begun to invest in mobile air purification systems that allow their teams to breathe easy in life-threatening environments.

Also, in most SCUBA equipment you can find pressurized air systems. This makes it a great tool for our military personnel who may need to take part in water rescues or missions.

4. Woodworking

Another industry where compressors are used is in woodworking. For woodworkers everywhere, compressors make life easy. From compressed air drills and nail guns to even stain guns, these tools can be found in nearly every construction site.

Furniture manufacturing is another big user of air compressors. When it comes to pressed wood for tables, shelves, and even flooring, compressors can get the job done.

5. Breweries

Last but definitely not least is the brewing industry.

How exactly is your favorite beer made? Often, it&#;s with compressors! What will probably surprise you is that some air compressors play a vital role in beer production.

In regards to taste, CO2 and Nitrogen are often the gases that make your favorite beer taste good. And, to get the proper amounts of each in your draught, you&#;ll need an air compressor.

A Designs Audio HM2 Compressor Nail 2-Channel ...

Awarded a &#;Mix Certified Hit&#; by Mix magazine, the A-Designs Audio HM2 NAIL Compressor/Limiter has three unique features that set it apart from ordinary compressors: Hard Threshold, Filter, and Mix. But that&#;s not where it ends. The NAIL&#;s tube circuitry and components were specifically chosen and designed to impart the rich, euphonic sound of analog to digital recording&#;enabling it to confidently &#;ride&#; the 2-bus in a place of prominence. And while the NAIL can add character to any sound, it can also work transparently in the background&#;all at the engineer&#;s discretion. Not just for the 2-bus, its ability to switch from linked stereo to dual mono makes it a great tracking compressor as well. Better still, on a stereo mix, using dual mono offers the added bonus of making the mix sound wider, as though it extends beyond the left/right boundaries of the speakers.

Threshold, Hard Threshold and Variable Sidechain Filter
Upon inspecting the NAIL&#;s highly attractive custom-milled aluminum knobs and faceplate, you&#;ll notice the absence of a ratio control. In its place are Threshold and Hard Threshold. With Hard Threshold turned off, Threshold acts much like an LA-2A by increasing gain reduction. Attack and release controls become somewhat irrelevant in this mode and the NAIL becomes a model of simplicity; set its threshold and gain, and let the NAIL work its magic.   

For those who like to dig deeper, Hard Threshold opens up a world of compression-/envelope-shaping possibilities. Like the hard knee of a traditional compressor, Hard Threshold works in conjunction with the Filter, which is a variable high-pass filter continuously controllable from 8Hz to 250Hz. Once the Hard Threshold is crossed, the NAIL will apply desired compression above the selected frequency, and less to the frequencies below. This prevents the greater energy of bass from triggering unwanted compression and ducking the entire mix. Filter also lets you enhance bottom end for bass-heavy music without throwing the mix&#;s entire frequency spectrum out of whack, as a multi-band compressor often does.   

Put simply, the combination of Threshold, Hard Threshold, and Filter allow you to dial in amount of compression, at what level it will engage, and above which frequencies it will act. Ratio is always self-adjusting in response to program material.   

Attack, Release, Gain and Metering
The HM2 NAIL&#;s remaining continuously variable controls include Attack, Release, and Gain, which function as expected. However, Attack and Release are dependent on the settings of the Hard Threshold and also respond dynamically to program material, making for a more forgiving and musical response than traditional &#;once size fits all&#; attack/release circuits. Other functions include compressor In/Out for quick A/B comparison; Stereo Link/Dual Mono; and Gain Reduction/Level for metering, all controlled via toggle switch. Speaking of meters, the NAIL&#;s LED meter was chosen for it&#;s ultra fast response and the ability to see it clearly from across a dark-lit control room.

Mix Control
The HM2 NAIL&#;s Mix knob offers continuously variable control between direct (dry) and compressed signal. Particularly useful for DAW mixing, Mix enables you to apply parallel compression to a submix without losing two channels of A/D/A for an aux send/return. And of course, you can also use it on an overall mix to add size and depth, or during tracking.   As its name suggests, when it comes to putting the finishing touches on a final mix, the A-Designs HM2 Compressor Nails it!
