Electric Air Compressors (Oil Lubricated)
Brabazon Pump, Compressor and Vacuum supplies electric (oil lubricated) air compressors engineered for reliable, energy-efficient performance in demanding industrial settings. Serving manufacturers, processors, and industrial facilities across Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Green Bay, and the greater Midwest since 1978, Brabazon is your authorized dealer for top-tier electric compressor brands including Sullair, Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, and Kaishan.
Why Choose Electric Air Compressors?
Electric air compressors are the most common choice for fixed industrial applications. Unlike gas or diesel-powered units, electric compressors offer consistent power delivery, lower operating costs, and minimal emissions — making them ideal for indoor facilities, clean rooms, and production environments where air quality matters.
Key advantages of electric air compressors include lower energy costs per CFM of compressed air produced, quieter operation compared to gas-powered alternatives, simpler maintenance requirements and longer service intervals, and compatibility with Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology for energy savings of 20–35%.
Types of Electric Air Compressors We Carry
Our electric compressor lineup spans rotary screw, piston (reciprocating), and centrifugal technologies to match every application:
Rotary Screw Compressors — The workhorse of industrial facilities. Rotary screw models deliver continuous, high-volume compressed air at pressures from 100 to 200+ PSI. Oil-lubricated designs provide superior cooling and longevity. Available in fixed-speed and Variable Speed Drive (VSD) configurations from 5 HP to 500+ HP.
Piston / Reciprocating Compressors — Ideal for intermittent-duty applications. Piston compressors offer high pressure capability (up to 6,000 PSI for specialty models), simple mechanics, and proven reliability. Well-suited for automotive shops, smaller manufacturing operations, and backup applications.
Centrifugal Compressors — Designed for high-volume, continuous-duty applications exceeding 200 HP. Oil-free by nature and capable of delivering thousands of SCFM, centrifugal units are common in large-scale petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and steel processing operations.
Applications We Serve
Brabazon's electric air compressors power compressed air systems across a wide range of industries and applications throughout the Midwest, including: manufacturing and metal fabrication, food and beverage processing, automotive assembly and painting, plastics and rubber processing, pharmaceutical production, woodworking and furniture manufacturing, packaging and bottling lines, and power generation facilities.
