Compressed Air Tanks

Difference in tank surface finish and recommended usage:

Painted tank:

The tank is painted only on the outside, and the internal surface is a standard untreated steel surface, which will oxidize (rust) when in contact with condensate. Therefore, a painted tank is advisable to be used in a compressed air system after a compressed air dryer to prevent tank rusting and ensure a longer lifespan, as well as to avoid rust particles from entering the air dryer.

Galvanized tank:

The tanks are coated with a zinc layer both inside and out, which protects them from rust formation. These tanks are generally very durable. They are good to use in a compressed air system both before and after a compressed air dryer. However, when installed before the air dryer, it is advisable to place an automatic water separator under the tank to avoid excessive liquid buildup in the tank, in case the manual drain valve is forgotten.

All tanks are made in the European Union, CE marked, tested, and come with the necessary pressure vessel certificates.
