Used CompAir Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

CompAir's origins stretch back to 1801, when Holman Bros Ltd was founded in Camborne, Cornwall, England, making it one of the oldest names in compressed air technology. The modern CompAir brand was formed in 1968 when Holman merged with Broomwade to create the International Compressed Air Corporation, which was subsequently renamed CompAir. After several ownership changes, Gardner Denver acquired CompAir in late 2008, and the brand later became part of Ingersoll Rand, giving it the global manufacturing and distribution infrastructure of one of the world's largest industrial equipment groups. CompAir's primary engineering and product development hub remains in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, with manufacturing facilities in Simmern, Germany and other locations worldwide.

The heart of CompAir's product offering is its L-Series of lubricated rotary screw air compressors, a range that spans from compact 7 kW workshop units such as the L07 and L11 up to large-capacity machines exceeding 250 kW. The L-Series is available in fixed-speed and regulated-speed (RS) variable-frequency-drive configurations, as well as high-efficiency e-models, and can be supplied as complete airstations with integrated receiver and refrigerant dryer. Alongside the lubricated L-Series, CompAir produces the D-Series and DH-Series of oil-free rotary screw compressors, the water-injected Dryclon range, and the flagship Ultima oil-free compressor, which meets ISO 8573-1 Class Zero air purity and features CompAir's proprietary U-Drive permanent magnet synchronous motor technology. The C-Series covers portable diesel-driven rotary screw compressors for construction and site work, while the Hydrovane division supplies rotary vane compressors for OEM and general industrial use.

CompAir air compressors are specified across a broad range of end markets. Food and beverage producers rely on the oil-free ranges to meet strict contamination standards for direct-contact applications such as product handling, filling, and nitrogen generation. Pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers choose CompAir for its Class Zero-certified air purity. Automotive and electronics plants use both lubricated and oil-free models to power assembly tooling, painting, and precision processes. Construction, mining, and general industrial operations depend on the portable C-Series and stationary L-Series for continuous-duty compressed air supply.

Used CompAir air compressors attract strong buyer interest for several reasons. The brand's long engineering heritage and in-house airend manufacturing translate into machines that are built for extended service life, with many L-Series units accumulating tens of thousands of operating hours before requiring major overhaul. As part of the Ingersoll Rand network, genuine CompAir service kits, filters, separators, and lubricants remain widely available through an extensive global distributor network, keeping maintenance costs predictable on older machines. The energy-efficient design of the L-Series and the variable-speed RS models also means that buyers can achieve meaningful reductions in electricity costs compared with older fixed-speed technology, making a well-maintained used CompAir compressor an attractive value proposition for facilities looking to upgrade compressed air capacity without the capital outlay of new equipment.
