Used Quincy Compressor Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Quincy Compressor traces its roots to 1920, when the Wall Pump and Compressor Co. was founded on the riverfront in Quincy, Illinois. By 1924 the company had adopted its current name and shifted its focus to reciprocating air compressors, growing steadily alongside industrial demand for compressed air. In 1937 Quincy introduced the QR-25, a pressure-lubricated reciprocating compressor that remains an industry reference point for durability. Manufacturing of rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps began at a Bay Minette, Alabama facility in 1980, which today serves as the company's headquarters. Quincy was acquired by Atlas Copco in 2010 and continues to operate as an independent brand within that group.

The core of Quincy Compressor's industrial lineup is its rotary screw air compressor range. The flagship QSI series covers 50 to 350 horsepower in both air-cooled and water-cooled configurations, delivering 220 to over 2,000 CFM at 100 to 175 PSI and is engineered for up to 100,000 hours of airend life. The QST and QSB series offer belt-driven rotary screw performance from 15 to 50 horsepower, running large-diameter rotors at lower speeds for quiet, economical operation. The QGS line spans 5 to 60 horsepower in belt- and gear-drive configurations, available as base-mount, tank-mount, or integrated dryer packages. Variable-speed options include the QGDV and QGV series. Complementing the compressors, Quincy's refrigerated and desiccant air dryers are designed to pair directly with these units for complete, dry compressed air systems.

Quincy Compressor equipment serves a broad cross-section of industry. General manufacturing, automotive fabrication and assembly, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, plastics processing, metalworking, packaging, oil and gas, aerospace, and mining operations all rely on Quincy air compressors and dryers as plant utilities. Applications range from powering pneumatic tooling and conveying systems to providing instrument-quality air for process control and contamination-sensitive production environments.

Buyers seeking used Quincy Compressor air compressors and air dryers consistently cite the brand's cast-iron construction, heavy-duty airends, and conservative engineering as reasons these machines deliver reliable service well beyond typical equipment lifecycles. Parts availability is strong through an extensive North American distributor network, and the straightforward mechanical design of models like the QSI and QST series makes servicing predictable and cost-effective. The combination of low maintenance requirements, energy-efficient operation, and strong resale value makes used Quincy equipment a practical choice for facilities looking to expand compressed air capacity without the capital outlay of new machinery.
