About Used Used Air Compressors & Air Dryers for Sale
Industrial air compressors power tools, actuators, molding machine functions, and automation throughout a manufacturing plant. Used air compressors are available in rotary screw (the workhorse for continuous plant air), reciprocating/piston (intermittent duty and smaller shops), and oil-free configurations (food, medical, and electronics applications where oil carryover is unacceptable). Key specifications are horsepower, CFM delivery at pressure (typically 100-125 PSI), duty cycle, and whether an integrated dryer and receiver tank are included.
Buying a used air compressor offers substantial savings over new — often 40-60% — and late-model machines from plant closures frequently have low hours and complete service records. Pair the compressor with a properly sized refrigerated or desiccant air dryer to protect downstream equipment from moisture.
Meadoworks stocks used rotary screw compressors, piston compressors, and complete compressed-air systems from Ingersoll Rand, Atlas Copco, Kaeser, Sullair, Gardner Denver, and Quincy. Contact us at 800-323-0307 for current availability and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a used industrial air compressor cost?
Used rotary screw air compressor prices typically range from $3,000-$10,000 for smaller units (10-30 HP) to $15,000-$50,000+ for large plant-air machines (100+ HP) with integrated dryers. Reciprocating compressors run $1,000-$8,000. Pricing depends on horsepower, CFM, hours, and whether a dryer and tank are included. Contact Meadoworks at 800-323-0307.
Rotary screw vs reciprocating air compressor — which do I need?
Rotary screw compressors are designed for continuous duty and are the standard choice for plant air in manufacturing operations. Reciprocating (piston) compressors are lower-cost and fine for intermittent use, but wear quickly under continuous load. If your plant runs compressed air all shift, choose a rotary screw.
