What is a booster?

A booster is a specific type of piston compressor that takes already compressed air and boosts it to reach medium or high pressure. That’s because applications such as laser cutting, PET bottle blowing and plastics forming require a higher pressure than a standard air compressor can provide.

Why choose the bstAIR 40?

There are a number of ways to produce high-pressure air or gas: a compressor and booster, increasing the pressure of your entire plant, and working with an air amplifier or stand-alone high-pressure compressor. A compressor and bstAIR 40 combination is your most cost-efficient solution. In addition, it allows you to use the compressor for your other pneumatic jobs as well.

Typical Applications: 

The bstAIR series is used in industries and processes requiring high pressure air or nitrogen beyond the base compressed air network. Some use cases:

• PET bottle blowing (where high pressure is needed)
• Laser cutting or abrasive cutting that require higher pressures
• Pressure testing, where a higher pressure needs to be generated for test purposes
• Wherever a part of the production process demands significantly higher pressure than typical house (low-pressure) compressed air can provide
