The Air Compressor - The Heart of a Dental Surgery

The air compressor is probably one of the least glamorous items in the dental surgery but it could be argued that it is one of the most valuable. Supplying air to the handpieces, 3-in-1 or scaler it is the most important investment the practice will make and is vital to the running of the surgery.

Having established that an oil free compressor with dryer is the best option for your practice, the chart below helps you to select the optimum compressor for your practice. The decision on whether you need a standard compressor or a low noise model in an accoustic cabinet needs careful consideration. Location of the compressor is an important factor in the decision making process. In a basement or separate room away from patients, the standard "open" model will meet your needs. If the compressor is to be sited in the surgery or an area where noise levels are critical, then select the appropriate model from the LN range.

An Emergency Back Up compressor is very worthwhile considering. For whatever reason that the main compressor is not available, or during servicing, this very economic standby compressor will ensure continuity of air supply.
