What Is a Mobile Compressed Air Station?

A mobile compressed air station is a fully enclosed outdoor compressor system designed to protect critical compressed air equipment from harsh weather conditions while providing reliable compressed air where indoor space is limited or unavailable. These customizable installations can accommodate compressors, air dryers, receivers, filtration equipment, and controls in a single weather-resistant package.

Key Benefits

Protect Equipment from Extreme Weather

Designed for operation in temperatures ranging from extreme cold to intense heat, AWA stations help protect compressed air equipment from rain, snow, wind, and temperature fluctuations.

Reduce Operating Costs

When utility power is available, electric compressor packages can significantly reduce operating costs compared to diesel-powered alternatives while delivering dependable compressed air performance.

Improve Workplace Conditions

Sound-insulated construction helps reduce compressor noise, improving working conditions for personnel and nearby operations.

Deploy Quickly

AWA stations require minimal site preparation and can be installed faster than traditional compressor building projects.

Ideal Applications

Mobile compressed air stations are commonly used for:

• Manufacturing facilities
• Food and beverage processing plants
• Municipal water and wastewater facilities
• Power generation facilities
• Mining operations
• Construction projects
• Pulp and paper mills
• Chemical processing facilities
• Remote industrial operations
• Temporary plant expansions

When to Consider an Outdoor Compressor Station

An AWA Mobile Compressed Air Station may be the ideal solution when:

• Indoor space is limited
• Additional compressor capacity is required quickly
• A temporary installation is needed
• Existing compressor rooms are overcrowded
• Noise reduction is desired
• Equipment must operate in remote locations
• A backup compressed air system is required

Custom Configuration Options

Every compressed air application is different. COMAIRCO can customize AWA stations with:

• Rotary screw compressors
• Oil-free compressors
• Air dryers
• Air receivers
• Filtration packages
• Variable speed drives (VSD)
• Remote monitoring systems
• Custom electrical configurations
• Condensate management systems

AWA vs Traditional Portable Compressors

Why Choose an AWA Air Station?

• Lower operating costs where electrical power is available
• Enhanced weather protection
• Improved sound attenuation
• Suitable for short-term or permanent installations
• Minimal site preparation requirements
• Easier equipment access for maintenance
• Increased equipment protection and lifespan

An air compressor unit that is completely moveable and customizable

For over 40 years, Comairco has been a leader in the compressed air industry. In our effort to provide quality equipment and meet current requirements, we developed a portable outdoor mobile cabinet that allows you to run compressed-air equipment year-round, regardless of the weather conditions.

Many elements make our AWA the most reliable and cost-efficient solution: it’s suitable for both short-term and permanent installation, or when there is a lack of available indoor space, or simply when there is the need to reduce sound pressure (dBA) and thus improve the quality of working conditions.

The AWA electric package operates with an energy cost that is eight times lower than the regular diesel compressor. Knowing that each project is unique, we are able to design and manufacture custom mobile cabinets to meet your specific needs. *Available for sale or rental.
