In most cases, modern dental treatment unit efficiency depends on an installed air compressor technical features. As dental units belong to an expensive equipment range, you should consider the purchase as thoroughly as possible. To make the best choice, we recommend you to estimate the required compressed air amount in advance.
Best of all, calculate as precisely as possible compressed air masses amount and estimate their performance. Also, try to plan the expected equipment operational load in advance.
Selecting an air compressor unit, try to learn what technical features you need. Then you can proceed and select compressor class and its possible principle of operation. A successfully made choice is the most favorable ratio of maximum pressure, receiver volume, and volumetric capacity. Making an error in one of the above-mentioned specifications will lead to a premature equipment failure.
A dental compressor may belong to one of the following classes:
Equipment class helps to anticipate its lifespan and permissible operation modes. In addition, the equipment differs in operation principle as follows:
The overall compressor price depends on this feature. Also, an operation principle affects the equipment efficiency, operating time, weight and maintenance labor.
Piston models are considered to be the most reliable devices. They supply air of satisfactory quality and their operating parameters are stable. That is why these devices are most often used in dentistry.
A membrane-type compressor ensures higher quality air masses supply compared to piston models. But such equipment is inferior in air masses consumption and pressure created. Such kind of devices is used in portable dental units.
A screw-type compressor provides high pressure even if airflow is high, and it is usually applied in dental clinics centralized air supply. Centrifugal models are excellent for vacuum suction systems.
Before you buy a dental compressor, choose its operation type. The current market offers:
Depending on compressed air requirements, consider the following equipment parameters:
The prices of some instruments can be as low as 190 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 2 400 USD.
Well-known brands of Dental Compressors in the United States are Cattani,Durr dental and Nardi. Outside of the US, top-selling is Chirana and Easy access.
Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used dental air compressor.
What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the dental compressor price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops)
