Air Compressor - Namsang Chakkol

What is an Air Compressor? Choosing the Right Unit for Your Work

An air compressor draws in atmospheric air and compresses it to a higher pressure, storing it in a receiver tank to power pneumatic tools and production lines. It is a core power source across industry — from auto workshops and spray painting to factory lines needing continuous 24-hour compressed air. Namsang Chakkol is an authorized dealer and rental provider for AIRMAN air compressors from Japan, in both stationary factory and portable towable formats.

Air compressors fall into 3 main types by compression mechanism: 1) Piston (reciprocating) — cost-effective for light-to-medium intermittent use, 2) Screw — smooth continuous output, ideal for factories needing 100% duty cycle, 3) Portable diesel-driven units for construction sites without grid power. Capacity is measured by motor power (HP) and air delivery (CFM) at a typical working pressure of 7–10 bar.

Air Compressor Pricing & Rental Rates

Small 2–5 HP piston air compressors start from 8,000–25,000 THB, while 20–50 HP screw compressors for factories range from the low hundreds of thousands upward depending on air delivery. Portable towable units rent from roughly 12,000–30,000 THB per month, with price driven by CFM, motor power, and accessories such as air dryers and receiver tanks.
