Kaeser Compressors

Kaeser designs, manufactures, installs, and services complete compressed air systems for industrial applications. The company’s offerings span rotary-screw compressors, oil-free units, blowers, air dryers, filters, tanks, and piping, alongside custom enclosures and skids for mobile or space-constrained environments. Each system is engineered for energy efficiency, uptime, and minimal maintenance. Integrated control software like Sigma Air Manager enables remote monitoring, load balancing across units, and data-driven system optimization. For customers who prefer turnkey reliability over capital ownership, Kaeser also offers full design, installation, and field support.

Their KAirFree program delivers compressed air as a utility through a Hardware-as-a-Service model. Rather than buying equipment, customers pay hourly or monthly rates for compressor uptime, ranging from $2.30–$3.30/hr for 5–20 hp machines and up to $2,000/month for 100 hp systems. All plans include installation, maintenance, and repair, with optional downtime insurance. The model eliminates unexpected costs and converts compressed air infrastructure from a capital expense to an operating one. KAirFree is particularly attractive to growing or space-constrained businesses looking to scale air output without the administrative and financial overhead of equipment ownership.

“In today’s fast‑moving industrial environment, businesses need reliable compressed air without the headache of ownership: equipment, service, and repairs should just work,” says Matt McCorkle, Director of Branch Operations at the company. “Our KAirFree model is designed so customers only pay for the air they use while we handle everything else, delivering uptime and peace of mind.”
