Air Tank Shapes
Air compressor tanks, also known as air receiver tanks, play a crucial role in storing compressed air, ensuring your system can cope with the demands you put on it, including peak demand periods. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, as shown here.
Air Tank Sizes
Whether you need a compact 20L tank for light-duty applications, a versatile 50L tank for workshops, or a high-capacity 100L tank for industrial use, selecting the correct size helps maintain steady airflow and reduces strain on your compressor.
20L Air Tank
Compact and portable, ideal for small tools and light-duty applications. Perfect for home workshops, hobbyists, and mobile use where space is limited but reliable compressed air is needed.
50L Air Tank
A versatile choice for workshops and medium-duty applications. Provides a good balance between portability and capacity, ensuring a steady airflow for air tools, spray painting, and general compressed air needs.
100L Air Tank
High-capacity solution for industrial and commercial use. Reduces compressor cycling, improves efficiency, and delivers consistent airflow for demanding applications like manufacturing, automotive work, and large-scale pneumatic systems.

Frequently asked questions
What size air tank do I need for my application?
The appropriate tank size depends on your specific air demand and usage patterns. Larger tanks (e.g 100L) are suitable for applications requiring a steady supply of air, while smaller tanks (e.g 20L or 50L) may suffice for intermittent use. Consulting with a compressed air specialist such as Southern Air Systems can help determine the optimal size for your needs.
Do I need a vertical tank or a horizontal tank?
The choice depends on space, stability, and application needs. Vertical tanks save floor space and are ideal for workshops with limited room. Horizontal tanks provide better stability and are often used in mobile or heavy-duty applications. Always consider drainage and mounting requirements before choosing.
Can you install a new air tank for me?
Yes, we offer professional air tank installation, ensuring correct setup, safety compliance, and optimal performance. Our team can advise on tank placement, mounting, and connections to suit your system's needs.
How do I prevent rust inside my air tank?
To prevent internal rust, regularly drain moisture from the tank using the drain valve. We can also install an air dryer or moisture trap in your compressed air system to reduce humidity levels, minimising the risk of corrosion.
Can I add an air tank to my existing compressor?
Yes, adding a tank can increase air storage, reduce compressor cycling, and improve efficiency. Ensure compatibility with your system before installation, and feel free to get in touch if you're not sure.
