How Ski Resorts Use Industrial Air Compressors to Make Snow Ski resorts produce millions of cubic feet of snow per year to supplement natural snowfall and to extend the ski season. Snowmaking will continue to increase as resorts are seeing less annual snowfall. Industrial air compressors play a critical role in the process and comprise a large percentage of a ski resort’s operating cost. In addition to simply providing more snow base, making snow also helps to insulate the entire snowpack, which retains the overall quality of the surface snow, including the favored and sought-after powder.

If you’re considering purchasing a new air compressor, you’ll need to understand the differences between reciprocating air compressors and rotary air compressors, and the applications they’re best suited for.   What Is a Reciprocating Air Compressor? A reciprocating air compressor uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to compress the air. They’re efficient, low-maintenance, and perform well for applications that require small and sporadic amounts of compressed air. What Is a Rotary Screw Air Compressor? Rotary screw air compressors use two helical screws, or rotors, to compress air. As t ..read more
