Designed for Heavy-Duty Industrial Use

This 20L compressed air cylinder is best suited for extended tasks or environments where consistent air flow is critical. Its higher capacity and 200 Bar working pressure make it the ideal solution for operating pneumatic tools continuously without the need for frequent cylinder changes.

Common use cases include vehicle servicing, heavy machinery repairs, construction site support, and off-grid maintenance operations where a mains compressor is not available.

Tool Operation and Portable Air Supply

Equipped to support air-driven tools such as grinders, hammers, ratchets, and drill guns, this cylinder is frequently used by mobile engineers and on-site maintenance teams. Its extended air volume offers superior performance on long jobs or shift-based projects.

System Testing, Inspection and Leak Detection

The 20L unit is often employed during inspection and commissioning processes. It provides a steady flow of clean air to simulate operating conditions in systems like HVAC, valve networks, or hydraulic control mechanisms. It’s also a go-to choice for leak testing in critical pressurised systems.

Integration with Fire Safety & Suppression Systems

This larger cylinder size is well-suited to power industrial fire suppression systems, acting as the pressure trigger to release agents stored in separate tanks. It’s also widely used for maintenance routines where fire hoses and sprinklers must be tested under simulated active conditions.

Automation and Process Engineering

In industrial production and assembly environments, this cylinder enables precise actuation of pneumatic valves, cylinders, and equipment requiring clean, pressurised air. The 20L volume supports short-to-medium term automation tasks without reliance on fixed air lines.

Painting and Surface Preparation

The 20L cylinder provides a clean, oil-free air stream suitable for spray painting, surface preparation, and coating tasks. Its extended capacity ensures consistent flow rates over larger surface areas, particularly in mobile or outdoor applications where compressor access is limited.

Durability and UK Safety Compliance

This cylinder is built from heavy-duty steel and conforms to current UK safety standards, including the 2025 colour code system for compressed gas identification. The white shoulder and black ring allow quick visual recognition on-site, aiding safety and compliance protocols.

Rent-Free Supply with Adams Gas
