New Own-Brand Compressors Target DIY, Trade and Professional Users 

As the UK's biggest distributor of pneumatic products and process systems it will be no surprise that the selection of air compressors available from Thorite is the widest possible. With the launch of Thorite's new and extended range the company has built on its reputation for quality, reliability and rugged performance whilst offering some of the most competitively priced compressors available in both the retail marketplace and on the web. 

Thorite markets their own-brand compressors in two distinct ranges:

The Performance Air Compressors sport a smart red finish and comprise 6 portable and 2 stationery models ranging from 2-8 HP, 8-24 CFM, 8-10 bar and tank capacities from 24-200 litres. 3 brand new models have been designed to increase choice and provide a lower cost alternative to established professional equivalents, whilst the 3 smallest machines are ideal for the DIY market. Prices range from below £100 for the smallest direct drive model to under £600 for the biggest belt drive machine and all carry a 12month warranty. 

The Professional Air Compressors range features 8 electrically powered belt drive models, all UK built and tested with 2 year warranties and full back up from Thorite's factory trained engineers. Recognisable by their blue livery there are 2 portable and 6 stationary models designed for commercial workshops and garages, where the larger units might be installed as part of a compressed air pipework system, supplying power to multiple users/points. The compressors range from 3-10HP, 9.9-26.4 CFM and tank capacities from 50-250litres. Top of the range are tandem models with either 2x3HP or 2x4HP motors, ideal for use where there is no 3 phase power supply available. 

Thorite also provide a 3 model range of petrol power compressors as an adjunct to the Professional range, with one portable and 2 stationery machines, each powered by heavy duty Honda GX engines ranging from 5.5-11HP, 9.9-11.2CFM and 50-150 litre tank capacities. UK manufacture, testing, warranties and technical back up is the same as for the electrically powered Professional compressors
