Compressed Air, Vacuum & System Equipment
Choose Equipment Based on What Your System Requires
The right equipment decision starts with more than horsepower, CFM, or replacing what is already there.
Air demand, pressure, air quality, duty cycle, available space, energy use, process requirements, maintenance needs, and future growth can all affect which equipment makes sense for your facility.
Lewis Systems helps industrial, manufacturing, healthcare, laboratory, and commercial facilities evaluate those requirements and select compressed air, vacuum, blower, treatment, and medical system equipment around the complete application.

Air Compressors
Match Compressor Technology to How Your Facility Uses Air
The right air compressor depends on how much air you need, how consistently you need it, and the air quality your process requires.
Rotary Screw Air Compressors
A strong fit for industrial applications with sustained or continuous compressed air demand.
Reciprocating Air Compressors
Ideal for intermittent demand, smaller systems, and applications where the compressor does not need to run continuously.
Oil-Free Air Compressors
Designed for applications where minimizing the risk of oil contamination in the compressed air is important.
Air Treatment & Distribution
Control Air Quality From the Compressor to the Point of Use
Moisture, contaminants, pressure loss, storage, and distribution can affect equipment performance and process requirements even when the compressor itself is operating correctly.
Lewis Systems provides:
- Refrigerated and desiccant air dryers
- Compressed air filtration
- Condensate management
- Oil/water separation
- Air receivers
- Aftercoolers
- Aluminum compressed air piping
Vacuum Pumps & Systems
Select Vacuum Equipment Around the Process
Vacuum requirements vary by application. The right technology depends on factors such as required vacuum level, flow, duty cycle, process conditions, moisture or contaminants, and maintenance requirements.
Lewis Systems offers industrial vacuum solutions from manufacturers including Becker and Travaini.
Positive Displacement Blowers
Match Airflow, Pressure & Vacuum to the Application
Positive displacement blowers support applications that require dependable movement of air or gas at relatively low to moderate pressure or vacuum.
Applications include wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, dry bulk handling, processing, industrial vacuum, and other industrial uses.
Medical Air, Vacuum & Gas Equipment
Equipment for Healthcare, Laboratory & Research Applications
Lewis Systems provides medical air compressors, medical vacuum systems, and medical gas pipeline equipment for hospitals, dental facilities, laboratories, universities, and research environments.
Solutions include source equipment, air treatment, outlets, alarms, zone valves, manifolds, controls, and monitoring.
On-Site Nitrogen Generation
Produce Nitrogen at Your Facility Instead of Relying Entirely on Deliveries
If your operation uses nitrogen regularly, on-site generation may give you greater control over supply, purity, storage, and long-term operating costs.
Lewis Systems provides Gardner Denver PSA and membrane nitrogen generation systems and can help evaluate required nitrogen purity, flow and pressure, current nitrogen usage, existing compressed air capacity, and more.
On-site nitrogen generation can be worth evaluating for facilities that use frequent cylinder or bulk deliveries, have experienced supply delays, or want more control over nitrogen availability and cost.
Additional System Equipment and Accessories
Lewis Systems also provides supporting equipment and components including:
- Process water chillers
- Air receivers
- Aftercoolers and oil coolers
- Condensate drains
- Controls and pressure switches
- Oil/water separators
Equipment Selected With the Complete System in Mind
Lewis Systems provides more than the equipment itself.
Our team can help with application review, equipment selection, system design, installation, startup, preventative maintenance, parts, repairs, rentals, and future equipment planning.
Select → Configure → Install → Support
That means the equipment can be evaluated based on how it will fit the facility, connect to the rest of the system, meet operating requirements, and be supported after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Compressed Air & Vacuum Equipment
The right compressor depends on airflow, pressure, duty cycle, air quality, operating conditions, available space, efficiency goals, and future demand.
Lewis Systems can help evaluate those requirements before comparing rotary screw, reciprocating, oil-free, or other compressor technologies.
Low pressure or insufficient air does not automatically mean you need a larger compressor. Leaks, pressure drop, controls, storage, piping restrictions, or changing demand can also reduce available capacity.
A system evaluation can help determine whether additional compressor capacity is actually needed.
Yes. Lewis Systems can help evaluate demand, pressure, air quality, duty cycle, operating conditions, available space, redundancy, and future requirements before recommending equipment.
Yes. Lewis Systems supports equipment with system design, installation, startup, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, parts, rentals, and long-term technical support.
