Did you know? Air compressors date back nearly 4,000 years ago when our ancestors started using bellows to supply the oxygen they needed for primitive metallurgy. Compressed air was used more commonly during the Industrial Revolution, with blowing machines driven by water wheels or hydraulics.

However, it wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that air compressors came into large-scale use, powering pneumatic tools. In this post by Kaishan, learn more about the evolution of air systems.
