SANS 347 compliant air receiver tanks supplied to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) and the surrounding region. Industrial pressure vessels from 100L to 10,000L for air compressor systems — vertical and horizontal configurations available.
Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) serves a diverse industrial base with significant demand for reliable compressed air infrastructure. Key sectors we supply in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) include:
The Eastern Cape automotive cluster — supplying Ford and the broader automotive OEM supply chain — is one of South Africa's most significant industrial zones and a key market for compressed air infrastructure.
Gqeberha is Eastern Cape's primary industrial centre. We deliver across the Eastern Cape including East London and King William's Town.
An air receiver tank (also known as an air storage tank or compressed air vessel) is a pressure vessel connected to the outlet of an air compressor. Its primary function is to store compressed air and act as a buffer between the compressor and the downstream distribution network or tools.
Key benefits of correctly sized air receivers include reduced compressor cycling (extending compressor life and lowering energy costs), improved pressure stability at tool outlets, reduced moisture carryover into air lines, and protection against pressure surge damage to sensitive pneumatic equipment.
Under South African law (Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347), air receiver tanks above certain pressure-volume thresholds must be manufactured to approved standards, marked with identification plates, and subject to periodic inspection and testing. All tanks we supply comply with these requirements.
Air Receiver Tank South Africa specialises exclusively in air receiver tanks and pressure vessels. If you also need a complete compressed air system — screw compressor, piston compressor, air dryers or a full installation — the following are dealers within our network operating across South Africa:

Air Receiver Tank South Africa specialises exclusively in air receiver tanks and pressure vessels. For rotary screw compressors, piston compressors, air dryers, filters, pipework installations and full compressed air system design, contact our parent brand — The Titan Emporium.
Yes. An air receiver tank stabilises system pressure, stores reserve compressed air and significantly reduces compressor cycling. Without a receiver, your compressor runs more frequently, consumes more energy and experiences accelerated wear on valves and bearings.
As a general guideline: smaller workshops use 100L to 300L tanks; rotary screw compressor systems (7.5kW–22kW) typically need 500L to 1,000L; large industrial plants often require 2,000L and above. The correct size depends on compressor output, peak air demand and duty cycle. Contact us for a free sizing recommendation.
Yes. All tanks we supply meet PER / SANS 347 pressure vessel requirements and are supplied with manufacturer identification plates and documentation. We also provide inspection, hydrostatic testing and recertification services nationwide.
Yes. We deliver to all major cities and regions across South Africa and export into SADC countries including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola, Malawi and Eswatini.
Yes, provided working pressure and connection sizes are compatible. Our tanks are used with FINI, Nardi Compressori, Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, Gardner Denver, CompAir, Chicago Pneumatic and many other brands.
Annual visual inspection is standard practice at most industrial sites. Hydrostatic testing is typically required every 36 months, or sooner depending on HSE standards and local regulations. Contact us for certification services.
Vertical tanks have a smaller floor footprint — ideal for compact machine rooms. Horizontal tanks are easier to transport and can be used as a base for compressor mounting. Both orientations are available in all sizes from 100L to 10,000L with equivalent performance.
Yes. Stainless steel receivers are available on request for food processing, pharmaceutical, beverage and other hygiene-critical applications. Contact us for specifications and lead times.
