J Ll Leach is supporting UK agriculture and the agriculture industry with reliable Atlas Copco air compressors, supplied and installed from our Stoke, Birmingham and Shrewsbury branches.
As an Atlas Copco premier distributor, we provide the essential farm infrastructure needed to keep your agricultural operation running smoothly.
Compressed air is often described as the “fourth utility” on the modern farm. Moreover, on top of helping you save countless working hours and a lot of stress, our technologically advanced solutions can shave a significant sum off your operating costs. They can even extend the lifespan of your valuable farming equipment and machinery.
Our selection of compressors includes rotary screw, reciprocating, and portable types, and we can install all our systems in line with your unique requirements.
Since 1936, we have been at the forefront of the industrial compressed air industry. You can trust us for honest advice, premium solutions, and high-value prices. We can also handle routine maintenance and air quality testing to ensure you get the most from your compressor and farming equipment. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits and possibilities.
As the agricultural industry becomes fiercely and ever-increasingly competitive, staying on top of the latest innovations that allow you to do more for less is imperative.
Whether you rely on compressed air for robotic milking or crop storage, our compressors can be used for many tasks that would otherwise be highly labour-intensive, including irrigation, livestock milking, fertiliser spraying, powering pneumatic tools, cleaning equipment, and much more.
The latest range of compressors can automate countless tasks, including livestock feeding, ventilation, crop drying and seed distribution. You can also use your compressor to maintain specific C02 levels in greenhouses or generate nitrogen for fruit storage.
We only stock compressors that score top marks for energy efficiency, reliability, ease of use, and value. If you have any questions about how our compressors work, do not hesitate to contact one of our industry experts.
To meet the varying air demand of a busy agricultural environment, selecting the right compressor technology is vital. As an Atlas Copco partner, we offer systems designed to withstand the rigours of farm use.
For operations with fluctuating demand, such as dairy farms using robotic milkers, a VSD compressor is the gold standard. Models like the Atlas Copco GA VSD+ adjust the motor speed to match your real-time air demand. This can reduce energy use by up to 50% compared to a fixed-speed compressor, significantly lowering your operational costs.
Food safety is paramount. For high-care areas where air quality is critical, such as processing or direct contact with grain, we offer oil-free compressors (Class 0). These ensure zero risk of contamination, protecting both animal welfare and your final product.
At J LI Leach, you will find the perfect compressor for just about any farming task, whether you just need a small unit for powering hand-held pneumatic tools or a more robust system for continuous use in functions like irrigation. Some of our most popular types of compressors include:
Our reciprocating air compressors are ideal for intermittent use in the farm workshop. Their compact size makes them the best choice for powering pneumatic tools like sprayers and nail guns. They can also support smaller milking machines, climate control, ventilation, and feeding equipment.
Reciprocating compressors are among the most cost-effective solutions to purchase. However, due to the number of moving parts and duty cycle limitations, you must stay on top of regular maintenance.
With their continuous operation capability and excellent energy efficiency, rotary screw air compressors are suitable for heavy-duty applications like large-scale irrigation systems, grain handling systems, automated feeding equipment, ventilation systems, and egg-handling equipment. You can also use them for power tools, cleaning, and waste processing systems.
While rotary screw compressors can be more expensive to purchase than their reciprocating counterparts, they are often more efficient and require less maintenance, which can make them better value in the long run.
You might be interested in one of our portable air compressors for on-the-go tasks. These solutions are perfect for field equipment maintenance, fence stapling and post-driving, crop spraying, tyre inflation, and remote irrigation system maintenance. We have gasoline, diesel, and electric-powered options if you need compressed air in multiple locations.
Air compressors can make countless tasks much more efficient in farming. Some of the most common uses for our compressors include:
Air compressors can help ensure precise seed placement in pneumatic seeders, reducing waste while improving planting efficiency. They also play a big role in pneumatic conveying for grain handling, automating irrigation and preventing overwatering.
Reliable air is the heartbeat of the modern dairy. Compressors that power robotic milking machines ensure the process runs smoothly and consistently 24/7. They can also improve ventilation in livestock housing, operate slurry scrapers, and assist with automated feeding systems.
A portable air compressor is a must-have for inflating tractor and vehicle tyres on the spot. It is also super useful for cleaning machinery by blowing dust and debris out of farm equipment and grain silos, which minimises the risk of contamination. Compressed air systems can power a wide array of pneumatic tools when it comes to repairs.
Compressors reduce the labour required for spraying pesticides and fertilisers while guaranteeing an even cover. They are also used in fumigation systems to protect stored grains from pests. In greenhouses, compressed air helps release CO₂ in a controlled way to boost plant growth.
Farming and agriculture are subject to strict safety standards. We help you stay compliant:
Air compressors for agriculture come with a plethora of benefits, including:
Investing in one of our advanced agricultural compressed air solutions can significantly increase farm efficiency while reducing operating costs, labour requirements, upkeep, and energy usage. Moreover, our modern compressors deliver many benefits that help you remain competitive in a tough industry.
