NAIROBI, Kenya- Davis & Shirtliff, a leading provider of water and energy solutions, has launched an innovative line of affordable air compressors designed to power the profitability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya.
The new consumer-grade Dayliff Dcom air compressors promise to be a game-changer for businesses that rely on efficient and reliable pneumatic power.
The Dayliff Dcom air compressors, available in four different sizes, offer options for both petrol engines and electric motor power.
These compressors are tailored for various applications such as powering pneumatic tools, hoists, spray painting, sandblasting, and tire inflation.
Their introduction is set to provide much-needed relief to SMEs, including automotive repair shops, petrol stations, workshops, and even event planners who depend on air compressors for their daily operations.
“The new Dayliff Dcom compressors not only utilize high-quality fittings, setting them apart from the majority in the market, but they also comply with internationally approved safety, environmental, and health requirements,” said Martin Gwada, General Machinery Manager at Davis & Shirtliff.
He added that these compressors are equipped with high-pressure safety release valves for enhanced safety, ensuring that SMEs can rely on them for extended periods without frequent breakages.
Davis & Shirtliff’s Dayliff Dcom air compressors are built with reliability and convenience in mind. Featuring high-capacity reciprocating single-acting air compressor pumps, these machines deliver consistent performance and durability.
The electric models come with an auto-start feature for efficiency, while all models boast wheel-mounted designs for easy mobility.
To prevent overheating, the electric motor units are equipped with thermal cutouts, adding another layer of protection.
The company offers guidance on appropriate sizing to prevent overuse and unnecessary energy consumption, ensuring that SMEs get the most out of their investment.
This kind of support is crucial for small businesses, which are the backbone of Kenya’s economy, contributing over 30pc of the national output according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics’ Economic Survey 2024.
The introduction of these affordable air compressors comes at a time when Kenya’s air compressor market is poised for significant growth, driven by the development of special economic zones (SEZs) across the country.
