Vilter piston compressors have not followed market trends: they are not machines pushed to the limit to the detriment of maintenance costs and compressor life.  On the contrary, they are the safe bet of a good family man: they may be more expensive to buy, but they require little maintenance and have an unrivalled service life.

Reciprocating compressors were (and still are) considered to be infallible machines. Many 30- to 40-year-old units are still in operation today. They are renowned for their durability and reliability.
