Why choose Morganton for your air receivers
- Purpose-built for compressed air – Morganton focuses on air receivers and air-treatment vessels, not random fabricated steel. Their design and manufacturing is centered on compressed air, air treatment and filtration, oil and gas, and emerging hydrogen applications.
- Wide capacity range – from compact shop tanks around 1 gallon all the way up to 400 gallon receivers for large industrial systems, so you can match storage to your exact cfm and duty cycle.
- Carbon steel and stainless options – choose cost-effective carbon steel air receivers or stainless steel vessels where moisture, hygiene, or corrosive environments demand it.
- Vertical or horizontal layouts – vertical air receiver tanks save floor space and integrate neatly beside compressors, while horizontal receivers pair easily with skid-mounted equipment.
- Industrial ratings – typical Morganton tanks are built around common industrial pressures (for example roughly 165, 200, or 300 psi), giving you headroom for demanding shop and plant duty.
What you’ll find in this Morganton collection
This collection brings together the core Morganton pressure vessel families used across shops, factories, and engineered systems, including:
- Small vertical and horizontal air vessels
Compact receivers ideal for point-of-use storage, mobile systems, and small compressors
Helpful when you need just enough buffer near a tool, blast cabinet, or production cell
- Standard vertical air receivers
Tall, compact footprint to free up floor space
Great for main plant receivers, wet receivers upstream of dryers, or dry receivers downstream
- Standard horizontal air receivers
Stable base for skid packages, compressor mounting, or tight mechanical rooms
Available with feet, saddles, or base rings to match your installation style
- High-pressure air vessels
Built for higher working pressures where your process or compressor requires extra margin
Ideal for tough industrial environments and demanding duty cycles
- Vacuum vessels
Tanks designed for vacuum service and evacuation systems
Useful in packaging, plastics, process, and pick-and-place automation
- Oxygen vessels
Specially prepared oxygen-service pressure vessels for medical, industrial gas, and process use
Built with the material and cleanliness standards oxygen handling demands
- Painted carbon-steel air receivers
Factory-finished exterior coatings to slow corrosion and keep tanks presentable in public-facing shops
Ready for install straight from the crate
- Water tanks for pressurized autoclaves
Vessels purpose-designed for pressurized water and autoclave systems in process, lab, and industrial applications
- Vertical and horizontal stainless steel vessels
For washdown areas, food and beverage plants, and high-moisture environments
Reduced risk of internal corrosion in aggressive or high-condensate systems
- Custom compressed air receivers
When a standard footprint, nozzle layout, or rating will not cut it, Morganton can design custom receivers to spec, integrating your flange patterns, supports, and accessories
How a Morganton receiver improves your compressed air system
Adding a correctly sized Morganton air receiver tank to your system does more than just store air:
1. Stabilizes pressure
- Smooths out demand spikes from tools, blast cabinets, and production equipment
- Reduces pressure sag at the far ends of your piping runs
2. Reduces compressor cycling
- Lets your compressor run in more efficient, longer cycles instead of rapid start-stop behavior
- Helps extend compressor, motor, and starter life
3. Protects filters and dryers
- Used as a wet receiver, a Morganton tank helps drop out bulk water and oil before the dryer
- As a dry receiver, it provides clean, stable air volume downstream, easing the load on filters
4. Supports future expansion
- Extra receiver capacity gives you room to add tools, shifts, or new lines without instantly outgrowing your air system
Who Morganton pressure vessels are for
This collection is designed for anyone who wants serious, spec-able compressed air storage, including:
- Manufacturing plants and fabrication shops
- Automotive body and repair shops
- Woodworking, millwork, and cabinet shops
- Powder-coating and blasting operations
- Food, beverage, pharmaceutical, or hygienic facilities (especially with stainless receivers)
- Original equipment builders designing skids, packages, and integrated compressed air systems
Bring reliability and real engineering into your air system with Morganton pressure vessels. Browse the collection, choose the capacity, orientation, material, and pressure rating that fits your application, and drop a properly built receiver into your next project instead of gambling on a no-name tank.
