Ariel Corp. is an innovative manufacturer of gas compression equipment. Based in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Ariel has been at the forefront of modern compression technology with market-driven innovation. The company takes pride in its manufacturing processes and product designs. Quality is the foundation of Ariel’s success and is deeply embedded in its company culture. Maintaining its reputation requires the company to design products that can be manufactured, installed, and serviced with ease.

To design a world-class compressor, nothing can be left to chance. Because the compressor is at the center of an integrated system that includes the driver, cooler, piping, and other components, each Ariel design carefully integrates the compressor with the driver and the package system; this lowers lifetime cost. Maximum driver power and efficiency, and precise piston stroke coordinated with valve design for optimum valve efficiency and life, are all part of the design integrity. Every design considers the feasibility of patterns, castings, and machining. Integrating the technical design of the compressor with an understanding of manufacturing technology has been a key to Ariel’s success.
