Three product lines.
One uncompromising standard.

[02] PRINCIPLES WHY STARK

Three reasons compressors built in 1969
are still running today.

PRINCIPLE 01

Direct Drive Design

No belts. Smoother operation. Less maintenance. Longer life. We design every machine — diesel, electric, or self-contained — for minimum space & weight, with maximum efficiency.

PRINCIPLE 02

Houston-Built

Every compressor is manufactured in our 40,000 sq ft Houston facility on 1¼ acres. A complete supply of spare parts is on our shelves. No outsourcing. No middlemen.

PRINCIPLE 03

Simplicity = Reliability

Conventional controls — no PLCs. Every unit we've built since 1969 is still running today. We've consistently stayed away from programmable controllers because simplicity translates directly to long life.

[04] BREATHING AIR AIR PURIFICATION

Grade E breathing air,
delivered.

All AP systems produce Grade E breathing air using Lawrence Factor's X-pendable® filters. Available wall-mounted or incorporated into compressor packages. Each system includes pressure gauge, bleed valve, priority valve, relief valve, check valves, 316 SS tubing, and an anodized aluminum alloy moisture separator with bronze filter element.

ModelMax FlowVolumeChambersDimensionsWeight

* Amount of processed air always depends on compressor condition and ambient air factors such as temperature and humidity. AP-220 and larger are free-standing packages with lifting eyes, forklift clearance, high flow priority valve, and multiple check valves.

"Our compressor room should be as clean as a hospital operating room." Periodic maintenance programs available. Warranty activation requires signed commitment to log-book practice and operator qualification.

[07] BEFORE / AFTER REMANUFACTURING

Turn your old compressor into
a Stark-remanufactured compressor.

BEFORE AFTER
STARK · DD-100 REMANUFACTURED FACTORY-FRESH PAINT · 316 SS GAUGE PANEL · ASME CERTIFIED
UNIT · 30 YEARS SERVICE CORROSION · WORN PAINT · INEFFICIENT BELT DRIVE

The obvious answer would be that the re-manufactured compressor would save you money over the purchase of a new unit. The not so obvious — but better — answer is that a Stark remanufactured unit not only costs less than new but is better than new.

[08] HOUSTON, TX · EST. 1962 ABOUT

From a Houston machine shop
to Africa to the Arctic.

Stark Industries was founded in 1962 as a machine shop in Houston, Texas by Jess Stark. As the business grew, Jess steered Stark Industries into manufacturing specialized high pressure compressor packages in 1969.

Today, Stark designs, maintains, and re-manufactures all compressors in our own 40,000 square foot facility on 1¼ acres in the heart of Houston.

Our goal: always minimum space & weight, combined with maximum efficiency.

You will find Stark compressors from Africa to the Arctic Circle. Our compressors are built to withstand the harshest of environments, using stainless-steel fittings whenever possible.

"Stark Industries has consistently stayed away from programmable controllers on our compressors. The conventional controls on all of our equipment manufactured since 1969 have been extremely reliable and are still running today. This is in stark contrast to the enormous failure rate of PLCs. Simplicity translates directly to reliability & long life." — STARK INDUSTRIES PHILOSOPHY
[09] CLIENTS TRUSTED BY

Stark compressors have been trusted by some of the world's leading energy, exploration, and industrial companies — deployed from Houston to Africa to the Arctic Circle.
