Sellarc - Air Compressor

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in workshops.
• Powering industrial processes such as spraying, cleaning, and material handling.
• Supplying air for manufacturing lines, including assembly and packaging.
• Used in automotive garages for tyre inflation and impact wrenches.

Typical capacity

For this class of used air compressor, capacities commonly range from 10 to 50 CFM (cubic feet per minute).

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase industrial electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) or a single-phase supply for smaller models.

Pressure range

Commonly, these compressors deliver working pressures between 7 to 10 bar (100-145 PSI).

Motor power

Motor sizes typically range from 5 HP to 20 HP, depending on the required air output.

Air receiver volume

Air receiver tanks commonly have volumes from 200 to 500 litres for industrial applications.

Footprint

The footprint for a unit of this type can vary, but typically requires a dedicated space of approximately 1.5m x 1m.

• What type of maintenance is typically required for a used air compressor?

  Regular maintenance for a used air compressor commonly includes checking and changing oil, inspecting air filters, draining condensate from the receiver tank, and checking for leaks in the system. Specifics will depend on the compressor type (e.g., rotary screw, piston).

• Can this compressor be used for food processing applications?

• What should I consider regarding installation for a used air compressor?

• How do I determine if this compressor is suitable for my existing pneumatic tools?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used air compressor?

Used air compressors for lab and pharma applications are generally valued for reliability and cost savings. Buyers typically prioritize checking maintenance history, confirming pressure ratings meet specific requirements, and verifying oil-free operation where contamination control matters. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, consistent performance across extended operational hours, and significant capital cost reduction compared to new units. Inspecting seals, checking for corrosion, and confirming recent servicing records are standard considerations when purchasing secondhand.
