Kaeser Kompressoren - Air Compressor with Tank

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools in workshops and manufacturing.
• Powering industrial machinery requiring air pressure for operation.
• Used in automotive repair for tyre inflation and spray painting.
• Supporting general factory operations for cleaning and drying tasks.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, tank capacities commonly range from 50 to 500 litres, with air delivery rates (FAD) typically between 5 and 50 CFM (cubic feet per minute).

Power supply

Units of this type are commonly found with single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical connections, depending on motor size.

Motor power

Typically, motor power for these compressors ranges from 2.2 kW (3 HP) to 15 kW (20 HP) or more for larger industrial units.

Operating pressure

Commonly, these compressors operate at pressures between 8 and 10 bar (116-145 psi), with some high-pressure models exceeding this.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with tank size; smaller units might be around 1m x 0.5m, while larger industrial units can be several square metres.

Noise level

For this type of piston compressor, noise levels are typically in the range of 70-90 dB(A) during operation, depending on design and enclosure.

• What maintenance is typically required for an air compressor with a tank?

  Regular maintenance commonly involves draining condensation from the tank, checking and changing oil (if oil-lubricated), inspecting air filters, and verifying belt tension. Pressure relief valves should also be tested periodically.

• How do I determine if this compressor is suitable for my application?

• What are the common safety considerations for operating an air compressor?

• Can this type of compressor be used for continuous operation?

• What is the typical lifespan of an industrial 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.
