Kaeser SK26 Air compressor

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in manufacturing.
• Supplying air for industrial processes requiring clean, dry compressed air.
• Operating control systems and automation in production lines.
• General workshop use for various air-powered applications.

Equipment Type

Rotary Screw Air Compressor

Typical Motor Power

For this class, motor power is commonly around 15 kW.

Typical Working Pressure

Units of this type typically operate at pressures up to 7.5 bar.

Air Delivery (FAD)

Typically, units of this power output deliver Free Air Delivery (FAD) in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 m³/min.

Power Supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Footprint

Compact design for its capacity, often requiring less than 1 square metre of floor space.

Noise Level

Modern screw compressors of this size typically operate at noise levels between 65-75 dB(A).

• What maintenance is typically required for a Kaeser SK26?

  Routine maintenance typically involves oil changes, filter replacements (air, oil, separator), and checking drive belts. Service intervals are usually specified by the manufacturer, often annually or after a certain number of operating hours.

• Is this compressor suitable for continuous operation?

• What additional equipment might be needed with this compressor?

• Can this unit be used in a food processing environment?

• What is the significance of the 'rated motor speed 3000min'?

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.
