Kaeser Kompressoren - Air Compressor With Tank

Applications & Use Cases

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in food production lines.
• Operating air-powered actuators and valves for automated processes.
• Used for general plant maintenance tasks requiring compressed air.
• Supplying air for packaging equipment and conveying systems.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, tank capacities commonly range from 50 to 500 litres, with compressor free air delivery (FAD) typically between 5 and 50 CFM.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase electrical supplies, depending on motor size.

Pressure range

Typically, these compressors deliver working pressures between 7 and 10 bar (100-145 psi).

Footprint

The footprint for a compressor with a tank can vary significantly, but typically requires a floor area of 0.5m² to 2m².

Noise level

For this category, noise levels commonly range from 70 to 90 dB(A), with some models featuring acoustic enclosures for quieter operation.

Air treatment

Many units are equipped with or can be easily fitted with dryers and filters to ensure clean, dry air suitable for food processing environments.
