Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 10 to 50 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) at standard operating pressures.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though smaller models may operate on 230V single-phase.

Operating pressure

Commonly found on units of this type are operating pressures between 7 to 10 bar (100-145 psi).

Air treatment

Many industrial compressors include integrated or external air dryers and filters to ensure clean, dry air suitable for various applications.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a compressor of this capacity typically requires a dedicated space, often around 1.5m x 1m, depending on configuration.

Noise level

Modern industrial compressors, even used, often feature acoustic enclosures to keep noise levels typically below 75 dB(A).
