Clarke SE25C200 Air compressor

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in workshops.
• Operating air-powered spray guns for painting and coating applications.
• Supplying air for industrial cleaning and blow-off operations.
• Powering small to medium-sized production lines requiring pneumatic actuation.
• Inflating tyres and other high-volume air requirements in commercial settings.

Typical receiver capacity

For this class of equipment, receiver capacities commonly range from 150 to 250 litres.

Motor power

Units of this type typically feature motors between 4.0 Hp and 7.5 Hp.

Power supply

Industrial air compressors are commonly 3-phase, requiring a 400V supply.

Air displacement (FAD)

Free Air Delivery (FAD) for compressors of this size typically ranges from 15 to 25 CFM (425 to 700 litres/min).

Maximum operating pressure

Commonly, these units operate at a maximum pressure of 8 to 10 bar (116 to 145 psi).

Compressor type

Most units in this category are piston-driven, either single or two-stage.

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

  Regular maintenance for piston compressors includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting air filters, draining condensation from the receiver, and checking belt tension if applicable. Seals and valves may also require periodic inspection.

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

• What are the common safety features on industrial air compressors?

• How important is the receiver size?

• What should I consider regarding the power supply for a 3-phase 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.
