Compressor unit

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in workshops.
• Supplying air for industrial processes such as spraying, cleaning, and material handling.
• Used in manufacturing for automation and control systems.
• Essential for various applications in food processing, packaging, and pharmaceuticals (with appropriate air treatment).

Typical capacity

For this class of used compressor units, capacities commonly range from 10 to 100 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) or 280 to 2800 litres per minute, depending on the specific model and motor size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 400V 3-phase electrical supply, though smaller units may be 230V single-phase. Buyers should verify the exact voltage requirements with the seller.

Operating pressure

Commonly, these compressors are designed to deliver pressures between 7 to 10 bar (100-145 psi), suitable for most industrial applications.

Footprint

The physical dimensions can vary significantly, but a typical industrial compressor unit might occupy an area of approximately 1m x 0.7m, with varying height.

Air treatment

Many industrial applications require dry, filtered air. Buyers should inquire if the unit includes or requires external air dryers, filters, or oil-water separators.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance for compressor units typically involves oil changes, filter replacements, and checking for leaks. Service intervals depend on usage and manufacturer guidelines.

• What type of compressor is this likely to be?

  Without further details, 'Kompressor Unit' most commonly refers to a rotary screw or piston compressor. Rotary screw compressors are generally preferred for continuous, high-volume air supply, while piston compressors are often used for intermittent demand.

• What should I check before purchasing a used compressor unit?

• Is air treatment equipment included with the unit?

• What are the power requirements for this unit?

• Can this unit be used for food-grade applications?

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.
