Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For a 15kW motor, units of this class typically deliver free air delivery (FAD) in the range of 1.8 to 2.5 m³/min (65-90 CFM).

Working pressure

This model is specified at 9.5 bar, which is a common working pressure for industrial air compressors, suitable for a wide range of applications.

Motor power

The 15kW motor indicates a mid-range industrial compressor, capable of continuous operation for demanding tasks.

Power supply

Units of this power rating typically require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, common in UK industrial settings.

Compressor type

Given the model designation, this is likely a rotary screw compressor, known for continuous duty and efficiency.

Footprint

For a 15kW rotary screw compressor, the footprint typically ranges from 1.5m x 0.8m to 2m x 1m, depending on whether it's a standalone unit or integrated with an air receiver.
