Ingersoll Rand - Air Compressor

Applications & Use Cases

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery operation in food production lines.
• Supplying air for packaging equipment, including form-fill-seal machines and labelling systems.
• Used for general plant air requirements, such as cleaning, drying, and instrument air.
• Operating air-actuated valves and control systems within processing plants.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly offer free air delivery (FAD) ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 m³/min (50-90 CFM) at standard operating pressures.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, suitable for industrial environments in the UK.

Operating pressure

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

Air treatment

The 'TAS' in the model name often indicates a 'Total Air System', typically including an integrated dryer and filtration for clean, dry air suitable for food processing.

Footprint

For a unit of this capacity, the footprint is typically compact, designed for integration into existing plant layouts, often with dimensions around 1000mm x 700mm x 1200mm (LWH).

Noise level

Modern industrial compressors of this type are typically designed for lower noise operation, often around 65-75 dB(A), for improved workplace conditions.
