Mattei Air Compressor/Dryer

• General industrial workshops requiring a consistent supply of compressed air.
• Manufacturing facilities for powering pneumatic tools and machinery.
• Automotive service centres for tyre inflation, spray painting, and impact wrenches.
• Food processing plants for packaging, conveying, and instrument air (with appropriate filtration).
• Textile operations for air jet looms and other pneumatic processes.

Compressor Type

Mattei compressors typically utilise rotary vane technology, known for its reliability and quiet operation.

Typical Capacity (FAD)

For this class of equipment, Free Air Delivery (FAD) commonly ranges from 2.0 to 4.0 m³/min (70 to 140 CFM) at standard operating pressures.

Operating Pressure

Units of this type typically operate at pressures between 7 to 10 bar (100 to 145 psi).

Integrated Dryer

The 'Dryer' in the name indicates an integrated refrigeration dryer, essential for removing moisture from the compressed air.

Power Supply

Industrial compressors of this size commonly require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply.

Footprint

Mattei AC series units are generally compact, designed for efficient use of floor space in industrial settings.

Noise Level

Rotary vane compressors are typically quieter than piston compressors, often operating below 75 dB(A).

• What are the benefits of a rotary vane compressor?

  Rotary vane compressors are known for their continuous, pulsation-free air delivery, long service life, and relatively quiet operation compared to other compressor types.

• Why is an integrated dryer important?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of compressor?

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

• What does 'Sold as Seen' mean for a used unit?

Used air compressors are valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness in industrial applications. Buyers typically prioritise checking maintenance history, motor condition, and tank integrity, as these significantly affect performance and longevity. Industry sentiment favours established brands known for reliability. Common strengths include robust construction, long operational lifespan when properly maintained, and substantial savings compared to new equipment. Prospective purchasers should verify pressure ratings and output capacity match their operational requirements before committing to purchase.
