Industrial Compressors – 100 to 270 Litres

An oil-free compressor compresses air without oil in the pump, so the air is cleaner, which is useful for the food industry, painting or precision instruments. The lubricated belt-drive compressor is more common in workshops and fabrication shops and requires periodic oil checks. Choose according to the air purity you need and the intended use.

The dryer removes moisture from the compressed air, which would otherwise condense in the pipework and could damage tools and painting equipment. It is needed where the air must stay dry, such as spray painting or with precision pneumatic tools. The collection includes compressors with an integrated dryer, such as the Abac Tech ATF and the B5900B.

Tank capacity determines how long air remains available before the motor restarts. For workshops with constant consumption, 200 and 270 litre tanks reduce restarts and stabilise the pressure. Still, check the flow rate your tools require before choosing the size.

The two-stage model is designed for intensive use at higher pressures, such as in industrial processes with demanding tools or in installations where air is needed continuously. The listings include the two-stage B5900B and the double-stage A49B at 11 bar. Choose two-stage when a single stage cannot reach the pressure you need.

Yes, the collection includes silenced 270-litre compressors, such as the Pulsar Ultimate K50-270-10 from Fini and the S A39B 270 CT4 from Abac. Silencing reduces the noise, but the choice should be made by looking at the declared sound level and where the machine is placed. D.Lgs. 81/2008 (the Italian Legislative Decree on workplace safety) requires noise risk to be assessed in the workplace.

For work where there is no electricity the category includes petrol engine compressors, with a combustion engine that powers the compressor directly. They suit road works, excavations and countryside jobs. Use them outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, because they release exhaust gases. Check fuel consumption and the pressure available before choosing.

Every day drain condensation from the tank, then check the oil level and the condition of the belt. Change filters and oil at regular intervals as specified in the manual, and have the safety valve and pressure gauge checked periodically. A regularly maintained compressor avoids production stoppages and air leaks.

The tank is a pressure vessel, so it must be installed on a solid base, in a ventilated place, with a working safety valve and a readable pressure gauge. D.Lgs. 81/2008 requires risk assessment, operator training and the use of protective equipment. For periodic inspections of the tank, follow the legal requirements in force.
