Professional Compressors

72 products · Compressors

Professional compressors supply a continuous, abundant flow of compressed air to air tools, spray-painting and sandblasting systems, and workshop and production departments. They have larger tanks and more powerful motors than compact models and are designed for frequent use in workshops and on building sites.

Types in the collection

  • Belt-driven piston compressors, sturdy and suited to heavy-duty work, with tanks from 50 litres up to 100 litres and more.
  • Direct-drive compressors, more compact and lightweight, for occasional use.
  • Silent and oil-free compressors, for environments where noise and oil-free air matter.
  • Engine-driven compressors, self-contained, for sites without mains electricity.

Brands included: Fini Compressori, Abac, Wortex and Vigor.

How to choose

Start from the tool that uses the most air: the compressor's flow rate, in litres per minute, must exceed the flow the tool requires. Then consider the working pressure, the tank volume, the power supply (single-phase 230 V, three-phase 400 V or combustion engine) and the type of use, continuous or intermittent. For spray painting and work that requires clean air, also consider filters and dryers.

Frequently asked questions: Professional Compressors
Professional belt-drive or piston compressor: what is the difference?

Among the models, the belt-drive ones, such as the PRO A49B 100-litre or the B5900B, are designed for intensive professional use. The belt transmits motion from the motor to the pump head, allowing the pump to run at lower speeds. Choose the system according to how much continuous work you expect and the space available.

How much air does a workshop with several pneumatic tools running together need?

When several tools work together you need a compressor with sufficient flow, because the pressure drops if the air demand exceeds what the compressor produces. Add up the litres-per-minute consumption of the tools used at the same time and compare it with the compressor's flow rate. A 100-litre tank helps limit how often the motor restarts.

Two-stage compressor: how does it differ from a single-stage one?

A two-stage compressor compresses the air in two passes, reaching higher pressures more efficiently and with less overheating. It suits intensive use, when high pressures are needed for long periods. The collection includes the two-stage B5900B and the double-stage Extensive A49B, which reaches 11 bar.

Diesel or petrol engine compressor for a site without mains power?

An engine-driven compressor is the choice for sites without mains power, such as roads, excavations and agricultural work. Diesel models, like the 50-litre GVD 50, are designed for prolonged use, while the petrol version, such as the DSB 22/680, suits shorter jobs. Always check the fuel range stated on the data sheet.

Silenced compressor with a soundproof canopy: is it worth it?

Soundproofed versions have a canopy that reduces compressor noise, which is useful in workshops near offices or where other people work at the same time. The canopy also makes maintenance easier. The collection includes silenced Hyundai models of 50 and 100 litres. D.Lgs. 81/2008 (the Italian Legislative Decree on workplace safety) requires noise risk to be assessed in the workplace.

Which compressor should I choose for a workshop that runs for many hours every day?

For daily, prolonged use a 100-litre belt-drive compressor is best, with a three-phase or single-phase motor suited to the electrical supply. Check the duty cycle stated by the manufacturer, that is, how long the motor can run without stopping. Respecting it prevents overheating and premature motor wear.

How do I maintain a professional compressor?

Change the oil and air filter according to the manual, check the belt tension and test the safety valve. Drain condensation from the tank every day, because water promotes internal corrosion. A regularly maintained compressor runs with fewer vibrations and lasts longer.
