The 15kW belt driven air compressor sits at the top of the piston compressor range: a two-stage, V-configuration pump coupled to a 15kW (20 HP) three-phase motor through a belt transmission, feeding a 400-litre horizontal receiver. It delivers 2000 litres of air per minute at 12.5 bar — enough to run a full workshop of air tools, a small production line, or high-pressure applications that ordinary 8-bar shop compressors simply cannot serve.
Belt drive is the reason this machine lasts. The belt acts as a mechanical fuse: shock loads and blockages slip the belt instead of destroying the pump. The large flywheel with its green cooling fan doubles as a heat sink, pulling air across the finned cylinders on every revolution. When a belt or pulley eventually wears, it is a consumable you replace in minutes with hand tools — no pump teardown, no special equipment.
At 12.5 bar, this compressor opens applications beyond general plant air: tire retreading, pressure testing, PET-style blow work at low volume, heavy impact wrenches, and any tool rated above 10 bar. It is a workhorse designed for factories, maintenance shops and OEM packages where high pressure and high volume must coexist with a realistic purchase price.
Engineering decisions that show up in uptime, service life and running cost.
V-type two-stage compression reaches 12.5 bar efficiently. Intercooling between stages reduces the work of compression, so the machine delivers 2000 L/min without overheating.
The belt transmission absorbs shock loads and jams. Belts are inexpensive consumables replaced in minutes, protecting the pump and motor from damage that direct-coupled units would suffer.
The heavy flywheel stores rotational energy, smooths piston pulses and drives an axial cooling fan across finned cylinders — stable temperatures even in continuous multi-hour duty.
The 400-litre tank buffers demand peaks, cuts start/stop cycling and keeps line pressure stable while multiple tools draw air at once.
Reduced-voltage starting lowers inrush current on a 15kW motor, protecting workshop wiring and switchgear — no soft starter or VFD required.
Splash lubrication, replaceable valves, accessible oil plug and standard belts: every wear part is field-serviceable by your own maintenance team with common tools.
What different buyers get from working with us on this platform.
2000 L/min at 12.5 bar covers whole-shape tool fleets and high-pressure jobs in one machine — fewer compressors, less piping, lower total cost.
Proven, repeatable piston platform with stable factory pricing, export-grade crating and consolidated sea-freight packing for mixed container loads.
Private labeling, custom colors, tank branding and voltage variants (415V/60Hz for Gulf and Southeast Asian markets) available on request.
Belt, valves and rings are standard consumables. We supply full spare-parts kits so your downtime is measured in hours, not weeks.
Tire service centers, pressure testing benches and 12-bar tooling finally get a piston platform that holds pressure without a booster.
We size the machine against your actual air demand, advise on piping and drainage, and document everything for installation sign-off.
Belt drive lets the pulley ratio match the pump to its sweet-spot speed, runs cooler at high pressure, and acts as a mechanical fuse — overload slips the belt instead of breaking the pump. Belts are cheap, stocked consumables.
A practical rule: heavy impact wrenches and grinders draw 300–600 L/min each. At 2000 L/min, this compressor supports several tools in simultaneous use plus leakage allowance — typically an entire maintenance workshop or a small production line.
Standard shop compressors stop at 8 bar. At 12.5 bar you can serve high-pressure tooling, pressure testing, tire retreading and long pipe runs with pressure loss — without adding a booster.
The machine runs on 380V / 50Hz three-phase with star-delta starting. Budget a dedicated breaker and correctly sized cable for a 15kW motor; no soft starter or VFD is needed. 415V/60Hz variants are available for export markets.
Daily: check oil level and drain condensate from the tank. Periodically: clean the intake filter, inspect and tension belts, change oil per schedule, and service valves. All tasks are standard piston-compressor practice your team already knows.
The compressor ships in export-grade crating, forklift-ready from the base frame. We can quote FOB, CIF or DDP terms and consolidate with other machines in the same container to save freight.
Yes — private labels, custom tank colors, your model numbering, 60Hz market variants and matched spare-parts kits are all available for brand owners and distributors.
