Use these guides to understand compressor output, variable-speed operation, receiver storage, air treatment, installation planning and the practical factors that affect compressor selection. For exact model specifications, always use the current controlled Pneumatix product documentation.
Start with the decision you are trying to make
If you are choosing a compressor, begin with the sizing guide and the workshop or application guidance. If you are planning a complete installation, also review the compressed-air systems and installation guides so the receiver, drying, filtration, pipework, electrical supply, ventilation and service access are considered together.
Rotary screw air compressors
Understand rotary screw air compressors, FAD, pressure, VSD control, receiver storage, air treatment and Total Air Station versus Base Mount selection.
VSD air compressors
Learn how variable-speed rotary screw compressors respond to changing demand and what to consider for sizing, storage, pressure and system control.
How to choose a workshop air compressor
Choose a workshop rotary screw compressor using actual tool demand, simultaneous use, receiver storage, pressure, air treatment and electrical capacity.
Plan the complete compressed-air system
Plan a complete compressed-air system around the compressor, receiver, dryer, filtration, condensate management, pipework and electrical supply.
How to size an air compressor
A practical air-compressor sizing guide using equipment airflow, duty cycle, simultaneous demand, pressure, receiver storage and future growth.
Choosing the compressor
Published free-air-delivery figures provide a common basis for comparing the current range, but the correct selection depends on the site. Check equipment consumption, simultaneous demand, required pressure, duty cycle, leaks, storage and expected growth before settling on an output level.
Planning the complete compressed-air system
The compressor is only one part of the system. Receiver capacity, refrigerated drying, filtration, condensate management, pipework pressure drop, site ventilation and available electrical capacity should be considered before installation.
Use current controlled product documents for exact specifications
Guides explain selection and system planning. Product-specific dimensions, weights, service references and technical values should be taken from the current controlled Pneumatix documentation for the exact model. Superseded documents should not be used for installation or product comparison.
Need help applying the information?
If you already work with a Pneumatix dealer, continue directly with them. Pneumatix can also help clarify product information, narrow the compressor selection and identify the appropriate dealer or support pathway where required.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start if I do not know my required airflow?
List the air-consuming equipment, note operating pressure and estimate which items can run at the same time. The compressor sizing guide explains the next steps.
Are the guides a substitute for the product specification?
No. Use the guides for selection and planning, then use the current controlled product document for exact specifications of the selected model.
Where can I find service and warranty information?
Use the Warranty, Parts and Service page or contact your supplying dealer, an approved service provider or Pneumatix for the appropriate support pathway.
