Discover the Versatility of Piston Air Compressors with Air Kraft
Air Kraft offers a comprehensive selection of piston or reciprocating air compressors, both lubricated and oil-free, to meet various industrial needs. These compressors are available in multiple motor sizes and pressure ratings, ensuring the right fit for your application.
Why would I use a piston compressor?
A piston compressor, also known as a reciprocating compressor, is commonly used for applications that require high pressure and intermittent or fluctuating air demand. They offer the following advantages:
Consider factors such as required pressure, duty cycle, noise level, and airflow requirements when determining whether a piston compressor is the right choice for your specific application.
Lubricated Piston Compressors
Our lubricated piston range includes the LE and LT models (1.5 - 45 kW), along with LB boosters up to 30 kW and 300 bar. These units are ideal for applications where traces of oil in the compressed air are acceptable.
-
Reliable by design - Built with high-quality materials and a fan system that enhances cooling and reduces vibration for longer service life
-
Efficient operation - Durable components and a start-stop system help reduce energy consumption and running costs
-
Easy to maintain - All parts and service points are easily accessible for quick and simple maintenance.
Automan Series Compressors
The Automan range is available in both aluminium and cast iron models, offering reliable performance for light to medium-duty applications.
-
AH Series – Oil-Free and Low Maintenance
Lightweight and oil-free, the AH models are perfect for jobs where smaller volumes of compressed air are needed. With the motor flanged directly to the compressor block and no oil to replace, maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum. They can even be laid flat for easy transport. -
User-Friendly by Design
Equipped with robust wheels and handles (model dependent) for easy mobility, Automan compressors include overload protection, a powder-coated air receiver with drain, pressure switch controls, and dual gauges for simple, precise operation.
Oil-Free Piston Compressors
Our oil-free piston range – including the LZ, LF, LFx, and LFxD series – delivers 100% clean, TÜV-certified air for applications where air purity is critical. Available from 0.55 kW to 15 kW and up to 10 bar, they offer flexible configurations to suit your setup.
-
Versatile options – Choose from pack or full-feature models, base or tank-mounted versions, with multiple voltage and pressure options available
-
Certified clean air – ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certified for zero risk of oil contamination. Full-feature units include dryers and filters as standard
-
Proven reliability – Durable stainless steel valves and up to 16,000 hours of running life. No oil changes required means low maintenance and reduced costs
-
Ideal for sensitive environments – Designed to meet the strictest international air quality standards with minimal cost of ownership
