Kaeser's 10 HP Screw Compressor Models

Standard 10 HP Air Compressor

Kaeser's standard SM 10 hp screw compressor model, offers impressive performance and quiet operation. It features a robust design with super-silenced, vibration-dampening, and powder-coated panels, suitable for ambient temperatures up to +115 °F. The unit is equipped with an IE3 premium efficiency motor (IP 54) and an innovative dual-flow fan with separate airflow channels for efficient cooling of the motor, fluid/compressed air cooler, and control cabinet. Key fluid and airflow features include a 'Honeycomb' air intake filter, pneumatic inlet and venting valves, a triple-separation system in the cooling fluid separator tank, and comprehensive pressure and fluid management components.

10 HP Air Compressor with Integrated Dryer

SM 10T - 10 hp screw compressor with dryer

The SM 10T is a rotary screw compressor with integrated refrigerated dryer sized for the full flow of the compressor. The dryer is located in a separate cabinet so it is not exposed to preheated air or contaminants from the compressor package.

Energy-Saving Control:

The integrated refrigerated dryer in "T” units provides high efficiency performance thanks to its energy saving control. The dryer is active only when compressed air actually needs to be dried. This approach achieves the required compressed air quality with maximum efficiency.

Eco-Drain:

The integrated refrigerated dryer also features a zero loss Eco-Drain. The advanced level-controlled condensate drain eliminates the compressed air losses associated with solenoid valve control. This saves energy and considerably enhances the reliability of the compressed air supply.

Climate-Friendly Design:

In addition to energy-saving controls, our integrated dryers feature the new R-513A refrigerant with 56% lower global warming potential than common dryer refrigerants. Combined with our advanced heat exchanger design, we need only half the refrigerant — resulting in the most climate-friendly dryer possible.

Complete 10HP Compressed Air System

kaeser aircenter 10 hp compressed air system

To simplify your compressed air system, KAESER offers the AIRCENTER. This unit combines essential compressed air system components in one easy-to-install package. AIRCENTERS come completely assembled and include a refrigerated dryer with automatic condensate drain, receiver tank, and an optional filtration package. These super quiet and energy efficient units are compact and perfect for installations where space is limited. Learn about AIRCENTER compressed air packages here. The SM 10 AIRCENTER is also available with variable frequency drive: the AIRCENTER SFC 8.

10HP Rotary Screw Compressor with Variable Speed Drive

SFC 8T - 10 hp screw compressor with variable speed drive and dryer

The SFC 8 10-hp rotary screw compressors is the perfect solution for smaller compressed air systems with varying air demand to achieve significant energy savings while maintaining stable pressure. KAESER SFC units are up to 18% more efficient than the competition. The SFC 8T model has an integrated dryer. Learn more about Kaeser's SFC series of compressors with variable speed drive.

A variable speed screw compressor should be the most frequently loaded unit in a properly designed system. Each is optimized to deliver significantly more air with lower kW than comparable compressors.

AIRCENTER DUPLEX

The 10-hp AIRCENTER DUPLEX comes in two configurations. Each includes two SX 5-hp rotary screw compressors mounted on a horizontal receiver tank, plus a refrigerated dryer:

AIRCENTER DUPLEX SX 5 with KRYOSEC dryer
AIRCENTER DUPLEX SX 5 with SECOTEC dryer
