Premium Compressed Air Stations: AIRCENTER

Quality doesn't need a lot of space

AIRCENTER compressed air stations (*) by KAESER provide their owners with complete solutions in premium quality. Featuring a rotary screw compressor with SIGMA PROFILE airend technology, an add-on refrigeration dryer and a compressed air receiver, these space-saving systems provide an uncomplicated compressed air supply that is suited to a wide of applications. The SX, SM and SK series AIRCENTER feature these technical parameters:

  • Pressure: 125. 160, or 217 psig
  • Flow rate range: 9 to 90 cfm

Our premium compressed air stations require little space and are the perfect solution for smaller industrial operations.

Your advantages

  • Space-saving integrated solution:
    Compressor, refrigerated dryer and air receiver tank in one quiet, air compressor package.
  • Protection from corrosion damage:
    Thanks to the integrated refrigerated dryer, the system delivers high air quality and protects your equipment from corrosion damage.
  • Fast installation:
    Simply connect to the power supply and compressed air distribution network—no need to worry about major piping or installation work.

* This dryer series contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. All models contain refrigerant R-513A (GWP 631).
