Tanair Workshop Compressor Options
The Tanair workshop range covers a practical spread of single-phase and three-phase duties, from the compact 2.2kW / 150-litre model through to larger 5.5kW and 7.5kW machines for higher air demand.
| Model | Airflow | Supply | Receiver | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tanair TAN-PCB 2.2/230/150L | 9.2 CFM | 230V | 150L | 10 Bar |
| Tanair TAN-PCB 4/415/200L | 21.3 CFM | 415V | 200L | 10 Bar |
| Tanair TAN-PCB 5.5/415/200L | 28.3 CFM | 415V | 200L | 10 Bar |
| Tanair TAN-PCB 7.5/415/270L | 33.9 CFM | 415V | 270L | 10 Bar |
How to Size a Workshop Piston Compressor
1. Start With Air Demand
Add the airflow required by the tools or equipment that may operate together. Allow sensible headroom rather than sizing exactly to the stated figure.
2. Confirm Working Pressure
Check the pressure required at the point of use and allow for losses through pipework, hoses, filters and regulators.
3. Check Duty Cycle
Piston compressors are generally suited to intermittent demand. For long, sustained production use, compare the application with a correctly sized rotary screw compressor.
4. Check Electrical Supply
The range includes 230V single-phase and 400/415V three-phase models. Confirm the exact electrical requirements before ordering or arranging installation.
5. Choose Receiver Size
A larger receiver gives more stored air and can help smooth short peaks in demand, but it does not increase the compressor pump's continuous airflow.
6. Plan Air Treatment
Some applications also require a dryer, filtration, pressure regulation or condensate treatment. These should be selected around the complete system rather than the compressor alone.
Understanding the CFM Figures
Nuair lists the Workshop Series capacity figures as compressor displacement. When sizing a compressor, compare the selected model's specification with the real air demand of the application and allow suitable headroom.
Workshop Compressor Maintenance
Oil & Intake Filtration
Maintain the correct compressor oil level and replace service items in line with the model-specific maintenance schedule.
Belts & Cooling
Inspect belt condition and tension, and keep the pump, motor and cooling surfaces clean and adequately ventilated.
Receiver & Condensate
Drain condensate routinely and ensure applicable pressure-system inspection requirements are handled separately from normal compressor servicing.

Workshop Belt-Driven Compressor FAQs
How many compressors are available in this range?
The range includes 20 Tanair and Nuair workshop belt-driven piston compressors.
What receiver sizes are available?
Receiver sizes range from 50 litres up to 270 litres.
Are single-phase and three-phase models available?
Yes. There are 230V single-phase models and 400/415V three-phase models, depending on the compressor.
Does a larger receiver increase CFM?
No. Receiver capacity stores compressed air; it does not increase the compressor pump's continuous airflow.
Are these suitable for continuous production use?
These are piston compressors and should be selected around the required duty cycle. Where air is needed continuously for long periods, a rotary screw compressor may be more appropriate.

Send MessageBelt Drive Vertical Piston Air Compressors (2.2kW – 4kW)
Belt drive vertical piston air compressors in the 2.2kW to 4kW range offer a reliable and efficient compressed air solution for workshops, garages and light industrial applications. Combining compact design with dependable performance, these compressors are ideal where floor space is limited but consistent air delivery is essential.
Compact Vertical Design
The vertical receiver configuration provides a space-saving footprint, making these compressors suitable for smaller plant rooms and workshop environments. The upright design also allows improved access to key service components, simplifying maintenance and routine inspections.
Reliable Performance for Professional Use
With power outputs between 2.2kW and 4kW, these compressors deliver dependable air pressure and flow for a wide range of tasks, including:
- Powering pneumatic tools
- Operating workshop machinery
- Automotive and tyre bay applications
- Light manufacturing and fabrication
The combination of strong air delivery and efficient motor performance ensures smooth operation throughout the working day.
Advantages of Belt Drive Operation
The belt drive system separates the motor from the pump using pulleys and belts. This design reduces vibration and lowers operating noise compared to many direct drive models. Slower pump speeds also minimise heat build-up and mechanical wear, helping extend component lifespan.
- Quieter running performance
- Reduced vibration and mechanical stress
- Improved cooling and longevity
- Flexible motor and pump configurations
Built for Durability
Manufactured using robust components and high-quality materials, belt drive vertical piston compressors are designed for continuous operation in demanding environments. They maintain stable pressure output and reliable airflow without excessive strain on internal parts.
Simple Maintenance & Long Service Life
Routine servicing is straightforward thanks to the accessible vertical layout. Tasks such as belt adjustment, oil changes and general inspection can be carried out quickly, helping maintain peak efficiency and maximise operational lifespan.
