Belt Drive Vertical Piston Air Compressors
Vertical receiver-mounted Nuair belt-driven piston compressors for workshops, garages and light-industrial applications where floor space is limited.
Vertical Belt-Driven Compressor Range
The vertical receiver layout reduces the floor footprint while retaining useful stored-air capacity. Choose by airflow, duty cycle and available electrical supply before using receiver size and footprint to narrow the selection.

View Product →Why Choose a Vertical Receiver?
Reduced Floor Footprint
The upright receiver arrangement can make better use of available workshop or plant-room floor space.
Useful Air Storage
Vertical receivers provide stored-air capacity without requiring the longer footprint of a conventional horizontal receiver.
Workshop Installation
These stationary compressors suit applications where the machine can remain in a fixed location with suitable ventilation and service access.
Choosing the Correct Model
Airflow First
Check the CFM required by the connected tools or machinery and allow for the expected usage pattern and duty cycle.
Electrical Supply
The range includes 230V single-phase and 400V three-phase options. Confirm the exact electrical requirements before ordering.
Receiver Size
A larger receiver stores more compressed air but does not increase the compressor pump's continuous airflow output.

How many vertical compressors are in this range?
The export shows four current Nuair vertical stationary compressor models.
What airflow is available?
The models shown range from 13.95 CFM to 22.9 CFM.
What receiver sizes are available?
The range includes 150-litre and 270-litre vertical receiver options.
Are single-phase and three-phase models available?
Yes. The range includes 230V single-phase models and 400V three-phase models.
Does a vertical receiver give more airflow?
No. The vertical receiver changes the layout and stored-air capacity, but continuous airflow is determined by the compressor pump.

Belt 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.
