At KUT Machinery, our team supplied, installed, tested and commissioned the complete Tanair compressed air system before carrying out a full customer handover, ensuring the equipment was ready for immediate operation.
Our engineers don't just install compressors—they deliver complete compressed air systems designed for long-term reliability, efficiency and ongoing support.
Key Equipment Within the System
The compressor, air-treatment package and receiver each perform a different function. Together, they provide the airflow, air quality and storage required to support the showroom machinery.
Air Generation
Tanair TAN-S 22VSD Compressor
The Tanair TAN-S 22VSD supplies the compressed air required by the connected equipment.
Its variable speed drive adjusts output as demand changes, helping reduce unnecessary running while maintaining dependable pressure.
- 22kW industrial screw compressor
- Variable speed output control
- Up to 113 CFM airflow
- Reduced unnecessary off-load operation
Air Treatment
Tanair TAN-RD-36 Dryer Package
Compressing atmospheric air produces condensate, which must be controlled before the air reaches production equipment.
The Tanair TAN-RD-36 package combines refrigeration drying with filtration to reduce moisture and airborne contamination.
- Refrigeration air drying
- High-efficiency filtration
- Reduced moisture carryover
- Protection for downstream equipment
Air Storage
500-Litre Vertical Air Receiver
The 500-litre vertical receiver stores compressed air and provides additional capacity when demand rises briefly.
Its vertical design delivers useful storage without occupying excessive showroom floor space.
- 500-litre storage capacity
- Helps manage short demand peaks
- Supports smoother system operation
- Space-efficient vertical format
Designed Around the Application
Every Application Has Different Compressed Air Requirements
No two compressed air installations are the same. Choosing the correct compressor involves much more than selecting a motor size. Understanding how the equipment will be used is essential to specifying a system that delivers dependable performance today while allowing for future business growth.
Before recommending any equipment, our engineers assess airflow requirements, operating pressure, duty cycle, air quality, installation layout and anticipated demand. This allows every major component to be correctly specified from the outset.
By designing the system around the application, rather than simply selecting a compressor, we help customers avoid unnecessary energy costs, poor performance and expensive upgrades later.
- Required airflow (CFM)
- Operating pressure
- Machine duty cycle
- Air quality requirements
- Pipework layout
- Pressure losses
- Energy efficiency
- Future expansion

How Compressed Air Quality Affects Machinery Performance
Manufacturing equipment depends on more than sufficient airflow. Pressure stability, moisture control and effective filtration all influence reliability, efficiency and the quality of the air reaching connected machinery.
The finished air supply was designed to provide the pressure, treatment and storage required for dependable showroom operation.
Stable Pressure
Consistent pressure helps machinery operate predictably and reduces interruptions caused by sudden changes in air demand.
Moisture Reduction
Refrigeration drying reduces water entering pipework, pneumatic controls and production equipment.
Contamination Control
Filtration reduces solid particles, water aerosols and oil aerosols before the air reaches downstream equipment.
Reliable Operation
Suitable air treatment and pressure control help limit avoidable faults, contamination and disruption.
Efficient Air Generation
Variable speed control allows compressor output to follow actual demand more closely, reducing unnecessary running.
Capacity for Changing Demand
Receiver storage and correctly sized pipework help the system respond when airflow demand rises.
Engineered for Reliability. Built for Industry.
The compressor is the heart of every compressed air system, which is why selecting the right machine matters. For the KUT Machinery installation, the Tanair TAN-S 22VSD Variable Speed Screw Compressor was chosen to deliver dependable performance, excellent energy efficiency and the flexibility to respond to changing air demand.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, the Tanair VSD range combines robust engineering with intelligent control technology to help businesses reduce energy consumption while maintaining a reliable compressed air supply.
When combined with correctly specified air treatment, storage and professionally installed pipework, the result is a compressed air system built for long-term performance and straightforward maintenance.

Compressed Air System FAQs
Every compressed air installation is different. Here are answers to some of the questions we are most commonly asked when specifying compressed air systems for manufacturing equipment.
What size compressor is needed for manufacturing machinery?
Compressor size depends on the required airflow, operating pressure, duty cycle, usage pattern and any other equipment connected to the same system. The full application should be assessed before a compressor is selected.
Why is a refrigeration dryer required?
Compressing atmospheric air produces condensate. A refrigeration dryer reduces moisture within the air supply, helping protect pipework, pneumatic components and downstream machinery.
What does a compressed air receiver do?
An air receiver stores compressed air and acts as a buffer within the system. It can support short peaks in demand, help stabilise pressure and reduce rapid compressor cycling.
Why is compressed air filtration important?
Filtration reduces solid particles, water aerosols and oil aerosols within the compressed air stream, helping protect downstream machinery and support reliable operation.
Can Compressed Air Systems UK install the full system?
Yes. We can supply the compressor, refrigeration dryer, filtration, air receiver, condensate drainage and compressed air pipework, followed by installation, commissioning and customer handover.
Do you provide servicing after installation?
Yes. Our compressed air servicing includes planned maintenance, replacement parts and technical support. We also provide 24/7 emergency breakdown assistance when urgent help is required.
