Tanair Belt-Driven Piston Compressors

Tanair Workshop Lubricated Belt-Driven Air Compressors

Receiver-mounted Tanair piston compressors for garages, workshops, engineering departments and light-industrial applications, with single-phase and three-phase options to suit different air demands.

Tanair Workshop Belt-Driven Compressors

Designed for professional workshop use, the Tanair TAN-PCB range combines oil-lubricated belt-driven piston pumps with practical receiver-mounted configurations. Choose the compressor around required airflow, working pressure and duty cycle, then confirm the electrical supply and receiver capacity that best suit the installation.

Tanair Workshop Compressor Range

Compare airflow, receiver capacity and electrical supply below. For air-tool and process sizing, allow suitable capacity above the expected demand and consider the required duty cycle as well as headline CFM.

TAN-PCB Model & Output Guide

The TAN-PCB receiver-mounted workshop range steps from a compact single-phase machine through to higher-output three-phase compressors for larger air demands.

Airflow sizing: choose the compressor around the usable airflow required by your tools or equipment and allow sensible headroom for pressure losses, simultaneous demand and the expected duty cycle.

Choosing the Right Tanair Workshop Compressor

Check Air DemandAdd together the airflow required by equipment that may operate at the same time and allow spare capacity rather than sizing exactly to the demand.
Confirm Working PressureThe TAN-PCB workshop machines shown are rated to 10 bar. Allow for pressure losses through pipework, hoses, filters and regulators.
Match the Electrical SupplyThe 2.2 kW model provides a 230V option, while the 4 kW, 5.5 kW and 7.5 kW machines require a suitable 415V three-phase supply.
Consider Duty CyclePiston compressors are typically selected for intermittent demand. Where air is required continuously for long periods, ask us to compare the duty with a rotary screw compressor.
Choose Receiver CapacityA larger receiver provides a greater stored-air reserve for short peaks in demand, but it does not increase the compressor pump's continuous output.
Plan Air TreatmentDryers, filtration, regulators and condensate treatment can be added where the application requires cleaner or drier compressed air.

Why Choose a Belt-Driven Workshop Compressor?

Workshop-Focused DesignReceiver-mounted construction provides a practical stationary compressed-air package for garages, maintenance departments and engineering workshops.
Lubricated Piston PumpOil-lubricated piston technology is a familiar workshop design and requires routine oil-level checks and model-specific servicing.
Belt DriveThe motor drives the compressor pump through a belt and pulley arrangement, with belt condition and tension included in routine maintenance.

Typical Applications

Garages & Vehicle WorkshopsGeneral compressed-air duties, inflation and correctly matched pneumatic tools.
Engineering WorkshopsIntermittent workshop air for maintenance, assembly and appropriately sized air-operated equipment.
Maintenance DepartmentsA practical fixed air source for service and repair tasks where demand suits a piston compressor duty cycle.

Routine Maintenance

Oil & Intake FilterCheck compressor oil level and intake filtration in line with the maintenance requirements for the selected machine.
Belts & CoolingInspect belt condition and tension, keep guards correctly fitted and maintain clear airflow around the pump and motor.
Receiver & CondensateDrain condensate routinely and ensure any applicable pressure-system inspection requirements are managed separately from normal servicing.

Tanair Workshop Compressor FAQs

Which Tanair workshop compressor runs on 230V?

The TAN-PCB 2.2/230/150L is the single-phase option in this receiver-mounted workshop range.

Which models require a three-phase supply?

The TAN-PCB 4/415/200L, 5.5/415/200L and 7.5/415/270L require a suitable 415V three-phase supply.

Does a larger receiver increase compressor output?

No. Receiver capacity determines how much compressed air can be stored. Continuous airflow is determined by the compressor pump and operating conditions.

Can these compressors run air tools?

Yes, where the tool airflow, working pressure and duty cycle are within the compressor's usable capacity. If several tools may operate together, their combined demand should be considered.

Can you help size the compressor?

Yes. Send us the tools or equipment being supplied, required pressure, expected daily use and the electrical supply available on site.
