Electric Basemount Air Compressors
Choose between Tanair and FINI electric basemount piston compressor ranges for fixed workshop, engineering and industrial compressed-air installations.
Electric Basemount Compressors for Fixed Installations
A basemount compressor supplies the compressor and motor assembly without an integral air receiver. It can be connected to a suitable separate receiver or incorporated into an existing compressed-air system where the airflow, pressure, controls and electrical supply are correctly matched.

Existing Air Receiver
A basemount unit can suit installations where a correctly sized and serviceable air receiver is already in place.
System Integration
It can form part of a wider compressed-air package where receiver capacity, controls, pipework and safety equipment are specified separately.
Replacement Duty
Basemount compressors can be considered for replacement applications after checking airflow, pressure, motor requirements and physical compatibility.
How to Choose the Correct Basemount Compressor
Airflow Requirement
Add together the air demand of equipment that may operate at the same time and allow sensible capacity for pressure losses and future demand.
Working Pressure
Confirm the pressure required at the point of use rather than selecting on receiver size or motor power alone.
Electrical Supply
Check the exact voltage, phase, motor current, starting method and protective equipment required for the selected compressor.
Basemount vs Receiver-Mounted Compressor
A receiver-mounted compressor combines the compressor assembly and air receiver as one package. A basemount model is supplied without the integral receiver, giving more flexibility where a separate receiver already exists or where the compressor is being incorporated into a bespoke installation.
If you are replacing an existing machine, do not match only the horsepower or mounting footprint. Airflow, working pressure, duty cycle, electrical supply, control method and receiver suitability should all be checked before ordering.

Electric Basemount Compressor FAQs
Does a basemount compressor include an air receiver?
No. A basemount compressor does not have an integral receiver and is intended to connect to a suitable separate receiver or correctly designed compressed-air system.
Can I connect a basemount compressor to my existing receiver?
Potentially, but the receiver condition, capacity, pressure rating, controls, safety devices and wider installation must be checked for compatibility with the new compressor.
How do I choose the correct compressor size?
Start with required airflow and working pressure, then consider duty cycle, available electrical supply, receiver capacity and the way the compressor will be controlled.
Can I replace an existing compressor with the same horsepower?
Horsepower alone is not enough to confirm a suitable replacement. Compare airflow, pressure, voltage, phase, starting requirements, duty and system compatibility.
Do you offer help with sizing and installation?
Yes. Compressed Air Systems UK can help with compressor selection, system sizing and installation requirements. Call 0121 753 3330 to discuss the application.
