View Product →Choosing the Right Workshop Compressor
Match the CFM
Compare the actual airflow demand of the connected tools or equipment with the compressor's available output and expected duty cycle.
Check the Supply
The range includes 230V single-phase and 400/415V three-phase models. Confirm the electrical requirements before ordering.
Select the Receiver
Receiver size affects stored-air capacity but does not increase the compressor's continuous airflow output.
Workshop Compressor Maintenance
Oil & Filters
Check the compressor oil level and intake filtration in line with the model-specific maintenance instructions.
Belts & Cooling
Inspect belt condition and tension, and keep the pump, motor and cooling surfaces free from excessive dust and debris.
Receiver & Condensate
Drain condensate regularly and ensure any applicable pressure-system inspection requirements are addressed separately from routine servicing.

How many compressors are in this range?
The export shows 20 current product cards: four Tanair models followed by sixteen Nuair models.
What airflow range is available?
The models shown range from 9 CFM to 38.1 CFM.
What receiver sizes are available?
The current products shown cover receiver capacities from 50 litres up to 270 litres.
Are single-phase and three-phase models available?
Yes. The range includes 230V single-phase and 400/415V three-phase options depending on the model.
Can these compressors run continuously?
These are piston compressors and should be matched to the required duty cycle. Sustained high-demand applications may be better suited to a rotary screw compressor.

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.
