A Professional Installation from Start to Finish
Every compressed air installation is completed by experienced engineers.
Reliable performance depends on much more than simply positioning the equipment.
Our engineers carefully consider the system layout, ventilation and service access. They also plan the pipework route and commissioning process.
This approach helps ensure that the completed system performs reliably from day one.
At KUT Machinery, our team supplied and installed the complete Tanair compressed air system.
We then tested and commissioned every component before completing a full customer handover.
As a result, the system was ready for immediate operation.
Our engineers do more than install compressors. They deliver complete compressed air systems designed for reliability and efficiency. In addition, our team provides ongoing technical support after installation.
Key Equipment Within the System
Each part of the system performs a different role.
The compressor generates the air. The treatment package improves air quality. Meanwhile, the receiver stores additional capacity.
Together, these components support the showroom machinery.
Air Generation
Tanair TAN-S 22VSD Compressor
The Tanair TAN-S 22VSD supplies compressed air to the connected equipment.
Its variable speed drive adjusts the output as demand changes.
As a result, it helps 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

The Tanair TAN-RD-36 package combines refrigeration drying with filtration.
This helps reduce both 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.
It also provides extra capacity when demand rises for a short period.
In addition, its vertical design saves valuable 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 more than selecting a motor size.
First, our engineers assess how the equipment will be used. They also consider current demand and future growth.
This helps us specify a system that delivers reliable performance from the outset.
Before recommending equipment, we assess the required airflow and operating pressure. We also review the duty cycle, air quality and installation layout.
In addition, we consider expected demand and the potential for future expansion.
As a result, every major component can be specified correctly.
We design the complete system around the application. We do not simply select a compressor in isolation.
This approach helps reduce energy costs and avoid poor performance. It can also prevent 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 needs more than sufficient airflow.
It also relies on stable pressure, effective moisture control and suitable filtration.
Together, these factors influence reliability, efficiency and air quality.
The finished air supply was designed around the showroom machinery.
It provides the pressure, treatment and storage needed for dependable operation.
Stable Pressure
Consistent pressure helps machinery operate predictably.
It also reduces interruptions caused by sudden changes in air demand.
Moisture Reduction
Refrigeration drying reduces water within the compressed air.
As a result, less moisture reaches pipework and production equipment.
Contamination Control
Filtration reduces solid particles before the air reaches downstream equipment.
It also helps remove water aerosols and oil aerosols.
Reliable Operation
Suitable air treatment helps protect connected machinery.
In addition, pressure control can reduce avoidable faults and disruption.
Efficient Air Generation
Variable speed control allows compressor output to follow actual demand.
Therefore, the compressor can reduce unnecessary running.
Capacity for Changing Demand
Receiver storage provides additional compressed air capacity.
Correctly sized pipework also helps the system respond when demand rises.
Engineered for Reliability. Built for Industry.
The compressor is at the heart of every compressed air system.
Therefore, selecting the correct machine is essential.

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.
