Low-Noise Lubricated Piston Compressors

Silenced Belt-Drive Lubricated Air Compressors

Nuair AIRSIL and AIRSIL EVO belt-driven piston compressors for workshops and industrial applications where dependable compressed air and reduced operating noise are both important.

Lower-Noise Belt-Driven Compressors for Professional Use

The Nuair AIRSIL family combines lubricated belt-drive piston technology with acoustically engineered enclosures. The range covers compact 100-litre workshop packages through to larger stationary compressors for higher air demand, with single-phase and three-phase options available.

Nuair AIRSIL Model Guide

Choose the compressor around the real air demand of the equipment being supplied, the required working pressure and the expected duty cycle. Receiver capacity and enclosure format should then be considered alongside installation space and the available electrical supply.

Airflow note: the CFM figures above are the manufacturer's published capacity figures. Do not size a compressed-air system from receiver size alone; allow appropriate headroom for the real demand, pressure and operating pattern of the application.

Why Choose an AIRSIL Compressor?

Acoustic EnclosureThe AIRSIL cabinet is designed to reduce compressor noise in workshops and other occupied working environments.
Lubricated Belt DriveA proven belt-driven piston arrangement provides a practical option for professional intermittent compressed-air duties.
Wide Capacity RangeChoose from compact 9 CFM packages through to 43.4 CFM stationary machines for higher-demand applications.
Receiver & Floor-Mounted OptionsThe larger AIRSIL2 and AIRSIL3 machines are available in floor-mounted and receiver-mounted configurations.
10 & 11 Bar OptionsSmaller AIRSIL packages operate at up to 10 bar, while the larger AIRSIL2 and AIRSIL3 models are rated up to 11 bar.
Professional InstallationAllow suitable ventilation, service clearance, electrical protection and downstream air treatment for the intended application.

Understanding the Noise Figures

The smaller AIRSIL and AIRSIL EVO models are listed at 65 dB(A), while manufacturer literature lists the larger AIRSIL2 and AIRSIL3 floor-mounted machines at 64 dB(A). Sound data should always be checked against the exact model and the manufacturer's stated test conditions.

A silenced compressor is not silent. Installation location, room acoustics, ventilation openings and distance from the machine can all affect the sound experienced in the workplace.

Choosing the Correct Compressor

Start With Air DemandAdd the airflow required by equipment that may operate together and allow sensible headroom for leakage and future demand.
Confirm Working PressureCheck the pressure required at the point of use, including pressure losses through pipework, filters and dryers.
Match the Duty CyclePiston compressors should be selected for the expected running pattern. Sustained production demand may be better suited to a rotary screw compressor.

Silenced Belt-Drive Compressor FAQs

Are all AIRSIL compressors rated at exactly 65 dB(A)?

No. Manufacturer data lists models in this range at approximately 64 to 65 dB(A), depending on the exact machine. Check the individual model specification where noise is critical.

Are both single-phase and three-phase compressors available?

Yes. The smaller 100-litre packages include 230V and 400V options. The larger AIRSIL2 and AIRSIL3 machines use a 400V three-phase supply.

What is the difference between floor-mounted and receiver-mounted models?

A floor-mounted compressor package is intended to connect to a separate receiver or compressed-air system. Receiver-mounted versions combine the compressor with an air receiver in one package.

Does a larger receiver increase compressor output?

No. A receiver stores compressed air and can help buffer short peaks in demand, but it does not increase the compressor pump's continuous capacity.

Can you help size the compressor?

Yes. Send us the equipment being supplied, required pressure, expected running pattern and available electrical supply and we can help compare suitable models.
