SKU: TAN-S-11VSD | Brand: Tanair Compressors
The Tanair 11kW VSD air compressor is a high-performance industrial screw air compressor designed for UK workshops and production environments where compressed air demand varies throughout the day.
Delivering 46 CFM (1.3 m³/min) at 10 Bar from a 415V three-phase supply, this Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressor automatically adjusts motor speed to match air demand. This helps reduce energy consumption while maintaining stable system pressure compared with fixed-speed compressors.
This VSD air compressor is supplied across the UK with fast delivery and expert support.

Why Choose a VSD Air Compressor?
Variable Speed Drive compressors are designed to match motor speed to real-time air demand. This improves efficiency, reduces running costs, and delivers more stable pressure compared with fixed-speed compressors.
Not Sure If 46 CFM Is Enough?
Many industrial sites underestimate their compressed air demand. Running an undersized compressor can cause pressure drops, poor equipment performance and increased wear.
Our engineers can calculate the correct compressor size based on your tools, machinery, duty cycle and operating hours.
