Tanair Variable Speed Screw Air Compressors are engineered to deliver measurable energy savings without compromising performance. By automatically adjusting motor speed to match real-time air demand, VSD technology eliminates the wasted energy associated with traditional fixed-speed compressors.
What this means for your business:
- Lower electricity costs: Variable speed control can reduce energy consumption by up to 35% compared to fixed-speed systems, especially in part-load conditions.
- Fast return on investment: Many installations achieve payback within 12–36 months purely through reduced energy spend.
- Reduced carbon footprint: Improved efficiency lowers overall power usage, helping you meet sustainability targets and reduce operational emissions.
- Stable pressure & improved reliability: Smooth speed control reduces mechanical stress, minimises load/unload cycling, and extends component lifespan.

FAQs
How much can I save with a VSD compressor?
Savings depend on operating hours and how much your air demand fluctuates. Many applications reduce energy use significantly, with some seeing up to ~35% reduction.
Is a variable speed compressor worth it?
If your demand varies across the day, VSD typically reduces running costs and improves pressure stability, making it a smart long-term investment for many sites.
Which size do I need?
It depends on your required CFM and duty cycle. Share your tools/processes and operating hours and we’ll size the system correctly for performance and efficiency.
