Fonostop Series - Belt-driven piston compressor
Piston technology
A piston compressor consists of one or more cylinders with pistons driven by a motor. The air is sucked into the cylinder and then compressed, in one or more stages to the operational pressure. After compression, the compressed air passes through the after-cooler and continues on to the air tank.
Application areas
Piston compressors are suitable for small compressed air requirements; one-stage compressors for pressures up to about 8 bar, while several stage versions can produce up to 15 bar. Operation should be intermittent. An air-cooled piston compressor’s load level must not exceed 60-70%. After 2 minutes of compression, the compressor must rest for at least 1.5 minutes. We recommend keeping the total compression time per day to approximately 4 hours.
A compressor for indoor installation
These silenced piston compressors are the perfect choice for indoor installations. Thanks to their low residual noise level, they can be installed near the workplace which reduces the length of your piping system as well as the related pressure drop.
