Airwave Micro Speed Air Compressor 5.5 Hp 160 Litre

19CFM Variable Speed Screw Compressor Airwave Micro Speed 5.5kW 160L. A screw compressor that runs on single phase - without the compromise. Most garages that need serious compressed air capacity also need three phase power to get it. The Airwave Micro Speed is different. Rotary screw compressors at this output level have traditionally needed a three phase supply. The Micro Speed runs on single phase 240V and delivers up to 19.42CFM at 7 bar. Running at 60dB, it is also significantly quieter than piston compressors at comparable output. In a garage where the air line is running most of the day, 60dB will make a real difference to the working environment. 

How variable speed technology changes the way your compressor works

The Micro Speed uses direct drive variable speed technology, which means the motor adjusts its output to match what your garage is actually demanding at any given moment. Rather than cycling on and off at a fixed rate, it ramps up when you need more air and backs down when demand is lower. The result is a compressor that is doing exactly the right amount of work at any given time.

• Running at 60dB, it is significantly quieter than piston compressors of comparable output - essential across a full working day when it is running in the background.
  The touch screen control system provides full monitoring functionality with maintenance alerts to reduce the need for manual checks.
• The 7-day scheduling function allows programmable start and stop times so the compressor is ready for use when your team arrives each morning. 
• The thermostatically controlled cooling system automatically responds to operating temperatures to maintain performance without manual adjustment.
• The soft start technology reduces start-up amp draw to protect the electrical supply and minimise strain on the motor during ignition.
• The solid seamless pipework design reduces the number of internal joints and fittings, lowering maintenance requirements and potential air loss over time.

What it means to have a compressor your garage can genuinely depend on
There is a real difference between compressed air that is available and compressed air that is dependable. The Micro Speed is a 100% duty cycle machine, built to run continuously through a full shift without being cycled off to recover. For a busy garage, that means your team is never waiting.

The touch screen monitoring and seven day programmable timer also mean your compressor is working with your garage schedule rather than against it. It is ready before the first technician picks up a tool and it alerts you to service intervals before they become an issue rather than after.

The Airwave Micro Speed 5.5HP gives a single phase garage access to rotary screw performance that was previously out of reach without a supply upgrade. If your current compressor is the bottleneck in your garage, this is the air compressor for you. Place your order today and this will be dispatched directly to your garage.
