    About Heavy-Duty Air Compressors

    Heavy-duty compressors run at lower RPMs, with thicker pump castings and longer service intervals than DIY-grade models. Expect 15–25 CFM at 8 bar, 12–15 bar two-stage capability and tanks from 150L to 500L.

    Most heavy-duty compressors in the UK are belt-drive piston or rotary screw. Three-phase versions are common above 4kW. Plan on a dedicated wired circuit and a moisture trap on the output.

    Top UK heavy-duty picks: SIP Airmate ISBD15/270, Hyundai HY3150V, ABAC PRO B6000, Sealey SAC52775B.
