KAESER Industrial Reciprocating compressors model KCT 550-100 (horizontal) oil-free with sound enclosure

Oil-free piston compressor - 390 l/min at 6 bar, max. 10 bar, 90 l horizontal tank with soundproofing hood

The KAESER KCT 550-100 is an oil-free industrial piston compressor in a c horizontal design with 90-liter compressed air tank (internally coated). This oil-free air compressor delivers 390 l/min effective volume flow at 6 bar and 3.0 kW rated power at a maximum overpressure of 10 bar. The direct-coupled drive operates at a low speed of just 1,500 rpm - this ensures a long service life, low wear and low operating noise. The silencing hood fitted as standard significantly reduces the noise level and enables use even in noise-sensitive environments.

Application areas

The KCT 550-100 is particularly suitable for applications where oil-free compressed air is required - in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, electronics production, dental surgeries and laboratories. As the air is compressed oil-free, there is no need for oil changes and oil checks, and no oil-contaminated condensate is produced that would have to be disposed of separately. The long-lasting Teflon piston rings guarantee permanent oil-free compression.

Quality and production

Like all oil-free industrial compressors in the KCT series, the KCT 550-100 is also manufactured at the KAESER plant in Coburg - Made in Germany. The double cooling system with aluminum cylinder heads ensures excellent heat dissipation and a longer service life. The direct-coupled drive with only 1,500 rpm is maintenance-free and works without transmission losses. Every piston compressor undergoes an extensive test run under realistic operating conditions before delivery.
