KAESER SM 16-8 T SC3: Screw compressor with refrigeration dryer, max. 8 bar
The KAESER The SM 16-8 T SC3 is an industrial oil-lubricated screw compressor with an integrated refrigeration dryer, 9.0 kW drive power (IE3), and a flow rate of 1.61 m³/min at a maximum operating pressure of 8 bar. The refrigeration dryer uses the refrigerant R-513A and produces a pressure dew point of +3 °C—ensuring that dry, condensate-free compressed air reliably reaches the end user.
The highly efficient compressor block with SIGMA PROFIL and the IE3 motor ensure economical operation at a sound pressure level of just 66 dB(A). The SIGMA CONTROL 3 M touchscreen control monitors the compressor and refrigeration dryer via the color display. The robust design is engineered for continuous industrial operation.
Its compact dimensions of 630 × 1090 × 1100 mm (W × D × H), combined with a weight of 315 kg and a G 3/4 compressed air connection, make installation easy. The maintenance-friendly design, with easily accessible service components, reduces operating costs over the entire service life.
Recommended Applications: Designed for manufacturing facilities with continuous compressed air demand and requirements for dry compressed air—such as in plastics processing, assembly or packaging technology.
Accessories & Documentation: You can find compatible compressed air filters, oil-water separators, and compressed air tanks in the Accessories section. All technical specifications, data sheets, and operating instructions are available for download in the respective tabs.
Note: The built-in refrigeration dryer contains a fluorinated greenhouse gas. Refrigerant R-513A (GWP 631).
