KAESER KOMPRESSOREN, a family-owned company, has been one of the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers of compressed air products and services since 1919
KAESER SK 18-8.5 T SC3: Screw compressor with refrigeration dryer, max. 8.5 bar
The KAESER The SK 18-8.5 T SC3 is an oil-lubricated screw compressor with an integrated refrigeration dryer, 9.0 kW drive power (IE3), and a flow rate of 1.60 m³/min at a maximum operating pressure of 8.5 bar. The refrigeration dryer 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 PROFILE and the IE3 motor ensure economical operation at a sound pressure level of just 65 dB(A). The SIGMA CONTROL 3 M touchscreen control monitors the compressor and refrigeration dryer via a 5-inch color display. A Modbus-RTU interface and optional ANYbus modules enable connection to higher-level control systems. Compact dimensions of 750 × 905 × 1245 mm and a maintenance-friendly design round out the concept.
Recommended Use: Ideal for applications with strict compressed air quality requirements—such as in painting, food processing, or in moisture-sensitive production processes.
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).
