Compressors – Compressed-Air Solutions for Transfer Presses
Compressors supply your pneumatic transfer press with the necessary, constant contact pressure. This gives you a reliable and even compressed-air supply for your production. Whether standard press or large-format model – with the right compressor you reliably cover your individual compressed-air needs.
With a compressor, the right size for your specific press is what counts, in order to ensure reliable and constant contact pressure. In the Compressors category, Print Equipment offers you matching compressed-air solutions for our pneumatic transfer presses. In the Compressors category you'll find the right compressor for your workflow.
What defines compressors?
Compressors generate the compressed air your pneumatic transfer press needs for constant contact pressure. A suitable compressor size is decisive for a reliable, even compressed-air supply in continuous operation.
The typical use of a compressor is clearly structured:
- The compressor is connected to the pneumatic transfer press
- It continuously builds up the necessary pressure in the tank and keeps it constant
- The transfer press draws the pneumatic contact pressure for every pressing cycle from it
- When needed, the compressor switches on automatically to refill the pressure tank
Compressors thus ideally complement our Pneumatic Flat Presses category and are a sensible addition to our Large-Format Presses category.
Why compressors are indispensable
Compressors play an important role for the reliable operation of your pneumatic transfer press. Only with a suitably dimensioned compressed-air supply can constant contact pressure be ensured throughout the entire production.
The most important advantages include:
- Constant compressed-air supply: Reliable contact pressure throughout the entire production flow
- Matching tank size: From 24 to 50 liters depending on the press model
- Different designs: Oil-free or oil-lubricated depending on the area of use. Your specific transfer press is decisive for the choice.
- Necessary prerequisite: Without a matching compressor, operating pneumatic presses is not possible
- Ideal for professional daily production: Popular with businesses using pneumatic transfer presses
This makes compressors indispensable both for getting started in pneumatic production and for large-format operation.
Which compressor sizes are there?
In the Compressors category, both a compact 24-liter and a larger 50-liter compressor are available to you.
Workhorse Turbo air compressor (24 liters)
The Workhorse Turbo air compressor (SKU START-FKOMP-120-T) supplies our standard large-format presses such as the SLIDE-655 and SLIDE-865 with the necessary compressed air.
Typical characteristics are:
- Tank volume 24 liters, output 1,500 watts
- Oil-free operation for particularly clean compressed air
- Cut-out pressure 9 bar, cut-in pressure 6 bar
This makes the Workhorse Turbo ideal for reliable operation of our standard large-format presses.
Compressor starter kit (50 liters)
The compressor starter kit (SKU START-KOMP-111) supplies our more powerful Pro models such as the DUPLEX-PRO-V3, DUPLEX-AIR-PRO-V3 and our SLIDE-1285 large-format press.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Tank volume 50 liters for a larger air reserve
- Oil-lubricated operation for permanently reliable use
- Cut-out pressure around 8 bar, cut-in pressure around 5 bar
With the compressor starter kit you thus find the matching solution for our more powerful press models.
Our compressor range at a glance
In Print Equipment's Compressors category you'll find a compact 24-liter and a larger 50-liter compressor for your pneumatic transfer press.
Typical advantages:
- Matched to press size: Two compressor sizes for different press models
- Reliable brands: Proven compressed-air solutions in the range
Our compressor range is thus a sensible addition if you want to take care of the reliable operation of your pneumatic transfer press.
What to look out for when buying a compressor
If you want to buy a compressor for your transfer press, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Press compatibility: Check which compressor is recommended for your specific press model
- Tank size: Choose a sufficient tank volume for your production flow
- Design: Decide between oil-free and oil-lubricated operation
- Output: Make sure the wattage is sufficient for constant pressure build-up
- Installation site: Consider the required space and power connection at the place of use
The right selection ensures that you work reliably and consistently with your pneumatic transfer press.
Compressors for different applications
Depending on the press model, the demands on your compressor vary considerably. While the 24-liter compressor reliably supplies our standard large-format presses, the 50-liter starter kit provides a larger air reserve for our more powerful Pro models and the largest large-format press.
The choice of the right compressor therefore depends strongly on which transfer press you operate and how high your air demand is in continuous operation. When buying, always pay attention to the specific compressor recommendation for your press model.
