Piston air compressors
Rugged reciprocating compressors from workshop duty up to 70 bar. Low RPM, fully air cooled and easy to maintain. VIMCO supplies, installs and services them.
What is inside
Easy to maintain, built to last
Comptech designs its reciprocating range around low RPM and easy access to wearing parts.
Low RPM design
Low speed for longer life and quieter running.
Longer lifeService friendly
Individually cast cylinders, piston wear sleeves and 15,000-hour bearings are easy to reach and replace.
Quick maintenancePiston rings and cylinders
Imported piston rings and precision-bored cylinders keep oil carryover and wear low.
Lowest oil carryoverValves
Concentric ring valves in imported stainless steel.
Higher efficiencyCrankcase and shaft
High grade hardened cast iron.
Better life, less downtimeBig coolers
Large air and oil coolers sized for hot Indian conditions.
Better cooling, longer lifeFully air cooled
No cooling water circuit to maintain.
Simple installationLow life-cycle cost
Designed to run for decades.
Comptech statesPiston or screw?

How long to fill your receiver?
Enter the receiver and compressor to estimate the fill time.
Receiver fill time
How long a compressor takes to bring a receiver up to pressure.
Ideal estimate. Real fill time is longer as the compressor works against rising pressure.
