Specification desk for industrial compressors

Specification pages

Specify the duty, then RFQ the plants that can build it

These pages are buyer-intent duties — kW, bar, application — not another supplier directory. Catalog rows still come from published plants. Missing nameplate fields stay confirm-on-RFQ.

We do not help you browse another China compressor list. Each row is a duty you can put on a PO. Open it, check the RFQ points, send the same English sheet to matching plants.

Parameter duties

Duty What to write
75 kW 8 bar rotary screw compressor 75 kW at 8 bar(g) is a common plant-air point. FAD is not a brochure range — it is the flow at that pressure, after the cooler, for the voltage you actually run. Open
110 kW 10 bar rotary screw compressor 10 bar(g) is not 8 bar with a different sticker. FAD falls as pressure rises. Write 110 kW and 10 bar together, then the flow you need at that point. Open
22 kW VSD screw compressor 22 kW VSD is a flow band, not a single nameplate FAD. The plant needs min/max flow at the working pressure, or it will quote a fixed-speed machine with an inverter sticker. Open
13 bar rotary screw compressor 13 bar(g) is a laser and textile pressure, not a general 8 bar plant. Write FAD at 13 bar and the kW the site can feed. Open
30 bar oil-free compressor 30 bar oil-free is usually a booster after a 7–10 bar oil-free screw, or a dedicated high-pressure skid. Write the staging. Do not ask for a 8 bar plant to “turn it up”. Open
40 bar PET compressor PET blowing at 40 bar(g) is a high-pressure oil-free duty. Cavities, bottle volume and recovery pressure size the skid — not the word “PET compressor”. Open
Class 0 oil-free compressor Class 0 means a stated test method at a stated point in the air system. An oil-free airend without a paper is not Class 0 on this desk. Open
50 Hz 380 V screw compressor Chinese plants build 50 Hz 380 V packages every day. They cannot retag a 60 Hz 460 V nameplate in the quotation without a motor change. Write the supply first. Open

Technology

Duty What to write
Rotary screw compressor manufacturers in China China already has more screw-compressor storefronts than a buyer can audit. This desk lists manufacturing plants against a duty sheet — kW, bar(g), FAD — and routes one English RFQ. Open
Oil-free screw compressor manufacturers in China Oil-free screw is a different factory from oil-injected screw. Dry airends and water-lubricated airends are also different quotes. Name the architecture. Open
Centrifugal compressor manufacturers in China Centrifugal machines are duty-built. A 250 kW “centrifugal compressor China” RFQ without gas, suction and discharge pressure cannot be quoted. Open
Piston compressor manufacturers in China Piston packages in China run from workshop portables to API-style process recips. Those are not one RFQ. Write pressure stages and whether the air must be oil-free. Open
Refrigeration screw compressor manufacturers in China A refrigeration screw is not an air screw with different oil. Write refrigerant, Te, Tc and capacity. kW alone is not a duty. Open
Process gas compressor manufacturers in China Process gas is not plant air. Molecular weight, suction pressure, discharge pressure and flow size the machine. A kW from an air catalogue is unused. Open

Applications

Duty What to write
Compressor for PET bottle blowing Bottle blowing is a high-pressure oil-free process. The blower OEM’s pressure and the cavity count size the compressor, not the word PET. Open
Compressor for laser cutting Laser tables do not run on 8 bar workshop air. Pressure, dryness and oil content sit in the OEM warranty. Copy those numbers onto the RFQ. Open
Compressor for a food factory Food air is a validation file. Class, test point and treatment matter as much as kW. A general 8 bar screw without papers is not a food quote. Open
Compressor for a pharmaceutical plant Pharma procurement is a document pack: IQ/OQ support, material certs, residual oil. The machine is the easy part if the RFQ lists the papers. Open
Compressor for a textile factory Jet looms and spinning do not share a pressure. Write the machine OEM’s bar(g) and the hall FAD, then 50 Hz voltage for most Asian mills. Open
Compressor for mining Site air at altitude is not a 7 bar catalogue FAD. Diesel vs electric, hose length and ambient change the machine. Open
Compressor for CNC machines Machine tools need dry, stable 7–8 bar air. Size from the cell, not from a round kW number a vendor likes to sell. Open
Compressor for wastewater treatment Most aeration trains want low-pressure blowers. If this RFQ is actually 7–8 bar plant air for valves and instruments, say so — it is a different machine from a maglev blower. Open

Procurement

Duty What to write
How to specify an air compressor If the RFQ only says “compressor, China”, a plant cannot price it. Start with architecture, then the duty point, then the papers. Open
Compressor RFQ — one English duty sheet The product is not a directory row. The product is a duty sheet a plant can quote against — and the same sheet sent to more than one works. Open
Compressor procurement checklist A $1,500 workshop piston and a $100,000 oil-free skid do not share a checklist. This page is for industrial packages bought from Chinese plants on an English duty sheet. Open
FOB compressor from China FOB is the default industrial quote: the plant packs and clears export, you nominate the forwarder. CIF is a landed-cost option with freight as a separate line. Open

Not on a spec page: If the duty is not listed, write it. Voltage and frequency matter as much as bar.
