Three-phase belt-driven compressor 270 L - 5.5 HP, 11 bar and double stage
Two-stage compression is what separates an industrial compressor from a workshop one. Instead of compressing the air in one go up to the final pressure, it does so in two steps: a large cylinder raises the air to an intermediate pressure, it cools along the way and a second, smaller cylinder finishes it off up to 11 bar.
The result is that the air comes out much cooler, the pump suffers less and performance per kilowatt consumed is considerably better. That is why all compressors designed to run daily for years are two-stage. This one has 5.5 HP three-phase, delivers 550 L/min and sits on a 270-litre tank.
✅ Key benefits
Two-stage compression: lower temperature, better performance, longer life.
11 bar pressure for demanding installations.
550 L/min of sustained air flow.
270-litre tank: an industrial-level reserve.
5.5 HP three-phase motor: soft starting and efficient consumption.
🏗️ What it is for
Compressed air installations in industrial units.
Bodywork and paint workshops with several workstations.
Continuous-consumption air tools.
Production lines and pneumatic tooling.

💡 Pro tip: on a two-stage compressor, keep an eye on the intercooler tube, the finned tube that connects the two cylinders. It fills up with dust and dirt, stops dissipating heat and then the second cylinder receives hot air: consumption rises, the oil carbonises and the valves start to fail. A thorough blow-out every three months solves it.
Frequently asked questions
What does two-stage mean and what is the advantage?
The air is compressed in two steps with intercooling up to 11 bar. It comes out cooler, the pump suffers less and performance per kilowatt consumed improves.
What electrical installation does it need?
It is three-phase 400 V with a 5.5 HP motor, so it needs a three-phase socket with suitable protection. It does not work on a single-phase installation.
What air flow does it deliver and what is it for?
550 L/min at 11 bar with a 270-litre tank. It is suitable for industrial units with several workstations, bodywork and painting or continuous-consumption air tools.
What specific maintenance does it need?
Keep an eye on the intercooler tube that connects the two cylinders: if it collects dust, it stops dissipating heat. The specifications recommend a thorough blow-out every three months. Oil changes as per the manufacturer's manual.
Where should I place it?
It has fixed feet, so choose a ventilated, level spot. Drain the condensate from the tank regularly.
