Large industrial air compressors

Large industrial air compressors are a highly valued piece of infrastructure within many industrial settings. The need for high performance, quality, and reliability is an essential element of any business investment, and the team at Pilot Air has the unique ability to customise industrial air compressor solutions to ensure they are fit for purpose and exceed our customers’ expectations.

The Pilot ALTA-TEC Industrial 110-315 variable speed rotary screw air compressor is a standout engineered to redefine efficiency, reliability, and energy savings in industrial settings.

At Pilot Air, innovation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. With the latest additions to the ALTA-TEC series, we’re setting new benchmarks in compressor technology, empowering businesses to elevate their performance while minimising costs and environmental impact.

“Built for Australian conditions, our large industrial compressors deliver maximum efficiency and reliability under the toughest demands.”

Technically advanced for performance and cost saving

The ALTA-TEC system isn’t just another compressor; it’s a powerhouse equipped with cutting-edge features. The Two Stage Ultimate Efficiency design ensures optimal performance across varying load demands, thanks to the dynamic regulation of speed by the inverter, eliminating energy wastage and reducing operational costs significantly.

Remote monitoring capabilities, accessible via GSM, GPRS, Ethernet, or WiFi modules, provide real-time compressor status updates and facilitate remote assistance and maintenance checks. The advanced Login electronic controller offers granular control over critical parameters such as working pressure, oil temperature, and compressor status, ensuring seamless operation and timely interventions if required.

As an Australian-owned family business we are acutely aware of infrastructure investment. The ALTA-TEC system is a smart business decision. Compared to single-stage compressors, our two-stage design boasts up to 20% energy savings, translating into substantial cost reductions over time. With a duty cycle of 70% and 6,000 working hours per year, the return on investment is realised in less than 24 months, making it a financially prudent choice for businesses of all sizes.

The integrated Permanent Magnet Motors with IE4 Efficiency class and direct transmission system ensure maximum efficiency, quieter operation, and minimal maintenance requirements, further driving down operational costs and enhancing reliability.
