Frequently Asked Questions

Is the K50 built to handle tough Australian industrial environments (heat, long hours, heavy loads)?

Yes. The K50 Classic Industrial 3-Phase Reciprocating unit is Australian-built, featuring twin cast-iron cylinders and an Italian-made pump designed for reliability and longevity under harsh conditions such as those in Sydney workshops, remote job sites, or heavy manufacturing

What are the key performance specifications (air delivery, motor, receiver) so I can decide if it's right for my business?

According to the K50 product details, it delivers 888 L/min free air delivery, has a 7.5 kW motor, includes a 268 L receiver, and operates up to 1100 kPa (≈ 160 psi), making it well-suited for demanding industrial tasks.

What warranty and build guarantees does Pilot Air offer, especially for customers in Sydney and NSW?

Pilot Air backs the K50 with a 5-year warranty on the compressor pump, 5 years on the overall build, and 1 year on all other components, and has strong local support in Sydney via its Silverwater and Auburn facilities. These details are outlined on the product specification page.

How efficient is the K50 in terms of energy use and stationary operation?

The K50 uses a MEPS-approved electric motor (as listed in the K50 product listing), which helps minimise energy consumption. Its lower vibration and lower speed design also contribute to reduced wear and lower operating costs over time in continuous operation environments like Sydney factories.

What safety, compliance, and feature standards are included to ensure workplace reliability?

With an air receiver built to AS1210 standards, the K50 meets local safety and engineering standards. The design includes low vibration, twin cylinders, and durable materials to maintain performance over time. All this is confirmed on the K50 Classic Industrial page

Pilot Air Reviews

We have a growing manufacturing business and our air supply needed to be upgraded to deliver to a clean volume of air to specific machines and mainly our spray booth. 3 Months ago the team at Pilot Air evaluated our requirement and delivered an excellent solution, we have had time to run the system for a considerable time and found it to be excellent. Also Australian Manufactured to boot. Very Happy.

My husband recently bought a second hand Trademaster 12 air compressor in need of some maintenance. He took it to the Silverwater servicing centre with no prior arrangement. The staff were polite, obliging, and eager to help, and he was impressed with the service provided. Well done Pilot Air!
