Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the K17SI “Built for Australian conditions”?

The Pilot K17SI Silent Reciprocating Compressor is engineered for harsh workshop environments, with a silenced cabinet (63 dB(A)), acoustic foam lining, and thermostatically controlled cooling — ensuring reliable performance in Sydney’s heat, dust, and noise-sensitive areas.

What are its performance specifications (air delivery, pressure, power)?

The K17SI/1.65 model delivers approximately 205 L/min free air delivery (≈ 7.2 CFM), operates on a 1.65 kW / 240 V motor, and produces up to 1000 kPa (≈ 145 PSI) with twin cast-iron cylinders for long service life.

How quiet is the K17SI, and why is that important?

The Pilot K17SI runs at around 63 dB(A), making it significantly quieter than many standard compressors — ideal for Sydney workshops and indoor facilities where reducing noise improves comfort and safety.

Is this compressor suitable for heavy or continuous operation?

Yes — the K17SI model is fitted with an Italian-made pump and twin cast-iron cylinders, providing durability and a higher duty cycle. This makes it suitable for continuous or demanding use in Sydney’s industrial settings.

What size and weight is the K17SI, and what should I consider for installation?

The Pilot K17SI/1.65 measures approximately 730 mm × 640 mm × 1100 mm, weighs about 147 kg, and is supplied without an air receiver. Installation should allow for stable mounting, adequate ventilation, and vibration isolation in busy Sydney workshops.

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!
