About the NGS 15 VS

About the NGS 15 VS

The NGS 15 VS rotary screw compressor delivers superior air power for industrial applications. As a member of the Next Generation Series, the 15 VS shares the same hallmark features as the smaller models: inverter-driven variable speed, direct drive transmission, and an advanced control system. This means that even with its increased capacity, the unit remains highly energy-efficient and flexible in operation, scaling its output to match your facility’s air requirements in real-time.

Key Features

Key Features

Built for Australian business and tested in the harshest conditions the NGS rotary screw range is backed by our platinum 3-year warranty and supported by onshore servicing, maintenance and an extensive inventory of spare parts. A workhorse that powers your business without the downtime.

Energy savings

All NGS units use a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) system. By eliminating frequent load/unload cycles and utilising soft-start, a VSD compressor can save approximately 25% in energy compared to a fixed-speed equivalent.

Direct drive transmission

This model features a direct-coupled drive between the motor and the air end. This design ensures maximum mechanical efficiency, quieter operation, and less maintenance.

Low noise levels

Thanks to the precision engineering and the direct-drive design, NGS compressors operate at remarkably low sound levels. The NGS 15VS is 64 dB(A), which is as quiet as an everyday conversation.

Advanced technology

The NGS 15 VS utilises the MAM-6080 controller, a centralised control system that monitors all compressor functions and ensures safe, efficient operation under all conditions.

High-quality electric motors

MEPS-approved, high-efficiency motors, compliant with Minimum Energy Performance Standards (approximately IE3 class efficiency). Built to last, with class F insulation.

Backed by Pilot Air warranty & nationwide service

The NGS 15 VS is backed by Pilot Air’s 3 year warranty, the highest in its class and supported by a nationwide network of qualified technicians and service specialists.

Increased air - intelligent cost control

The NGS 15kW VS can power multiple operations simultaneously, from pneumatic tools and cylinders to spray painting and sandblasting equipment. Importantly, it does so with intelligent cost control.

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!
