This 22 VS rotary screw air compressor delivers industrial-strength air output while embodying the NGS series’ core values of efficiency and intelligent operation. The NGS 22 VS is a powerhouse designed for serious industrial applications, yet it remains energy-conscious thanks to its variable-speed drive and advanced control. It can produce over 60 L/s of compressed air at 8 bar pressure, making it suitable for driving multiple heavy-duty tools or an entire small factory’s air network. Despite this capability, the 22 VS is engineered to minimise noise and vibration; its design improvements include a larger, slower-speed air-end that yields high flow with less strain, resulting in a remarkably quiet noise level around 68 dB(A).

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.
The NGS 22VS compressor utilises an intelligent inverter to adjust its motor speed in real-time according to your air demand. This matches output to need, significantly reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs when full power isn’t required.
A thermostatically controlled cooling fan and oversized aftercooler maintain low operating temperatures. This efficient heat removal protects components from overheating, ensures consistent performance, and delivers drier compressed air.
A premium 22 kW (30 HP) electric motor that meets stringent MEPS energy efficiency standards. The motor delivers reliable power while drawing less electricity, providing strong performance with lower energy costs.
An integrated smart controller automatically restarts the compressor after a power outage and continuously monitors its operation. This feature ensures an uninterrupted air supply when power is restored and optimises performance and safety.
The NGS 22 VS is designed for hassle-free upkeep, featuring an easy-to-read oil level gauge, a two-piece drive coupling, and convenient access panels for quick reach to internal components. Technicians work faster and minimise downtime.
The NGS 22 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.
A standout feature of the 22 VS is its remarkably low noise output. The enclosure is lined with advanced sound-damping material, and the intake is equipped with a large silencing air filter.
Pilot Air’s reputation for performance, reliability and service is unmatched in the Australian industrial market. The next generation (NGS) range is no exception. Engineered for users who need enhanced performance from a variable speed compressor but don’t require the advanced features of our premium models. It’s the sweet spot between affordability and performance.
Pilot Air’s next-generation rotary screw air compressors deliver on performance, reliability, and price. Constructed using premium components, the NGS variable speed compressors bridge the gap between our PAC fixed speed options and the premium ALTA TEC offering. The perfect balance of capability and value for money. Explore NGS Range.

The NGS 22 VS is designed for demanding industrial applications that require high volumes of compressed air. It is well-suited for manufacturing facilities, production lines, and workshops that run multiple heavy-duty tools or an entire site air network simultaneously.
Despite delivering up to 60 L/s at 8 bar, the NGS 22 VS remains energy-conscious thanks to its intelligent variable-speed drive. The inverter adjusts motor speed in real-time to match air demand, reducing unnecessary power consumption and lowering operating costs when full capacity isn’t required.
The compressor features a larger, slower-speed air end that produces high airflow with less mechanical strain. Combined with advanced sound-damping materials and a silenced intake system, this design keeps noise levels to around 68 dB(A), which is remarkably quiet for a 22 kW industrial compressor.
An oversized aftercooler and thermostatically controlled cooling fan maintain stable operating temperatures, even under continuous use. This efficient heat management protects internal components and helps deliver cooler, drier compressed air to downstream equipment.
The integrated intelligent controller continuously monitors operating conditions and can automatically restart the compressor in the event of a power outage. Easy-access service panels, a clear oil level gauge and a two-piece drive coupling make routine maintenance faster and help minimise downtime.
As an Australian company, Pilot Air backs the NGS 22 VS with a three-year warranty and a nationwide service network. Our technical team works closely with customers to assess air demand, customise compressor solutions and help future-proof businesses as their operations and air requirements grow.
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!
I would just like to thank Debbie and the team at Pilot Air Compressors Service Department for a great job done this morning.
Excellent job done, Great Staff & Great Service
Thank you Debbie & the team at Pilot Air Compressors…
