    About the NGS 45 VS

    About the NGS 45 VS

    The NGS 45 VS offers 45 kW (60 HP) of power, serving as a heavy-duty compressor for large-scale industrial needs. This model is designed to operate continuously, 24/7. The 45 VS carries forward all of the Next Generation Series’ cutting-edge features, including variable speed drive for efficiency, direct-drive transmission, advanced electronic controls, and comprehensive protections, all in a larger package optimised for even greater output. Despite its size and output, the design emphasises efficiency and sustainability: users can expect significant energy savings with quieter operation and smarter control.

    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.

    Superior airflow for large-scale operations

    Producing approximately 117 L/s at 8 bar, the NGS 45 VS delivers the high-volume compressed air required to support multiple production lines or large pneumatic systems simultaneously. This level of output makes it well-suited as a primary compressor in demanding industrial environments.

    Variable-speed drive for maximum energy efficiency

    The advanced variable-speed inverter adjusts motor speed to match real-time air demand, significantly reducing power consumption during partial-load operation. Compared to fixed-speed compressors of similar capacity, this can translate into substantial long-term electricity cost savings.

    Industrial-grade design

    Engineered for 24/7 operation, the NGS 45 VS features a reinforced frame, heavy-gauge steel enclosure, and oversized internal components. This elevated construction ensures reliable performance under constant heavy loads and harsh industrial conditions.

    Direct-drive rotary screw air-end

    The direct-drive coupling eliminates transmission losses and ensures alignment between the motor and air-end. This design improves efficiency, reduces mechanical wear, and contributes to longer service intervals.

    High-efficiency motor and optimised cooling system

    Equipped with a premium IE3/IE4 efficiency motor and optimised internal airflow, the 45 VS delivers high output with reduced energy waste. Improved cooling and ventilation keep operating temperatures low while minimising fan power consumption.

    Backed by Pilot Air warranty & nationwide service

    The NGS 45 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.

    Advanced monitoring, control & system integration

    The intelligent controller provides detailed operational data, alarm history, and configurable pressure settings for accurate system management. Optional communication modules allow integration with plant automation, energy management, and multi-compressor sequencing systems.
