The NGS 55 VS is a 55 kW (75 HP) rotary screw compressor, representing one of the high-capacity models in the NGS range. This compressor delivers a substantial volume of compressed air, over 151.67 L/s at 8 bar, powering large industrial systems. Despite its high output, the 55 VS leverages the same variable-speed drive technology to ensure that power is used efficiently. You get the air volume you need when you need it, and energy savings when full capacity isn’t required. The NGS 55 VS also continues the series’ tradition of quiet operation and smart controls, meaning that even as one of the larger compressors, it can integrate into your facility with minimal disruption.

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.
Delivering approximately 152 L/s at 8 bar, the NGS 55 VS provides the volume of compressed air required to support multiple large-scale operations simultaneously. This makes it an ideal backbone compressor for factories, heavy industry, and plant-wide air systems.
The integrated variable frequency drive continuously adjusts motor speed to match real-time air demand, eliminating inefficient operation during periods of no-load running. This ensures the compressor delivers full power only when required, significantly reducing energy consumption during partial-load operation.
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the NGS 55 VS is designed to operate reliably under sustained high loads. Reinforced internal components and industrial-grade construction allow it to perform consistently in 24/7 production settings.
The modern rotary screw air-end and high-efficiency motor deliver competitive specific power for a compressor of this size. This combination maximises air output per kilowatt, helping reduce operating costs without sacrificing performance.
Upgraded oil and air coolers, combined with high-capacity or dual cooling fans, maintain optimal operating temperatures even at full load. Effective thermal management protects internal components and extends the compressor's service life.
The NGS 55 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.
The advanced controller maintains stable line pressure, provides detailed alarms and event logging, and supports Intelligent Sequence Control (ISC) for multi-compressor installations. Remote monitoring and automation compatibility allow the 55 VS to integrate into critical plant operations.
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.

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…
