Pilot Air silent compressor series outperforms the competition

Pilot Air’s silent compressor series outperforms the competition with a range of reciprocating air compressors that have been purposely designed and manufactured for quiet operation.

The silent compressor series features five outstanding models, starting from a 1.65Kw motor right up to a massive 7.5Kw motor that are super quiet with an exceptional reputation for longevity and reliability.

“Built for Australian conditions, our Silent Series delivers powerful compressed air with whisper-quiet operation.”

What makes the silent compressor series so good?

Reciprocating air compressors are popular due to their lower upfront cost compared to rotary screw compressors. They are also easy to maintain, energy-efficient, take up little space and suit a range of air compressor needs. Reciprocating air compressors are ideal for the home, the handyman and for smaller commercial factories. These factors make them the textbook choice for customers looking for a cost-effective, low maintenance air compressor system. The one issue with traditional reciprocating air compressors is they do generate noise.

This becomes problematic in noise-sensitive environments, especially in smaller factories and workshops where the business administration is situated close to the workshop. To solve this problem, Pilot Air designs and manufactures a series of silent air compressors.

Pilot Air silent compressor series is the ideal solution for single and multi-use purposes

The silent compressor series from Pilot Air is manufactured with acoustic foam-lined cabinets and thermostatically controlled cooling. These design inclusions have proven to be a game-changer in factories and workshops with noise-sensitive working environments. The foam-lined cabinets suppress the operating noise, whilst the thermostatically controlled cooling systems greatly reduce the noise generated from the motor during a normal cooling cycle.

Compressors in the silent series are quality made with a twin cast iron cylinder, Italian made pump, heavy-duty componentry and energy-efficient MEPS-approved electric motors. They have outstanding reliability and longevity and all our silent series air compressor models come with a 12-month warranty on all components.

“Trusted by Sydney workshops and industries, Pilot Air’s Silent Compressors combine performance, durability, and low noise.”

Frequently Asked Questions
