Direct Drive Rotary Screw Compressor 10HP – 8 Bar
Starting From: $7618
Compact 7.5 kW/10 HP direct-drive rotary screw delivering 1.0 m³/min (35 CFM) at 8 Bar with a low 66±3 dBA enclosure. A true 1:1 coupling removes belt losses for quieter operation, lower maintenance and dependable everyday air.
Description
Direct Drive Ratio 1:1 (7.5 kW)
RELIABLE / ROBUST / PROVEN
10 years of performance in Australia’s toughest conditions
Built for Australian conditions, this 10 HP direct-drive package pairs a low-speed airend with a maintenance-free 1:1 coupling to turn more motor power into usable air. The rigid enclosure, smart airflow and tidy internal routing help control vibration and temperature, while service access is kept simple with large lockable panels. The result is a compact, efficient machine that delivers stable output and lower lifetime operating cost in workshops and light industrial environments.
FEATURES:

- 8 Bar working pressure
- 1.0 m³/min (35 CFM) nominal capacity
- 66±3 dBA low-noise enclosure for shop-floor placement
- Intelligent Micro Controller with alarms, service tracking and event history
- European-sourced major components and service-friendly cabinet design
- Air Outlet: 1/2″
- Dimensions (L×W×H): 1053×690×928 mm
- Weight: 250 kg
WHY DIRECT DRIVE?
- 1:1 coupling between motor and airend eliminates belt slip and transmission losses
- Higher energy efficiency with reduced kW/CFM in real-world operation
- Fewer moving parts = lower maintenance and fewer consumables
- Quieter running thanks to reduced vibration and smooth torque transfer
- Stable pressure delivery across varying loads
- Lower total cost of ownership over the machine’s life
MINING FEATURES AVAILABLE
- Weather-proofing packages for harsh outdoor environments
- Stainless steel door/frame/base options for corrosive sites
- Heavy-duty intake filtration and industrial external filter mats
- Enhanced cabinet sealing against dust and moisture ingress
- Site-spec electrical upgrades and 24 V controls

HIGH QUALITY EUROPEAN MOTOR COMPONENTS
MEPS-compliant industrial motor with SKF front and rear bearings fitted with greasing nipples for extended service life.
AIREND
A precision rotor set with SKF bearings and European Teflon oil seals provides efficient compression and low sound levels. Geometry and clearances are selected to preserve volumetric efficiency as hours accumulate.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Siemens-centred starter electrics provide consistent switching and protection, backed by excellent parts availability and service support nationally.
TRANSMISSION
A German-made KTR elastomer coupling gives a true 1:1 drive from motor to airend. WVIF high-efficiency shock pads under the motor and airend absorb torsional peaks, reducing transmitted vibration.
OIL SEPARATOR
Oversized separator vessel and elements achieve <3 ppm oil carryover with a very low differential pressure of <0.02 MPa—helping downstream equipment and trimming energy use.
SUCTION VALVE
A critical component for load/unload transitions, the SCR suction valve is rated for over 2 million cycles. Its design does not rely on fully sealed gaps, helping avoid failures typical of cup seals and diaphragms
THERMAL VALVE
Renowned Hoerbiger thermal valve opens and shuts repeatedly during operation to hold oil at the optimum temperature for lubrication, sealing and cooling.
COOLER
High-surface-area cooler assembly keeps oil and discharge temperatures stable in warm ambient conditions and during extended load periods, preserving efficiency and component life.
SOLENOID AND PRESSURE CONTROL
European solenoid valves and pressure instrumentation coordinate safe start-up, unloading and protection logic for predictable operation and straightforward diagnostics.
SEAMLESS STEEL PIPES
Seamless steel oil/air lines with quality compression fittings create a rigid, low-loss pipe system that resists ageing and vibration fatigue while minimising potential leak paths.
AIR INTAKE FILTRATION
High-efficiency, low-restriction intake filters—including Donaldson—let the compressor “breathe” clean air. Better intake quality boosts reliability, lowers energy consumption and lengthens service intervals.
Warranty
Standard 2-year warranty – covers the complete compressor (terms and conditions apply)
