FIAC New Silver 15/500 Industrial screw compressor

The New Silver 15/500 screw compressor from leading Italian manufacturer FIAC is a fully operational, automated compressor station mounted on a large-capacity horizontal receiver. Unlike its piston-type counterparts, this screw compressor is designed for continuous (24/7) operation, while offering low noise levels, minimal oil carryover, and high energy efficiency.

The 11 kW (15 l.s.) model is designed specifically for businesses with high compressed air demands. It is ideal for simultaneously powering multiple pneumatic tool stations, tire-changing equipment, and high-throughput paint and drying booths in a body shop.

Key advantages of the model:

• High reliability and service life: The screw compressor has an efficiency close to 92% and boasts an exceptionally long service life (up to 40,000 hours before bearing replacement) compared to reciprocating compressors.
• Premium Italian manufacturing: The compressor is entirely designed and manufactured in Italy at the FIAC plant, with strict quality control of all assemblies and components.
• Extended warranty (5 years): The manufacturer provides an official 5-year warranty, confirming the equipment’s uncompromising reliability when maintained regularly.
• 500-liter high-capacity receiver: Provides a substantial supply of compressed air, smooths out peak loads when multiple consumers are activated simultaneously, and reduces the frequency of motor start/stop cycles, thereby extending its service life.
• Low noise and vibration levels: Thanks to a closed, sound-absorbing enclosure and the absence of reciprocating parts, the compressor operates very quietly. It can be installed directly in the workspace near personnel.
• Smart microprocessor control: A state-of-the-art control unit monitors all operating parameters (temperature, pressure, operating hours) and automatically switches the compressor to standby (unloaded) mode, significantly saving energy.
