Workshop screw compressor from China DECHUAN delivers factory-floor quiet operation at ≤62 dB, all-in-one tank+dryer integration, and sub-1m² footprint. Plug-and-play installation. IE3/PM motor options cut idle energy waste. Ideal for small fabrication shops, custom furniture makers, auto refinishing bays.
In a typical 200m² job shop, every square meter counts. DECHUAN occupies less than 1 m² of floor space – roughly the area of one standard pallet. The vertical or horizontal configuration allows you to push the unit against a wall, into a corner, or even under a workbench (for sub-7.5 kW models). While competitors' "skid-mounted" units sprawl across 2–3 m² and block forklift aisles, our compact design keeps your layout efficient.
| Model (kW) | Width (mm) | Depth (mm) | Height (mm) | Floor Area (m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5–7.5 kW | 650 | 800 | 900 | 0.52 |
| 11–15 kW | 750 | 900 | 1,050 | 0.68 |
| 18.5–22 kW | 850 | 1,000 | 1,200 | 0.85 |
| 30–37 kW | 950 | 1,100 | 1,350 | 1.05 |
OSHA and EU occupational standards set an 8-hour exposure limit at 85 dB. But in a typical 30m×15m workshop where eight machinists work within 10 meters of the air compressor, every 3 dB reduction cuts noise energy in half. DECHUAN Workshop screw compressor operates at ≤62 dB at 1 meter distance – quieter than a conversational voice (65 dB) and far below the 75–85 dB of conventional piston compressors or open-frame screw units.
| Equipment Type | Typical dB(A) @ 1m | Can Workers Talk Normally Nearby? |
|---|---|---|
| Reciprocating piston compressor | 78–85 | No – shouting required |
| Budget screw compressor (no canopy) | 72–78 | Difficult – raised voice needed |
| DECHUAN Workshop screw compressor | 58–62 | Yes – normal conversation possible |
| Office copier/printer | 50–55 | Completely comfortable |
The integrated dryer and filters deliver compressed air meeting ISO 8573-1 Class 2.4.2:
Solid particles: Class 2 (≤1 μm, ≤1 mg/m³)This quality level supports paint spraying, CNC tool changers, pneumatic measuring instruments, and food-contact packaging.
A large factory runs air tools continuously for 16 hours/day. A small workshop, by contrast, sees:
High demand for 10 minutes (blowing chips off CNC machines, running a sander)Conventional fixed-speed compressors respond by: load → unload → load → unload. Each unload period still consumes 25–40% of full-load power while producing no useful air. Over an 8-hour shift, this wastes 35–50 kWh – money that buys nothing.
Our basic control panel includes a pressure switch with configurable start and stop bands. When no air is demanded for a set delay (adjustable 1–30 minutes), the Workshop screw compressor shuts down completely – zero power draw. When pressure drops to the restart threshold, it restarts automatically. This suits workshops with predictable idle gaps longer than 5 minutes.
For highly variable demand (e.g., a custom furniture shop where sanders, nail guns, and spray guns start and stop constantly), PM VFD technology matches motor speed precisely to air demand – from 20% to 100% of rated flow. Savings over fixed-speed: typically 25–40% on electricity bills.
We understand a small furniture maker in Vietnam or an auto refinishing shop in Peru does not have an in-house maintenance engineer. Therefore:
