The specific value depends on the structural design: the complete set of system with integrated dryer, gas tank and sound enclosure, the weight may be close to 6 tons; And the bare metal configuration containing only the base of the host motor, it can be as low as about 4.2 tons.<\/p>\n<h2>II. Key factors affecting the weight of air compressor<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>cooling mode<\/strong>: Water-cooled models need to be equipped with pipelines and heat exchangers, which are usually 3-3 heavier than air-cooled models- 8%<\/li>\n<li><strong>pressure Level<\/strong>: 0.8 MPa conventional models are about 5-less than 1.0 MPa and above high-pressure models- 10%<\/li>\n<li><strong>integration<\/strong>: whether the built-in refrigerated air dryer, filter, PLC control system, etc. significantly increase the quality by auxiliary attachment<\/li>\n<li><strong>material and manufacturing process<\/strong>: cast iron head, thickened steel sound enclosure, heavy shock absorber base all increase the weight of the whole machine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Why should we pay attention to the weight of air compressor when selecting?<\/h2>\n<p>Air compressor weight direct correlation<strong>foundation load-bearing design<\/strong>,<strong>plant floor load check<\/strong>and<strong>hoisting and transportation scheme<\/strong>. Especially in renovation projects or high-rise industrial plants, overweight equipment may lead to structural safety risks.
