Model: D-5,5-300
JBS D 5.5-300 is a workshop piston air compressor with a 4 kW / 5.5 HP motor, 7 bar working pressure, 649 L/min intake and 250 L receiver. Built for garages and service bays with intermittent demand, it provides stored air for tyre inflation, blow guns and compatible pneumatic tools without continuous-duty screw-compressor investment.
UK workshop buyers regularly compare piston compressors by HP, receiver capacity, CFM and available air delivery.
That makes one distinction particularly important with the JBS D 5.5-300: its published 649 L/min figure is intake capacity, not a published Free Air Delivery figure.
It should therefore not be presented as FAD in UK marketing material.
The D 5.5-300 combines a 4 kW / 5.5 HP motor with 7 bar working pressure and a 250 L receiver.
That configuration targets workshops where compressed-air demand rises and falls rather than remaining continuously at full load.
Typical jobs include tyre inflation, blow guns and suitable pneumatic tools used periodically throughout the working day.
A larger receiver stores more compressed air and can absorb short demand peaks.
It does not increase the compressor pump's air production.
For a garage air compressor, buyers should establish:
Required tool pressure
Tool air consumption
Number of tools operating together
Daily duty pattern
Receiver capacity
Available air delivery
This is especially important with impact tools or other equipment that can consume substantial airflow during operation.
UK competitors commonly publish Free Air Delivery or distinguish displacement from delivered airflow.
The JBS specification currently provides 649 L/min intake capacity.
Until a verified FAD figure is available, the product should be marketed using the precise term “air intake capacity” rather than converting that value into a claim about usable delivered airflow.
That small terminology change significantly improves technical credibility in the UK market.
A reciprocating air compressor makes sense where demand is intermittent.
If several pneumatic consumers operate for long periods throughout the shift, the business should compare a rotary-screw solution such as the JBS OSC-V Series.
If moisture can affect paint or pneumatic equipment, the ODR Refrigerated Air Dryer can also be considered as part of the air-treatment system.

Product FAQ
It should be determined according to air consumption, simultaneous equipment use, and how frequently the compressor starts.
A screw compressor may be more suitable for continuous operation or applications requiring a high air flow rate.
A screw compressor produces compressed air by reducing the volume of air trapped between two intermeshing helical rotors. It is widely used in businesses that require a continuous and stable compressed-air supply.
Piston compressors are generally suitable for intermittent and lower air demand, while screw compressors are better suited to intensive, long-duration, and consistent air demand. Screw models provide a more continuous airflow and generally lower vibration.
In oil-injected models, oil is used in the compression section for cooling, sealing, and lubrication. In oil-free models, no oil is introduced into the compression section. Oil-free models may be preferred in applications requiring high air purity, such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, and laboratories.
