Model: D-5,5-500
JBS piston air compressors are designed to provide a reliable supply of compressed air for workshops, automotive services, industrial facilities and maintenance operations. The range offers 100–500-litre tanks, 8 bar working pressure, 200–1,270 L/min air intake and 1.5–10 HP motor options. Available with one, two or three cylinders, these reciprocating air compressors provide an efficient solution for pneumatic tools, spray painting, tyre inflation and cleaning applications.
JBS reciprocating air compressors are designed for the intermittent or variable compressed-air requirements of automotive service centres, tyre shops, maintenance workshops and small production facilities. Their receiver-mounted construction stores compressed air for operating blow guns, tyre-inflation equipment, spray guns and compatible pneumatic tools.
An electric motor drives the compressor pump. Atmospheric air is drawn into a cylinder, compressed by piston movement and transferred to the air receiver. The motor stops when the preset receiver pressure is reached and starts again when pressure falls during use. This operating cycle makes piston air compressors particularly suitable for applications with periodic air demand.
Reciprocating compressors can support tyre inflation, blow-off cleaning, impact tools, surface preparation, spray painting and various pneumatic hand tools. They can also provide auxiliary compressed air for car washes, vehicle-detailing businesses, repair shops, woodworking facilities and small production areas.
Selection should not be based on motor power or receiver volume alone. Required working pressure, actual free air delivery, total consumption of simultaneously operated equipment, daily duty cycle, electrical supply, installation space and receiver capacity should be considered together.
The JBS D-5.5-300 piston air compressor features a 4 kW/5.5 HP motor, 7 bar working pressure and 649 L/min intake capacity. Intake capacity may differ from the usable air delivery available at the required operating pressure.
A reciprocating compressor can be an economical solution for intermittent and moderate compressed-air demand. Businesses requiring continuous operation, higher airflow or several tools running simultaneously should compare rotary screw air compressors.
For spray painting and sensitive pneumatic applications, suitable filters and compressed air dryers may be required to reduce moisture, oil and particles. Regular checks of the oil, intake filter, belts, condensate drain and receiver support safe and efficient operation.

Product FAQ
To choose the right air compressor, total air demand, required pressure level, simultaneously operating equipment, tank capacity and daily working time should be evaluated together. This helps determine the most suitable compressor capacity for the business.
It may be suitable for service centers, workshops, and small businesses with intermittent compressed-air demand.
It should be considered for businesses with regular, long-duration, and high compressed-air demand.
It generally receives air from an existing compressed-air source and increases the inlet pressure.
They differ in operating duration, capacity, operating cycle, and investment structure, so the choice should be based on the business's needs.
Compressed Air Dryers
Model: ODR
JBS ODR Series refrigerated air dryers remove moisture from compressed air through condensation. The ODR-300 offers a 30 m³/min capacity, 7–16 bar working pressure, a +3 °C dew point and R-410A refrigerant. Designed for automotive workshops, paint shops and industrial facilities, it helps protect pneumatic equipment, air receivers and pipelines against moisture, corrosion and breakdowns.
Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Model: OSC-V
JBS OSC V Series rotary screw air compressors produce energy-efficient compressed air with a variable-speed drive that adjusts motor speed according to current demand. The series offers 3–132 kW motor options, while the OSC V-55 delivers 55 kW power, 9.5 m³/min airflow and 7–13 bar working pressure. It is designed for continuous, stable and reliable operation in workshops, automotive businesses and industrial facilities.
Booster Compressors
Model: 18-D
The JBS OBS 18 D screw booster compressor increases existing compressed air from 7–12 bar to 30 bar, providing a stable and continuous air supply for production processes. Its 18.5 kW/25 HP motor, 3.78–5.58 m³/min capacity and 1:1 direct-coupled drive ensure efficient operation. It is designed for PET bottle blowing, laser cutting, metalworking and high-pressure pneumatic applications.
Portable Compressors
Model: OPC
JBS OPC Series portable air compressors provide mobile compressed air at worksites without an electrical supply through their diesel-powered design. The range offers 1.2–5 m³/min airflow and 7–15 bar working pressure, while the OPC 4000 delivers 5 m³/min, 10 bar pressure and an 80-litre fuel tank. It is designed for construction sites, roadworks, drilling, sandblasting and pneumatic tools.
