JBS ODR Series refrigerated air dryers deliver 30 m³/min capacity, 7–16 bar working pressure, +3°C pressure dew point, 5.80 kW power consumption and R-410A refrigerant for industrial compressed-air systems. Built for compressor rooms, CNC machinery, automation and production lines, they reduce moisture and support cleaner, more stable, reliable compressed air during demanding commercial operation.
Air Compressors
Model: OSC-V
JBS OSC-V variable-speed screw air compressors combine a 55 kW motor, 9.5 m³/min airflow and 7–13 bar working pressure for industrial sites with fluctuating demand. Variable-speed control matches motor output to air consumption, while the Poly-V belt drive and Maestro controller support stable, reliable compressed-air supply for manufacturing, automotive, metalworking and pneumatic production applications.
Air Compressors
Model: 18-D
JBS OBS 18 D is a screw booster compressor for plants that need higher pressure only at selected points of use. Its 18.5 kW / 25 HP drive works with pre-compressed inlet air and 30–40 bar configurations, targeting PET blow moulding, pressure testing and industrial processes where stable airflow, duty continuity and controlled pressure matter.
Air Compressors
Model: OPC
JBS OPC portable compressors target contractors needing compressed air away from mains power. With 1.2–5 m³/min output across 7–15 bar configurations, the range supports breakers, drilling, abrasive blasting, roadwork and cable blowing. Selected models use Kubota Stage V engines, with skid or towable configurations helping plant operators move site air between demanding jobs efficiently.
Air Compressors
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.
Category Guide
JBS industrial air compressors cover a wide range of compressed-air requirements, from automotive workshops and tyre centres to manufacturing plants, CNC operations and pneumatic production systems. Professional compressor selection should be based on required airflow, working pressure, operating profile and air quality rather than motor horsepower or receiver size alone.
For garages, maintenance departments and businesses where compressed air is used intermittently, reciprocating air compressors can provide a practical balance between investment cost, storage capacity and workshop performance. Pneumatic impact tools, tyre equipment, blow guns and suitable spray applications all have different airflow requirements, so the combined demand of equipment that may operate simultaneously should be considered.
Rotary Screw Compressors for Continuous Demand
Where compressed air is required for extended periods, rotary screw compressors are generally better suited to industrial duty. Production lines, CNC equipment, pneumatic automation, packaging and manufacturing systems often require stable airflow throughout the working shift.
The JBS OSC-V Series Variable-Speed Screw Air Compressors adjust motor speed according to actual compressed-air demand. Variable-speed operation is particularly relevant where consumption rises and falls during the day, while correctly sized fixed-output systems may remain appropriate for stable base-load applications.
Professional buyers should compare Free Air Delivery, working pressure and load profile together. Intake figures, motor kW and receiver volume do not independently define the usable output available at the point of use.
Compressed-Air Quality and Treatment
A complete compressed-air system may also require receivers, filtration, condensate management and drying. Moisture can contribute to corrosion, pneumatic component failure and quality problems in painting or process-sensitive production.
For applications requiring moisture control, JBS offers ODR Series Refrigerated Air Dryers. The dryer should be sized according to compressor flow, pressure, inlet temperature and operating conditions.

A professional air compressor should not be selected by horsepower, receiver size or maximum pressure alone. Commercial buyers should first calculate the airflow required by all pneumatic equipment that may operate simultaneously and then define the working pressure, operating hours and required compressed-air quality.
For automotive workshops, tyre shops, maintenance facilities and businesses with intermittent air demand, a reciprocating air compressor can offer a practical and cost-effective solution. The JBS D-5.5-500 provides 7 bar working pressure, 649 L/min intake capacity, a 4 kW / 5.5 HP motor and a 500-litre receiver.
JBS D-5.5-500 Piston Air Compressor
Where compressed air is required for longer periods or several tools and machines operate simultaneously, buyers should compare rotary screw compressors. Variable-speed systems can be particularly useful where demand changes throughout the working day.
Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Airflow is one of the most important purchasing specifications. Do not confuse compressor intake capacity with the actual usable air delivered to the system. Where available, compare Free Air Delivery (FAD) at the required operating pressure.
Receiver capacity provides stored compressed air and can help manage short demand peaks, but a larger receiver does not increase the compressor’s actual air-production capacity.
Air quality should also be specified. Moisture can cause corrosion, damage pneumatic components and create defects in painting or sensitive production processes. For these applications, integrate suitable filtration and a compressed-air dryer.

JBS Industrial Air Compressors
Send JBS your required pressure, simultaneous airflow demand and daily operating hours to receive a compressor configuration and commercial quotation matched to the application.
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.
An oil-lubricated air compressor uses oil to lubricate internal components, which can provide smoother operation, better cooling, and longer service life in demanding applications. An oil-free compressor operates without oil in the compression chamber, requiring less maintenance and delivering cleaner air. Oil-free models are often preferred where air purity is important, while oil-lubricated compressors are commonly chosen for intensive workshop and industrial use.
An air compressor is a machine that draws in ambient air and compresses it to produce compressed air. The generated air is used for pneumatic equipment, cleaning, painting, tire inflation, and various industrial processes.
When selecting a compressor, working pressure, air flow rate, tank capacity, motor power, voltage, and daily operating time should be evaluated. The total air demand of the equipment to be connected should also be calculated.
The required pressure depends on the application. For many workshop and car wash applications, 8–10 bar may be sufficient. Equipment requiring higher pressure should be matched with a compressor of suitable capacity.
Share your country, pneumatic equipment, required working pressure, total airflow demand and daily operating hours. JBS Makina will recommend a suitable piston, rotary screw, booster or portable air compressor system and prepare a project-specific quotation.
