Air Compressors → Reciprocating Air Compressors
JBS Makina reciprocating air compressors are designed for the intermittent compressed-air requirements of automotive service centers, tire shops, workshops, and small production facilities.
Reciprocating Air Compressors
Model: D-5,5-300
The JBS D 5.5-300 piston air compressor is designed to meet the professional compressed-air needs of automotive services, workshops and maintenance facilities. It delivers a 4 kW/5.5 HP motor, 7 bar working pressure and 649 L/min air intake. Its durable reciprocating design provides reliable performance for tyre inflation, air guns, spray painting and pneumatic tools.
Category Guide
Reciprocating air compressors use piston movement to compress atmospheric air and store it in an air receiver.
They can supply pneumatic tools, tire-inflation equipment, spray guns, and other air-powered machinery. Their economical initial cost and practical maintenance make them particularly suitable for intermittent compressed-air demand.
For continuous operation and applications requiring a high air flow rate, rotary screw air compressors should be considered.
| Model | Pressure | Intake capacity | Motor | Receiver volume | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-5.5-300 Piston Air Compressor | 7 bar | 649 L/min | 4 kW / 5.5 HP | 250 L | Workshops, automotive services, and intermittent use |
| D-5.5-500 Piston Air Compressor | 7 bar | 649 L/min | 4 kW / 5.5 HP | 500 L | Businesses requiring a larger compressed-air reserve |
The receiver volume of the D-5.5-300 is listed as 250 liters in the current technical specifications. Updated technical details should be confirmed before ordering.
An electric motor operates the compressor pump. Air drawn into the cylinder is compressed by the piston and transferred to the air receiver.
The motor stops when the receiver reaches the specified pressure. It starts again when pressure falls during use.
The receiver provides a temporary air reserve during sudden demand. A larger receiver does not increase the compressor’s air output; it only affects storage capacity and operating balance.
Reciprocating air compressors can be used in:
The operating pressure and air consumption of connected equipment must be compatible with the compressor’s capacity.
The D-5.5-300 can be considered by businesses with limited installation space and intermittent compressed-air demand.
The D-5.5-500 offers the same motor and air-output capacity with a larger receiver. It can provide a greater air reserve for frequently repeated periods of short-term consumption.
Both models have the same intake capacity and motor power. Selection should therefore be based mainly on receiver volume, installation space, and operating frequency.
The following features should be checked before purchasing:
The intake capacity shown in product tables may differ from the actual usable air output. Selection should be based on the free air delivery available at the required working pressure.
Suitable filters and an air dryer may be required to remove moisture, oil, and particles from compressed air used for painting and sensitive pneumatic applications.
Reciprocating air compressor prices vary according to motor power, air capacity, working pressure, receiver volume, pump construction, and included equipment.
Share the equipment you intend to use, the number of machines that will operate simultaneously, and the required daily operating time with JBS Makina to receive a current quotation for the appropriate model.

When buying a reciprocating air compressor, do not choose by tank size, horsepower or maximum PSI alone. Actual air demand, working pressure, duty cycle and power supply should be evaluated together.
Short answer: Choose a piston air compressor by required CFM/L-min, working PSI/bar, duty cycle and receiver capacity, not by horsepower or tank size alone.

It may be suitable for service centers, workshops, and small businesses with intermittent compressed-air demand.
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.
