About Honest Compressor

Rotary Screw Air Compressor Manufacturer in Shanghai — Oil-Free, PM VFD & Two-Stage Systems

Shanghai Honest Compressor Co., Ltd. is a British-owned manufacturer founded in early 2004, specializing in twin-screw air compressors for continuous industrial duty.

From our 50,000 m² plant at No. 355 Jiajian Branch Road, Malu Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, our team designs, machines, assembles and tests compressors, oil-free screw blowers and screw vacuum pumps for buyers in more than 50 export markets.

Electricity typically accounts for the largest share of a compressor's lifetime cost — far more than the purchase price. That is why our range is built around the three technologies that move total cost of ownership most: permanent-magnet variable-frequency drives, two-stage compression and Class 0 oil-free air.

Buyer FAQ

Selecting an Industrial Screw Air Compressor

Straight answers to the questions procurement and engineering teams ask us most often.

How much energy can a PM VFD screw air compressor save?

On sites with fluctuating air demand, permanent magnet variable frequency compressors typically save 20–40% of electricity compared with fixed-speed load/unload machines, because motor speed follows actual consumption instead of idling. Savings depend on your demand profile, so we recommend a load profile review before sizing.

When should I choose an oil-free screw air compressor?

Choose oil-free whenever compressed air touches the product or process — food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, textiles and painting. Dry-type and water-lubricated designs deliver Class 0 air per ISO 8573-1 and remove the risk of oil carry-over contamination.

What information do you need to size a compressor?

Required free air delivery (m³/min or CFM), working pressure (bar or MPa), daily running hours and demand variation, required air quality class, supply voltage and frequency, cooling preference (air or water), ambient temperature and site altitude.

Do you offer OEM and ODM customization?

Yes. We supply OEM and ODM compressors with custom voltage such as 380 V, 400 V or 415 V, controller language, enclosure color, branding and integrated configurations combining compressor, air tank, dryer and filters.

What is the benefit of a two-stage screw air compressor?

Two-stage compression splits the pressure ratio between two rotor sets with inter-stage cooling. This lowers compression temperature and internal leakage, giving higher specific efficiency than single-stage units — especially for large flows and continuous duty.
