Explore premier industrial machinery manufactured in our Jiading, Shanghai smart production plant. Direct OEM supply, precision airends, and custom electrical configurations.
In the global industrial compressed air landscape, the 15 Horsepower (equivalent to 11 Kilowatts) rotary screw compressor occupies a strategic nexus. It represents the vital boundary between point-of-use localized machinery and facility-wide centralized pneumatic power.
Over a 10-year operational lifecycle, electrical power consumption represents approximately 76% of total compressor expenditure, dwarfing initial capital equipment purchase (12%) and ongoing preventative maintenance (12%). OEM 15 HP units equipped with high-efficiency permanent magnet variable-frequency drives (PM VFD) dynamically eliminate destructive unload idling losses, generating a full return on investment (ROI) within 14 to 18 operational months.
Unlike reciprocal piston compressors that suffer from thermal throttling and duty limitations capped at 50–60%, our OEM 15 HP rotary twin-screw airends feature continuous 24/7 run capabilities. Engineered with precision oil injection or dry zero-friction coatings, our asymmetric 5:6 rotor profiles deliver an uninterrupted mass air flow rate (1.45 to 1.80 m³/min) without thermal degradation or internal pressure drop.
For modular workshops, laser cutting cells, and automotive centers, space efficiency is paramount. OEM supply specifications allow full 4-in-1 integration: the 15 HP screw unit, a 500-liter certified air receiver vessel, a high-efficiency refrigerated air dryer (+3°C pressure dew point), and 4-stage precision particulate/oil removal filters mounted compactly on a single vibration-isolated baseframe.
Engineered to fulfill demanding operational parameters across diversified manufacturing environments. Our OEM 15 HP screw compressor platforms adapt seamlessly to specific operational dynamics.
High-speed CNC laser cutters require high-pressure assist air (16 to 20 bar) to purge molten dross cleanly. Our high-pressure 15 HP systems provide cost-effective assist gas replacement for expensive liquid nitrogen, cutting operating expenses by up to 70% in sheet metal fabrication.
Multi-axis milling centers and automated robotic pick-and-place lines rely on ultra-stable pneumatic pressure (±0.01 MPa tolerance) to actuate tool changers, spindle air seals, and vacuum clamping systems. Our PM VFD prevents line pressure drop during synchronized shift changes.
Where compressed air directly contacts primary packaging, sterile blisters, or beverage bottles, zero oil presence is non-negotiable. Our OEM 15 HP dry-type or water-lubricated units guarantee 100% hydrocarbon-free delivery meeting ISO 8573-1 Class 0 cleanroom certifications.
Semiconductor test benches and SMT pick-and-place feeders require particle-free, moisture-depleted compressed air to eliminate electrostatic discharge (ESD) and nozzle clogging. Integrated high-efficiency refrigerated cycling dryers maintain constant ISO dew points.

Operating from our British-invested 50,000 m² manufacturing plant in Jiading District, Shanghai since 2004, Shanghai Honest Compressor Co., Ltd. delivers customized industrial OEM screw compressors globally.
Airend rotors are manufactured using German CNC rotor grinding centers, maintaining clearance tolerances within ±2 microns. This ultra-precise 5:6 asymmetric tooth geometry minimizes leakage triangle slip, guaranteeing industry-leading Specific Power Consumption (kW per m³/min).
Before crating, every single 15 HP compressor is connected to computer-monitored testing cells. Flow rates, discharge temperature gradients, full-spectrum vibration FFT analysis, sound pressure levels, and electrical isolation resistance are logged under full operational back-pressure.
We provide complete industrial turnkey private labeling services. From custom electrostatic powder-coated RAL enclosure colors and branded laser-cut faceplates to customized PLC controller firmware supporting English, Spanish, German, French, and Russian interface languages.
Exporting machinery to over 50 countries requires rigorous adherence to regional pressure safety codes, electromagnetic compatibility directives, and diverse electrical grid parameters.
Every destination market operates on distinct power conditions. Our engineering department manufactures OEM 15 HP machines configured for North American grids (208V/230V/460V 60Hz 3-phase), European/Asian networks (380V/400V/415V 50Hz), and mining/heavy industrial grids (575V 60Hz).
Our products feature full compliance documentation. Air receivers and oil-gas separation vessels conform to European CE-PED (Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU), North American ASME Section VIII Div 1, and Australian AS1210 standards. Electrical cabinets meet CE-MD and UL 508A specifications.
Standard compressors frequently encounter high-temperature trips when ambient temperatures exceed 40°C. Honest OEM 15 HP compressors incorporate oversized dual-core aluminum plate-fin oil and aftercoolers, anti-dust pre-filtration panels, and Class F/H insulation capable of continuous operation up to 50°C (122°F).
As industrial automation aligns with net-zero carbon directives and Industry 4.0 data frameworks, our R&D engineering lab in Shanghai continues to advance screw compression capabilities.

Under standard ambient testing conditions (ISO 1217 Annex C, 20°C, 1 bar inlet), a precision-machined 15 HP (11 kW) rotary screw compressor delivers between 1.65 m³/min (58.2 CFM) at 7.0–8.0 bar pressure and 1.45 m³/min (51.2 CFM) at 10.0 bar pressure. For specialized 13 bar to 16 bar high-pressure models, flow scales proportionally to approximately 1.15 to 1.30 m³/min.
In 15 HP industrial applications, air consumption frequently swings throughout shifts (e.g., CNC idle states, intermittent pneumatic cylinders, paint booth cycles). A fixed-speed unit unloads when target pressure is reached, consuming 40% full-load electrical energy while producing zero air. A PM VFD machine tracks air demand continuously by altering motor RPM, consuming power strictly proportional to air delivery and delivering 20% to 40% electrical cost savings.
Yes. We specialize in comprehensive OEM and ODM partnerships. We manufacture complete custom exterior sheet metal designs, corporate color matches (powder-coated RAL specifications), customer-branded nameplates, laser-etched badges, and customized touchscreen PLC firmware featuring distributor logos, dedicated service hotline displays, and multi-language user interfaces.
Initial break-in maintenance occurs at 500 hours (oil filter and lubricating fluid change). Regular maintenance intervals occur every 2,500 to 3,000 running hours (or annually), including air intake filter element replacement, oil filter replacement, spin-on air/oil separator cartridge change, and synthetic compressor lubricant refresh. Consumable components are designed with quick-release housings to reduce servicing labor to under 45 minutes.
Oil-injected screw compressors inject synthetic oil into the rotor chamber to provide lubrication, sealing, and heat absorption, achieving residual oil carryover downstream below 3 ppm (reduced to <0.01 ppm with coalescing micro-filters). Oil-free compressors (dry type or water-lubricated) introduce zero hydrocarbons into the compression chamber, achieving certified ISO 8573-1 Class 0 air purity required in critical pharmaceutical, medical, and food packaging processes.
We provide a standard 2-year warranty on the precision screw airend and 1-year coverage on the complete machine assembly. We maintain global regional service parts hubs, with emergency replacement parts dispatched via international air courier within 24 hours. Distributors receive structured commissioning support, high-resolution 3D schematics, and comprehensive English technical manuals.
