The J.A. Becker & Söhne V 5461-2/40 type, 18.5 kW single-stage air compressor, is designed to meet the demands for high-performance, reliable compressed air generation. This robust equipment is the ideal choice for industrial applications where a stable, high-pressure air supply is essential, coupled with outstanding efficiency.
The V 5461-2/40 model reflects the J.A. Becker & Söhne philosophy: offering not „commodity products”, but high-quality, durable solutions with long maintenance intervals and excellent cooling performance.
This compressor also meets the highest quality standards, thanks to its carefully designed technical solutions:
Outstandingly Efficient Cooling: The advanced cooling system ensures optimal operating temperature, minimizing heat loss and increasing the compressor's lifespan. This is particularly critical during continuous, high-load operating modes.
Fully Automatic Draining (Condensate Removal): The built-in, fully automated condensate removal system ensures the system always remains dry, preventing corrosion and degradation of compressed air quality. This reduces the need for manual intervention and increases operational safety.
Long Maintenance Intervals: As a result of high-quality components and an efficient lubrication system, maintenance cycles are significantly extended, reducing downtime and operating costs.
Robust Construction: The members of the V 5461-2/40 series are designed to withstand even the harshest industrial environments, ensuring reliable operation.
The V 5461-2/40 single-stage air compressor features the following specifications, enabling operating pressures between 20 and 40 bar, with a volumetric flow rate between 228.6 and 456.0 m³/h.
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Model | V 5461-2/40 | Single-stage air compressor |
| Performance (Electric Motor) | 18.5 kW | Nominal Power |
| Inlet pressure | 7.5 bar | Standard Suction Conditions |
| Volume flow rate (Suction side) | 4,200 l/min | Corresponds to 252 m³/h |
| Maximum Operating Pressure | 20 bar | Lower limit of the specified range |
| Compression Stages / Cylinder | 1 / 2 | Single-stage compression, two cylinders |
| Speed (Nominal) | 1.500 U/min | Electric motor speed |
| Volume flow (Standard) | 228.6 – 456.0 m³/h | Volume flow achievable in the operating range |
| Operating Pressure (Range) | 20 – 40 bar | Pressure range that can be provided by the equipment |
Note: The maximum operating pressure of 20 bar is listed in the technical data table, whereas the product description mentions a range of 20-40 bar. The exact configuration and maximum pressure depend on the order specifications.
The V 5461-2/40 series compressors represent the engineering precision of J.A. Becker & Söhne. The two-cylinder, single-stage design is an ideal choice for those who require reliable, medium-to-high pressure air but do not require the complexity of two-stage systems.
The compressor unit (compressor block) is a proprietary development by J.A. Becker & Söhne, guaranteeing outstanding mechanical stability and a long service life. The 18.5 kW electric motor drives the system at 1500 rpm, creating an optimal balance between performance and energy efficiency.
The 7.5 bar inlet pressure (suction side pressure) means the compressor can be ideally integrated with existing lower-pressure storage systems, or it can operate directly from ambient air, subsequently compressing it to the desired high pressure (up to 40 bar).
Efficient cooling is crucial for maximizing the lifespan of compressors. The high-efficiency cooling solution applied in the V 5461-2/40 model minimizes the accumulation of heat generated during compression. This not only reduces wear on mechanical parts but also ensures that the temperature of the compressed air remains optimal, thus reducing further cooling or drying requirements on the user side.
The flexibility of the unit in terms of volumetric flow rate and pressure makes it truly versatile:
Volumetric flow rate: The suction capacity of 4,200 l/min (252 m³/h) provides a stable foundation. The actual volumetric flow rate adjusts to the final pressure, ranging between 228.6 m³/h and 456.0 m³/h according to specifications, depending on the set operating pressure.
Pressure: The range between 20 bar and 40 bar covers special industrial requirements over a wide scale, such as high-pressure pneumatic systems, PET bottle blowing, or special testing procedures.
J.A. Becker & Söhne is committed to a low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Long maintenance intervals translate directly into savings on labor and spare parts replacement costs. Fully automatic condensate drain eliminates the need for daily or weekly manual draining, thereby increasing system reliability and reducing the risk of human error.
The V 5461-2/40 compressor is excellently suited for:
Driving high-performance pneumatic tools.
Industrial processes where stable, high-pressure air is required.
Production lines where continuous and reliable air supply is critical.
Special high-pressure systems (e.g., pressure testers).
This equipment is a first-class product in every respect, prioritizing durability, efficiency, and minimal maintenance requirements.
