CONTACT USSingle Phase Air Compressors – All-in-One Screw Compressor Power on Standard 240V
Compact, Quiet Single Phase Rotary Screw Compressors for Workshops, Trades & Light Industrial Use
Need reliable compressed air but don't have a three-phase power supply? Our Single Phase Air Compressors deliver genuine rotary screw performance from a standard 240V single-phase outlet — with no costly electrical upgrade required. Each unit integrates the compressor, a refrigerated air dryer, and (on the 3-in-1) a built-in air receiver tank into one compact, factory-assembled package that's ready to plug in and run.
Ideal for small workshops, automotive service bays, trade businesses and light industrial sites, these systems combine clean, dry air with quiet, energy-efficient operation — a practical, space-saving solution wherever three-phase power isn't available.
What Are Single Phase Air Compressors?
A single phase air compressor runs on standard single-phase 240V power — the same supply found in most workshops, homes and small commercial premises — rather than requiring a dedicated three-phase connection. Our single phase models are rotary screw compressors, engineered for continuous-duty operation with lower noise and greater efficiency than traditional piston units. They come as complete, all-in-one systems:
- 2-in-1 – rotary screw compressor with an integrated refrigerated air dryer
- 3-in-1 – rotary screw compressor, integrated refrigerated air dryer, and a built-in air receiver tank
Both models deliver 3.7 kW (5 HP) of power and around 350 L/min (12 CFM) of airflow at 10 bar (145 psi) — making them an easy, install-ready choice where three-phase power isn't an option.
Key Features & Benefits
Runs on Standard Single-Phase Power — Plug into a regular 240V supply — no three-phase connection or expensive electrical work needed to get compressed air on site.
All-in-One, Space-Saving Design — Compressor, dryer and (on the 3-in-1) air receiver are integrated into a single compact footprint — less plumbing, fewer install headaches, and minimal floor space.
Clean, Dry Air as Standard — The built-in refrigerated dryer removes moisture before it reaches your tools, protecting equipment and improving results for spraying, finishing and precision work.
Quiet, Energy-Efficient Screw Technology — Rotary screw design with built-in Variable Speed Drive (VSD) runs smoothly and quietly, matching output to real-time demand to help cut energy use and running costs.
Ready to Run — Factory-assembled and tested, each unit arrives set up and ready to connect — reducing downtime and getting you producing air faster.
Why Choose Our Single Phase Compressors?
- No Three-Phase Required: Ideal for premises limited to a single-phase 240V supply.
- Compact & Complete: Compressor, dryer and receiver combined in one tidy package.
- Consistent, Clean Air: Integrated drying protects your tools and improves finish quality.
- Lower Noise: Screw technology runs quieter than comparable piston compressors — better for occupied workshops.
- Efficient Operation: Built-in VSD adjusts output to demand, reducing wasted energy.
- Australian Support: Backed by local stock, delivery and expert advice.
Applications of Single Phase Air Compressors
Our Single Phase Air Compressors are built for operations that need clean, reliable compressed air without a three-phase supply:
- Automotive workshops & tyre bays
- Panel, paint & spray finishing
- Small fabrication & engineering shops
- Cabinet-making & woodworking
- Trade & maintenance workshops
- Light manufacturing & assembly
How to Choose the Right Single Phase Compressor
When selecting a single phase air compressor, consider these key factors:
- Power Supply – Confirm you have a suitable single-phase 240V circuit and outlet for the unit.
- Air Demand (CFM) – Match the compressor's airflow to the tools you run at once; around 12 CFM suits most single-operator workshops.
- 2-in-1 vs 3-in-1 – Choose the 3-in-1 for an on-board air receiver; the 2-in-1 suits setups that already have a tank.
- Air Quality Needs – The integrated dryer matters most for spraying, finishing and moisture-sensitive tools.
- Space & Placement – All-in-one units save room, but check dimensions and ventilation for your location.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a single phase air compressor?
- A single phase air compressor operates on a standard 240V single-phase power supply instead of three-phase power, making it suitable for small workshops and commercial sites without heavy electrical infrastructure. Our single phase models are rotary screw units with an integrated dryer for clean, dry air.
- What's the difference between the 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 models?
- The 2-in-1 combines a rotary screw compressor with a built-in refrigerated air dryer. The 3-in-1 adds an integrated air receiver tank, giving you compressor, dryer and storage in a single unit — ideal where space is tight and you want a complete, ready-to-run setup.
- Do I need three-phase power to run these compressors?
- No. These units are designed to run on standard single-phase 240V power, so you can get genuine screw-compressor performance without upgrading your electrical supply.
- Are single phase screw compressors suitable for spray painting?
- Yes. The integrated refrigerated dryer removes moisture from the compressed air, which is essential for spray painting and finishing — helping prevent water spotting and delivering a cleaner, more consistent result.
