What the MZB 10A-400 Includes: the 3-in-1 System
1. MZB-10A Screw Compressor — the heart of the system
The direct-drive compressor with BAOSI block is designed for 24/7 continuous operation — the key difference from piston alternatives. The enclosed cabinet (Cabin type) reduces noise to 66±2 dB, allowing installation directly in the workshop, next to workstations. Direct drive via elastic
coupling eliminates belt-friction losses and removes the need for periodic belt inspection and replacement. The INVT frequency inverter adapts
motor speed to actual air consumption, saving energy at partial loads.
2. 400 L Receiver — pressure stability and air reserve
The 400 L volume is an expanded option for this power class. The receiver stores compressed air to absorb peak loads, acts as a first-stage condensate separator and stabilises pipeline pressure when multiple consumers start simultaneously. A larger receiver means fewer compressor start cycles and less motor wear.
3. Refrigerated Air Dryer — dry air for your equipment
The dryer cools compressed air to a dew point of +2…+10°C, condensing moisture and removing it through the condensate trap. Capacity of 1.5 m³/min comfortably covers the MZB-10A’s output. Dry air protects pneumatic tools from corrosion, prevents condensate freezing in pipelines in winter and is mandatory for food, medical and electronics industries. Powered by 220V — no three-phase supply required.
“The MZB-10A is the workhorse of small and medium-sized businesses. The main advantage of this model is its ease of maintenance and predictability. When the filter and oil replacement schedule is followed, the screw air end demonstrates excellent durability, even when operating in three shifts. For those who need stability without overpaying for complex electronic control systems, this is the optimal choice.”
Advantages of Direct Drive over Belt Drive
- Maximum efficiency — energy transfer with virtually no friction losses, no belt slippage.
- No belt replacement costs — one of the most frequent consumables in belt-drive compressors is completely eliminated.
- Lower vibration and noise — direct coupling connection runs quieter, confirmed by the 66 dB rating.
- Extended bearing life — no radial load from a tensioned belt on motor and block bearings.
- Reliability in dusty environments — belts deteriorate rapidly in dusty conditions; direct drive is unaffected.
Applications for the MZB 10A-400
Furniture Manufacturing and Woodworking
Pneumatic CNC machining centres, edge-banding machines, sanders and part-feeding systems need stable pressure and dry air free of condensate. The 1,100 l/min delivery at 10 bar powers several machines simultaneously, and the dryer protects wooden components from moisture in the compressed air.
Paint Shop and Coating Production
Moisture in compressed air is the main enemy of paint quality — it causes fish-eye defects, bubbles and poor adhesion. The dryer in the MZB 10A-400 delivers the air quality needed for professional finishing. Suitable for supplying multiple spray booths or an automated coating line.
Full-Service Auto Repair
Centralised air supply for lifts, impact wrenches, tyre equipment and spray guns. Continuous 24/7 operation and the 400 L receiver guarantee stable pressure during peak hours.
Food Industry and Packaging
Filling and labelling machines, pneumatic conveyor drives, valve control systems. The refrigerated dryer provides the moisture class required by food production standards.
Textile and Light Engineering
Pneumatic looms, presses, assembly lines. The 24/7 mode supports three-shift production without compressor shutdowns.
MZB-10A (without receiver) vs MZB 10A-400: which to choose
| Parameter | MZB-10A (without receiver) | MZB 10A-400 |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor | MZB-10A 7.5 kW | MZB-10A 7.5 kW |
| Receiver | ❌ none (required separately) | ✅ 400 L |
| Dryer | ❌ none (required separately) | ✅ refrigerated, 1.5 m³/min |
| Ready to operate | Additional installation needed | Ready after power connection |
| Suitable for food / electronics | ❌ without dryer — no | ✅ yes |
| Pressure stability at peak loads | Lower (no buffer) | ✅ high (400 L buffer) |
If you already have a receiver and dryer, the base MZB-10A is the right choice. If you are building a pneumatic station from scratch, MZB 10A-400 saves installation time and guarantees component compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions about the MZB 10A-400
What is the difference between the MZB-10A (without receiver) and MZB 10A-400?
MZB-10A — base compressor without receiver or dryer. MZB 10A-400 — complete 3-in-1 station: compressor + 400 L receiver + refrigerated dryer (dew point +2…+10°C). Saves installation time and guarantees component compatibility.
Why is an air dryer needed with the compressor?
Without a dryer, condensate in compressed air corrodes pipes, blocks pneumatic valves, damages tools and freezes in winter. The refrigerated dryer removes moisture by cooling air to a dew point of +2…+10°C. Mandatory for food, medical and electronics industries.
What is the maintenance interval?
First compressor service at 500 hours. Subsequent services every 2,000–3,000 hours. Dryer: annual check and condensate trap cleaning. Spare parts in stock at Acvatron.
Can it be used in an unheated space in winter?
Not recommended below +5°C. At lower temperatures the oil thickens, making start-up difficult and accelerating wear. The dryer also requires positive temperatures for the condensate trap to work.
How does the MZB 10A-400 compare with the Airpol K11?
MZB 10A-400 — Chinese manufacture, 7.5 kW, dryer included, lower price, suited to SMEs. Airpol K11 — Polish manufacture, 11 kW, delivery up to 2,500 l/min, higher reliability class for demanding conditions.
