Air compressors have many applications in a craft brewery — from keg washing and assembly line processes to bottling beer and plain old power tools. Ingersoll Rand (IR) is a famous brand that has been manufacturing compressors since the 1800s. It’s had a keen eye on the craft brewing market for a while, and it touts tailored solutions for a brewery’s many and varied processes. The company just released two new air compressors for light commercial businesses like small breweries — both with energy and efficiency in mind.

The RS11-22kW and RS15-22kW are the first compressors in the Next Generation R-Series. The RS15-22kW unit includes premium features like a fixed-speed or variable speed drive (VSD) motor, which allows the unit to operate at different speeds for different products and industrial processes. Of course when it comes to compressors, it’s all about the airend, right? Well the RS15-22kW debuts a brand-new IR airend design that produces 20 percent more airflow compared to previous Ingersoll Rand compressors. That means big energy savings. The RS11-22kW on the other hand houses a redesigned cooling system to increases energy efficiency up to 12 percent compared to those legacy UP6 compressors. To the press release!

“The RS11-22kW and RS15-22kW compressors give smaller commercial businesses the efficiency and reliability of industrial-grade compressors, in a package that meets their unique needs around footprint and total cost of ownership,” said Kevin Kosobud, Contact Cooled Portfolio Leader, Ingersoll Rand.

Let’s dig into the systems and specs, shall we?
