ABAC AS-15753TMD 15 HP Rotary Screw Air Compressor - 131 Gallon Tank Mount with Dryer, 175 PSI, 41.7 CFM, 69 dBA

The ABAC AS-15753TMD is the all in one, high pressure build of ABAC's 15 HP AS-B screw compressor: compressor, 131 gallon receiver and refrigerated air dryer assembled onto a single frame and shipped as one machine. It delivers 41.7 CFM at a 175 PSI maximum and runs at 69 dBA on 208-230-460V three-phase power. Because the dryer arrives already piped and wired into the package, there is no second unit to size, site, pipe or power, and the air leaving the discharge is already dry. At 871 lbs in a 76 x 27 x 62 in footprint the whole package occupies roughly the floor space of the tank alone.

Built for continuous duty

The AS-B platform runs a fully integrated aluminum air end block with vertical oil separation, a design ABAC uses to hold down air loss and oil carryover over long run hours. A rotary screw is rated for 100 percent duty, so it holds line pressure through a full shift instead of recovering between jobs the way a piston machine does. The digital controller handles pressure setpoints, start and stop behavior and programmed maintenance intervals, so the machine looks after itself through the shift. Air delivery is rated to ISO 1217 Annex C and the sound level to ISO 2151, which means these figures compare directly against any other manufacturer quoting the same standards rather than a best case number.

Why the dryer belongs on the compressor

A screw compressor pushes warm, saturated air into the piping, and that water condenses out in the lines rather than in the compressor room. Drying at the source keeps condensate out of the distribution piping altogether instead of leaving traps, filters and drip legs downstream to catch it. In a paint booth, a powder coating line or on a plasma table, that is the difference between a clean part and a reject. It also matters more at 175 PSI than at 125, because air compressed harder carries more moisture to drop out once it expands at the tool.

How it compares

Within the 15 HP AS-B range the pressure, the mounting and the dryer all move independently. This is the highest pressure build, and the trade is air delivery: 41.7 CFM at 175 PSI against 46.4 CFM from the AS-15503TMD at 150 PSI and 52.1 CFM from the AS-15253TMD at 125 PSI, all three in the identical cabinet at the same 871 lbs. Specify 175 PSI when a tool or a process genuinely needs the pressure, not as headroom, because every PSI of headroom is CFM you are not getting. If the air downstream is already treated, the AS-15753TM is the same compressor and the same tank without the dryer at 776 lbs. Where a receiver is already installed, the AS-15753BM base mount is the bare machine at 478 lbs in a 37 x 28 x 40 in footprint. If the shop regularly asks for more than 41.7 CFM at this pressure, the AS-20753TMD steps up to 20 HP and 48.5 CFM at 71 dBA. Pick on pressure first, then on CFM, then on whether the tank and dryer come in the package or get bought separately.

Typical applications

Paint and finishing work, powder coating, plasma cutting, pneumatic controls and instrument air, and any shop where moisture in the line shows up as a defect in the finished part. The 175 PSI rating suits shops running higher pressure tooling, long distribution runs where line loss eats into working pressure, and processes specified above 150 PSI at the point of use. The 131 gallon receiver gives the machine room to ride out short bursts of heavy demand without short cycling, and at 69 dBA the package is quiet enough to sit near the point of use rather than in a dedicated compressor room.

What to pair it with

The dryer and the receiver are already in the box, so what is left is drainage, filtration and pipe. Put a condensate drain on the tank and the dryer so the water they knock out actually leaves the system, add coalescing and particulate filtration downstream if the air feeds paint or instruments, and run aluminum compressed air pipe so the distribution side does not put rust back into air you just dried.
