ABAC AS-10S753BM 10 HP Rotary Screw Air Compressor - Base Mount, 175 PSI, 29.9 CFM, 65 dBA

The ABAC AS-10S753BM is the 175 PSI build of the quiet, higher output 10 HP machine in the AS-B range. It delivers 29.9 CFM free air delivery at a 175 PSI maximum and runs at just 65 dBA, quiet enough to leave on the shop floor near the point of use instead of walling it into a compressor room. This is the base mount version, so it ships without a receiver and plumbs into an air tank you already own or one sized to your demand. At 454 lbs in a 37 x 28 x 40 in cabinet it stays compact for a 10 HP screw. Power is 208-230-460V three-phase.

CFM quoted as free air delivery per ISO 1217 Annex C. Noise measured per ISO 2151:2004 using ISO 9614/2.

Why a screw instead of another piston

A rotary screw is built for continuous duty, so it holds a steady line pressure through a full shift rather than recovering between jobs. That is the reason to move off a piston machine that is cycling hard, running hot and filling the room with noise. The AS-B air end is a fully integrated aluminum block with three stage vertical oil separation, which keeps oil carryover and air loss low across long duty cycles, and ABAC pairs it with an energy efficient motor and a digital controller so the service schedule lives on the panel rather than on a clipboard.

How it compares

Within the AS-10S base mount build, pressure and flow trade against each other on the same machine. The 125 PSI AS-10S253BM gives 39.8 CFM and the 150 PSI AS-10S503BM gives 35.6 CFM, both in the identical 454 lb, 37 x 28 x 40 in cabinet as this 175 PSI build at 29.9 CFM. Specify 175 PSI when a tool or process genuinely needs the pressure rather than as headroom, because you are paying close to 10 CFM for it against the 125 PSI build. If you would rather buy the receiver and the plumbing in one piece, the 131 gallon tank mount AS-10S753TM is the same air end on a receiver, and the AS-10S753TMD adds an integrated dryer to that skid.

Typical applications

Production and fabrication floors, automotive and fleet service bays, tire and truck shops, cabinet and woodworking shops, and any operation where a reciprocating compressor is working too hard to hold line pressure. The 175 PSI rating is what to look at when line losses across a long header leave too little margin at the tool, or when a press, a plasma table or a pneumatic clamp is specified above the 125 PSI a standard shop machine delivers. The 65 dBA rating is the reason to choose the AS-10S over the standard AS-10 when the compressor has to share space with the people using it.

What to pair it with

Base mount is the starting point for a modular compressed air system. Size a receiver to your demand and pipe it downstream of the compressor, then add moisture control if the air goes to paint, tires or anything that hates water. The ABAC COOL 50 refrigerated air dryer is rated at 50 CFM, comfortably above this compressor's 29.9 CFM output, which is the margin you want so the dryer is not running at its limit on a hot day, and it runs on 115V so it plugs in beside the compressor without new wiring.

Call us with your tool list and duty cycle and we will confirm receiver sizing, connection sizes and installation clearances before you pipe it in.
