15 Bar Screw Compressors
GTEC offer a full range of 15 Bar screw compressors with higher pressure models available.
15 Bar screw compressors are often seen as a specialist compressor but GTEC offer 15 Bar configuration on all fixed and variable speed screw compressors from 4kW to 75kW.
GTEC offer 7.5 Bar, 10 Bar, 13 Bar and 15 Bar configurations on all screw compressors from 4kW to 75kW with higher pressures available on request.
All compressors are offered with air treatment solutions to suit the desired pressure. Low, Medium and High pressure options all available from stock.
We offer booster compressors for both compressed air and Nitrogen applications.

Where Are 15 Bar Compressors Used?
A 15 bar compressor is the go-to choice when standard pressure simply is not enough. Industries that rely on high-pressure air for critical processes need equipment that can deliver consistently without dropping off under load.
You will find 15 bar compressors across laser cutting, PET bottle blowing, CNC machining and heavy-duty sandblasting operations. These are applications where even a small pressure shortfall can cause real problems on the production line.
Pharmaceutical and food processing plants also use 15 bar systems where higher pressures are needed to drive packaging lines, operate pneumatic controls or supply nitrogen generation equipment. The demand in these sectors continues to grow year on year.
We also see increasing demand from construction and energy production clients who need portable or fixed high-pressure air for on-site tools, testing rigs and pipeline work. A well-specified 15 bar compressor removes the need for multiple lower-pressure units running in parallel.
What to Consider When Choosing a 15 Bar Compressor
Getting the right 15 bar compressor for your operation comes down to more than just pressure rating. There are a number of factors worth thinking through before you commit to a system.
Key considerations include:
- The actual air demand (in litres per minute) your process requires at 15 bar, not just peak pressure
- Whether a fixed speed or variable speed drive makes more sense for your usage pattern
- The quality of air you need, particularly if your application calls for oil-free or Class 0 air
- Space and noise limitations at your site, as higher-pressure compressors can run louder and hotter than their lower-pressure equivalents
- Downstream air treatment requirements, since moisture and oil carryover increase at higher operating pressures
Our engineering team can walk you through each of these points during a free consultation. We have spent over 50 years helping businesses get the right compressed air setup first time round, and we are just as comfortable advising on a single workshop compressor as we are specifying a full multi-unit system.
Keeping Your 15 Bar Compressor Running Right
Higher operating pressures put more stress on internal components, which means servicing schedules for 15 bar compressors should never be treated as optional. Regular maintenance protects your investment and keeps energy costs under control.
Filters, separators and drain valves all work harder at 15 bar. Letting service intervals slip is one of the fastest ways to push up running costs and shorten the life of your equipment.
Our mobile engineers carry out planned maintenance on 15 bar systems across London and the South East. Every visit is logged and scheduled so nothing gets missed, and if something does go wrong between services, our emergency response team is on hand to get you back up and running quickly.
Whether you are looking at purchasing a 15 bar compressor outright, hiring through our Total Air+ programme or simply need a service plan for existing equipment, we are here to help. Give us a call and speak to one of our engineers directly.
