We are an air receiver tank supplier South Africa offering competitive air receiver prices. We are the go-to air receiver South Africa supplier for SANS-approved tanks. — supplying SANS approved air receivers from 300L to 5000L. Every unit is a pressure vessel air tank pressure-tested to SANS 347 and supplied with an air receiver with safety valve, pressure gauge and drain valve. Suitable as a compressed air tank (compressed air storage tank) for any rotary screw or piston compressor. Both vertical air receiver and horizontal orientations available.
Every rotary screw compressor needs a properly sized air receiver for screw compressor use. Without one, your compressor cycles excessively — increasing wear and energy use. As a general rule: receiver volume (litres) = FAD (L/min) × 6 to 10. The table below matches your air compressor tank for sale requirements to the correct receiver size.
Use this table to match your compressor to the correct receiver size. For detailed sizing guidance, visit each size page.
| Compressor Size | FAD (m³/min) | Recommended Receiver | Orientation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5 kW | ~1.1 | 300 litre | Vertical |
| 11–15 kW | ~1.8–2.2 | 500 litre | Vertical / Horizontal |
| 22 kW | ~3.6 | 500 L or 1 000 L | Vertical / Horizontal |
| 30–37 kW | ~5.0–6.0 | 1 000 litre | Vertical / Horizontal |
| 45–55 kW | ~7.5–9.5 | 2 000 litre | Horizontal |
| 75–90 kW | ~13–16 | 3 000 L or 5 000 L | Horizontal |
| 110–160 kW | ~20–33 | 5 000 litre | Horizontal |
Factory-set SANS-compliant pressure safety valve on every unit. Prevents over-pressurisation.
Glycerin-filled dial pressure gauge included. Digital gauges available on request.
Manual full-bore drain valve standard. Automatic condensate drain available as upgrade.
Pressure test certificate and compliance documentation with every receiver.
Shot-blasted and primed internally. Epoxy lining available on request.
We deliver to Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria, East Rand, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and all major centres.
An air receiver tank (also called a compressed air storage tank, air compressor tank for sale, or pressure vessel air tank) is critical infrastructure in any compressed air system. Without adequate storage, your compressor cycles on and off constantly — increasing wear, energy use and the risk of pressure drop during peak demand. A correctly-sized receiver provides system stability, peak demand buffer, reduced cycling and downstream moisture separation.
Use 6–10 times your compressor's free air delivery (FAD) in litres as a starting point. A 22 kW compressor delivering 3.6 m³/min (3 600 L/min) pairs with a 500–1 000 litre receiver. Visit each size page for a detailed suitability table, or contact us for a free sizing recommendation.
Yes — all receivers are pressure tested and comply with SANS 347. Each unit is supplied with a pressure test certificate, safety relief valve, pressure gauge and drain valve.
