Product detailed description
Professional cast iron compressor ABAC - CA1-5,5-500FT
The Pro Line CA1 two-stage compressor in oil-lubricated design is designed for heavy-duty and continuous use in workshop and production applications. The compressor unit, with cylinders and heads made entirely of cast iron, operates at extremely low speeds, ensuring very low operating temperatures and providing extreme performance and long machine life. The connection between the electric motor and the CA1 compressor unit is made by V-belts. The machine has the following benefits and standard equipment:
- two-stage design with cast iron compressor with high compression efficiency
- aftercooler at compressor outlet and finned discharge pipe to reduce air temperature
- oil reservoir equipped with oil sight glass for easy reading of oil level
- suction filters with folded paper insert for higher air suction efficiency and reduced noise
- automatic operation control by means of a high-end Condor pressure switch
- electric motor equipped with temperature protection
- pressure gauge for reading the pressure in the air tank
- 500 litre horizontal air receiver with condensate drain valve
- rubber bases for total vibration dampening of the machine
Easy installation and maintenance thanks to service videos available via the AIRTUBE app after downloading the QR code from the pressure vessel.
We provide a standard warranty period of 2 years with the possibility of extending it to 3 years and a 10-year warranty against rust-through of the pressure vessel.

ABAC is an Italian compressor brand, founded in 1981 and part of the Atlas Copco Group since 2007. We carry machines from a carry-case compressor you lift with one hand, through workshop piston compressors, to industrial and screw machines for an entire hall.
Besides standard oil-lubricated machines, ABAC also makes oil-free compressors for paint shops and surgeries, soundproofed machines in an acoustic cabinet and engine-driven compressors for building sites. They are complemented by ABAC DRY refrigerated dryers, oils and service kits.

Intake is the air the pump draws in; less of it reaches the tool. For screw compressors the manufacturer states the delivery.
How to choose an ABAC compressor
1. Work out the air demand
Add up the consumption of all tools running at the same time and add a reserve. Compare it with the delivery, not the intake: on piston machines the delivery is roughly a quarter lower.
2. Match the running time
For work with breaks, a Line or Pro Line piston machine is enough. If air has to flow all shift long, choose ABAC Tech with an S1 motor or a screw compressor.
3. Check power and space
Smaller machines run from a 230 V socket, more powerful ones need a three-phase 400 V supply. In the code of an electric piston machine, M stands for a 230 V motor and T for 400 V.
4. Maintain regularly
On oil-lubricated machines, check the level in the sight glass and drain the condensate after work. ABAC piston pumps have service kits: the basic LK1 for yearly and the advanced PK1 for two-year maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
- Who makes ABAC compressors?
- ABAC is an Italian compressor brand founded in 1981. It is based in Robassomero near Turin and has been part of the Atlas Copco Group since 2007. Its production quality is backed by ISO 9001 certification.
- Piston or screw compressor?
- It depends on running time. A piston machine fills the receiver and rests, so it suits intermittent work in a workshop. A screw compressor is built for continuous operation and pays off where air is used all shift long. For its screw machines ABAC states roughly 30% higher energy efficiency and about 20 dB(A) less noise.
- Which ABAC compressors are oil-free?
- The Expert Zero range, the quiet Super Silent OS, the ATF and ATFS versions of ABAC Tech, the Clean Air dental compressors and the SUITCASE carry case compress air without oil. They suit paint shops, food production, laboratories and surgeries.
- How quiet is an ABAC compressor?
- The rating plate shows the sound power level Lwa; 4 m from the machine you will measure about 20 dB less. Silent machines in a cabinet have 81 to 89 dB Lwa, the quiet Super Silent OS 63 to 65 dB at 4 m and the screw compressors 57 to 71 dB(A).
- Do I need a dryer with my compressor?
- Compressed air always contains water that condenses in the pipework. For painting or a long pipe network you need a dryer: the ABAC DRY refrigerated dryer brings the air to a pressure dew point of +4 °C and comes in 17 sizes from 266 to 18,000 l/min. Some Pro Line, Silent and SPINN machines have a dryer fitted at the factory.
- Where do I find the manual and which oil should I use?
- Manuals and service videos open via the QR code on the machine in the AirTube app. ABAC piston machines use Altair and ABAC Pro oils, screw machines Rotair oils, including the food-grade Rotair Foodgrade. The manual tells you which oil your machine needs.
Manuals and service videos for ABAC compressors are in the AirTube app via the QR code on the machine. Technical data are manufacturer figures. ABAC is a brand of the Atlas Copco Group.
