Code: SK-160-KSPProduct detailed description
WALTER SK 160 KSP screw compressor in its own housing
SK 160 KSP is the only model in the range in a 2,650 × 1,700 × 1,900 mm housing. At 8 bar it delivers 24 m³/min, at 10 bar 23.7, and at 13 bar 21.15 m³/min.
Compared to SK 132 KSP, it is heavier by 1,019 kg (3,300 kg vs. 2,281 kg) and louder by 3 dB(A). The DN 65 connection remains the same.
Configuration of this machine
- Screw element coupled directly to the motor · fixed speed without inverter · three-stage oil separation
- Air delivery of 24 m³/min at 8 bar, 23.7 at 10 bar, and 21.15 at 13 bar
- Own housing 2,650 × 1,700 × 1,900 mm, weight 3,300 kg
- DN 65 connection, noise level 75 dB(A)
- Power supply 400 V / 3 / 50 Hz, WALTER CONTROLLER control unit


Who it suits
For large-scale production with continuous and steady air consumption, where the simplest design without an inverter makes sense. With a weight of 3,300 kg and a noise level of 75 dB(A), the machine belongs in a separate compressor room.
When to choose a different model
Smaller machine
One step down is the SK 132 KSP in a 2,727 × 1,666 × 1,800 mm housing. It weighs 2,281 kg and has a noise level of 72 dB(A).
Two-stage compression
Two-stage compression with an inverter is offered by the SF 160 DSP: at 8 bar it delivers up to 33.3 m³/min, has a DN 100 connection, and weighs 4,250 kg.
What the parameters imply — calculated values
The values are calculated from the maximum air delivery at 8 bar and serve for comparing models with each other, not as a guaranteed value.
Frequently asked questions
