WALTER SK 185 KSP Screw Compressor power input 185 kW, air delivery 29 m³/min at 8 bar, direct drive, fixed speed, 7-year warranty
Code: SK-185-KSPProduct detailed description
WALTER SK 185 KSP screw compressor, the smaller of the pair in a 3,410 mm long housing
The SK 185 KSP shares a 3,410 × 2,170 × 2,260 mm housing with the SK 200 KSP model, from which it differs in the DN 65 connection (SK 200 KSP has DN 80) and a weight of 4,000 kg (SK 200 KSP 4,400 kg).
At 8 bar it delivers 29 m³/min, at 10 bar 28 and at 13 bar 24 m³/min. The noise level of 77 dB(A) is the same for both models.
Configuration of this machine
- Screw element coupled directly to the motor · fixed speed without inverter · three-stage oil separation
- Air delivery of 29 m³/min at 8 bar, 28 at 10 bar and 24 at 13 bar
- Housing shared with the SK 200 KSP, weight 4,000 kg
- DN 65 connection, noise level 77 dB(A)
- Power supply 400 V / 3 / 50 Hz, WALTER CONTROLLER control unit


Who it suits
For large industrial operations with constant draw-off, where 28 m³/min at 10 bar is sufficient. A stronger distribution system for the DN 80 connection is only needed with the SK 200 KSP.
When to choose a different model
Higher input power and connection
In the same housing and with a DN 80 connection is the SK 200 KSP. It weighs 4,400 kg, i.e. 400 kg more, and delivers 28.7 m³/min at 10 bar.
Two-stage compression
With two-stage compression and an inverter, there is the SF 185 DSP: at 8 bar it delivers up to 36.6 m³/min, 26% more, has a DN 100 connection and weighs 4,650 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
- What is the difference between the SK 185 KSP and the SK 200 KSP?
- The housing and the noise level of 77 dB(A) are the same. They differ in power input (185 and 200 kW), connection (DN 65 versus DN 80), and weight (4,000 versus 4,400 kg).
- What ensures the quality of the air?
- Three-stage oil separation. It is more efficient with lower noise and a smaller pressure drop, and the oil mist content in the output air is at most 3 ppm.
The machine is covered by a 7-year warranty on the entire machine. Warranty conditions, maintenance, and a comparison of all 17 models can be found in the category WALTER SK KSP screw compressors: direct drive without losses.
Ventilek’s tip
The 185 and 200 kW pair share a common housing with a length of 3,410 mm. However, the connection changes from DN 65 to DN 80, which is worth knowing before ordering the distribution system.
