Code: SK-5-5-SPProduct detailed description
WALTER SK 5,5 SP standalone belt-driven screw compressor
The SK 5,5 SP is the lightest model in the SKTG SP and SK SP range: it weighs 220 kg and comes without tank. At 8 bar it delivers 0.85 m³/min, at 10 bar 0.7 m³/min, and at 13 bar 0.55 m³/min.
The classic belt transmission is easy to service, and the modern belt tensioning system reduces time spent on maintenance. The slow-running screw block operates at a fixed speed, without an inverter.

Who it suits
It is suitable for a workshop or small operation that already has an air receiver or wants to choose one according to its own consumption. The tank volume is then determined by peak demand, not by the size of the machine.
When to choose a different model
Unit with tank
A compressor built directly onto an air receiver is, for example, the SKTG 5,5/270 SP. The tank has a capacity of 270 l and the unit weighs 300 kg.
Inverter and direct drive
A standalone machine with direct drive and inverter is the SF 5,5 KSP. At 8 bar it delivers 0.42–0.95 m³/min and weighs 227 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
- Does the SK 5,5 SP have a built-in air receiver?
- No, it is a standalone machine without tank, and you choose the air receiver separately according to demand. The SKTG models are built on a tank.
- What is the difference compared to the SK 7,5 SP?
- The housing dimensions of 1,020 × 720 × 1,000 mm and the belt drive are the same. Higher power is offered by SK 7,5 SP, which at 8 bar delivers 1.15 m³/min and weighs 240 kg.
This machine is covered by a 7-year warranty on the entire unit. Warranty conditions, maintenance, and a comparison of all 12 models can be found in the category Screw compressors WALTER SKTG SP and SK SP: belt drive.
Ventilek advises
A standalone machine means that the air tank is addressed separately. It is good to plan space for it already together with the placement of the machine, which itself takes up a footprint of 1,020 × 720 mm.
