SCR-15/7EPM screw compressor power consumption 15 kW, discharge rate up to 3,000 l/min, pressure 7 bar, without air receiver, voltage 400/50 V/Hz YD
Code: SCR-15/7EPMRelated products
Product detailed description
The smallest machine in the EPM range set to seven bar — the pressure most compressed air systems get by on, provided nothing on them explicitly demands more. It is at this setting that the 15 kW machine delivers the most air of all three versions.
Why 7 bar
At 7 bar the machine delivers up to 3,000 l/min and the inverter can pull it down to 750 l/min, a quarter of its output. Reset it to ten bar and delivery falls to 2,300 l/min — 23 % less air, plus roughly a fifth more consumption. On the 15 kW machine that price for pressure is the highest in the range.

|---|---|---|---|
| Order code | Pressure | Free air delivery (l/min) | Loss against 7 bar |
| SCR-15/7EPM — this machine | 7 bar | 750 – 3,000 | 0 % |
| SCR-15/8EPM | 8 bar | 730 – 2,900 | 3 % |
| SCR-15/10EPM | 10 bar | 580 – 2,300 | 23 % |
Dimensions 1,200 × 800 × 1,100 mm, weight 480 kg, outlet R 1" and noise 66 dB(A) are identical at all three settings — it is one and the same machine.



How it differs from its neighbours
Its cabinet is the same as the 18.5 kW machine: 1,200 × 800 × 1,100 mm and 480 kg. The surcharge to SCR-18/7EPM therefore does not buy a bigger machine but 700 l/min more air in the same footprint — worth weighing up if the system is going to grow.
What is inside
Permanent magnet motor
Above IE4 level, oil-cooled, IP65 protection and no bearings to grease. On 15 kW it saves five to six percent against an IE2 motor — not once, but every hour.
Direct drive through a taper coupling
No belts, no gearbox. Tensioning and regular replacement disappear — and with them the downtime that would stop the whole workshop on a 15 kW machine.
Frequency inverter
Stepless regulation from 750 to 3,000 l/min, down to 25 % of output. It holds pressure to within ±0.1 bar and the start never exceeds the rated current.
Screw airend
A rotor profile developed in Japan and multi-point oil injection. Efficiency up to 16 % better than the previous generation, service life over 100,000 hours.
SCR9000 controller
Touchscreen, weekly schedule and operating log. The protections watch for overload, power failure and phase imbalance — worth having on 15 kW.
What the machine needs in the plant room
The machine needs 5,400 m³ of air an hour extracted — a fixed requirement for the smallest cabinet in the range, and in a small room it often becomes the constraint before the compressor itself does. The outlet is R 1", so one-inch pipe is enough; at 3,000 l/min, or 180 m³/h, the air is not yet being forced through it.
| SCR-15/7EPM — figures for the plant room design | |
|---|---|
| Free air delivery | 3,000 l/min · 180 m³/h |
| Speed control range | 750 – 3,000 l/min (from 25 % of output) |
| Ventilation required | 5,400 m³/h |
| Dimensions L × W × H | 1,200 × 800 × 1,100 mm |
| Weight | 480 kg |
| Compressed air outlet | R 1" |
| Noise at 1 m distance | 66 dB(A) |
| Supply voltage | 400 V / 50 Hz |
Equipment
- permanent magnet motor above IE4, oil-cooled, IP65 protection, no bearings
- direct drive by taper connection — no belts, gearbox or coupling
- vector-controlled frequency inverter, 25 to 100 % speed range
- the inverter drives the cooling fan as well
- new airend with a rotor profile developed in Japan
- SCR9000 controller with touch display, weekly timer and cascade of up to 16 machines
- nano-scale intake filter at 99.9 % efficiency, 0.1 µm oil filter
- separator with oil carry-over below 3 ppm
- all-steel internal pipework instead of rubber hoses
- soft start — the current never exceeds the rated value
If you are not sure how much air you need, start from the comparison table for the whole the SCR-EPM range — every output and pressure is there side by side. The machine comes without a receiver; pick one from air receivers. Below 15 kW, and especially if you want the machine and vessel in one, look at the SCR-APM Maxi range.
Before you order the ten-bar version, walk round the machines in the workshop and check what each of them really needs. It is usually less than the plate says.
