Product detailed description
2 × B70 · 500 l · 2,046 l/min · 11 bar · 400 VThe biggest displacement we carry among ABAC piston compressors on a 500 l tank. The B70-2x5.5-500FT has two cast-iron B70 pump units with 5.5 kW motors at 1,100 rpm — 2,046 l/min together into a horizontal 500 l tank at 11 bar; 105 dB Lwa and 85 dB at 4 m. For a truck tyre shop, sandblasting or a production shop, where one pump unit with 1,023 l/min handles an ordinary day and the second kicks in when all the workstations come together.
Why two B70s with 5.5 kW and not one B70 with 7.5 kW
One B70 pump unit with a 7.5 kW motor at 1,300 rpm gives 1,210 l/min; two B70 pump units with 5.5 kW motors at 1,100 rpm give 1,023 l/min each, 2,046 together. The slower drive means fewer piston strokes a minute; the timer relay starts the two motors one after the other, so the supply never has to take two motor starts at once. On the same 500 l tank and the same 2,030 × 670 mm footprint you therefore have 836 l/min more displacement and standby for service. If you want the B70 with longer runs at a stretch instead of frequent starts, take the version with 7.5 kW motors on a 900 l tank.
Equipment and details
What the B70-2x5.5-500FT has from the factory
- two two-stage B70 pump units with cast-iron cylinders and an intercooler, oil-lubricated, each with an oil sight glass; V-belt drive turning them at 1,100 rpm under sheet-metal belt guards
- two three-phase 5.5 kW (7.5 hp) electric motors, 400 V / 50 Hz, thermal overload protection; the second motor starts after a delay
- air intake 2 × 1,023 = 2,046 l/min, pressure 11 bar, aftercooler on the outlet of each pump unit
- shared pressure switch with a gauge and a timer relay — the pump units cut in according to the air consumption, while one is being serviced the other runs
- horizontal 500 l tank on feet with holes for bolting down, safety valve, condensate valve in the bottom; air outlet through a ball valve into the pipework (regulator, filter and quick couplings at the workstation)
- noise 105 dB Lwa, 85 dB at 4 m
- AirTube QR code on the tank opens service videos; 2-year warranty (extension to 3 years at extra cost), 10 years on the tank against rusting through
Machine details




Where next if the B70-2x5.5-500FT is not the right fit
The tandem with B70 pump units with 7.5 kW and a 900 l tank is the B70-2x7.5-900FT; if a smaller displacement on a 500 will do, there is the B60 version, the B60-2x5.5-500FT. We carry a single B70 pump unit with 5.5 kW at 1,100 rpm as the B70-5.5-500FT with one pump unit, and one B70 with 7.5 kW as the B70-7.5-500FT with one pump unit. At the workstation a sandblasting gun needs a regulator with a filter.
Values apply to a 50 Hz supply. Air intake is the sum of the air drawn in by both pump units; how much of it reaches the tool depends on the pressure and the tank. Motor power is the sum of both motors. Noise is given as the sound power level Lwa and the sound pressure at 4 m from the machine. The dimensions are those of the machine without packaging. A piston compressor works in cycles (topping up the tank and pausing), not continuously.
Ventilek advises
For a truck tyre shop or sandblasting: two B70 pump units at 1,100 rpm, one for an ordinary day and the other for the peak.

The company ABAC has been one of the most important manufacturers of piston compressors on the world market since its establishment in 1980 . Currently, the brand ABAC is owned by ATLAS COPCO, the largest compressor manufacturer in the world and is part of the multinational group PAD (Professional Air Division). The goal of the ABAC brand is to become a world leader in the development, production and sale of piston compressors.

Production at company ABAC
ABAC compressors are manufactured in 5 production centers around the world, with an annual production of almost 2 million compressors. The brand's parent plant ABAC in Turin, Italy employs around 250 employees and is primarily focused on the design and production of professional V-belt compressors with a daily production capacity of over 600 machines. The ABAC plant also has extensive warehouse facilities with several thousand compressors available for immediate delivery.

Innovative concept
ABAC does not only mean compressor production. We are directly involved in the development of key innovations and advanced solutions and set trends in the compressor market. The efforts of our designers have resulted in, for example, an aerodynamic pulley housing for temperature reduction of up to 35°C, the revolutionary XPAND hose reel compressor or the PRO LINE ZERO oil-free compressors with V-belts. In the ABAC program you will always find the most modern and unique solution for compressed air production on the market.

A modern solution
We are a modern company that is aware of the current trends around us. We are bringing advanced technologies to the compressor industry, such as the use of QR codes and the AIR TUBE app to make it easier for the user of our compressor to access the information they need. We use social media, chat and multimedia instead of traditional marketing and documentation formats. With compressors ABAC you will always have convenient access to all the necessary information.

Compressor program
In the supplier program of the ABAC brand you will find 100%. The basic range includes 100% from small portable compressors for home applications to larger stationary compressors for permanent deployment.
