Choosing the right compressor can be confusing—especially with so many different names and models across the Nardi Compressori product range. Each line is designed with specific uses in mind, but for new customers, those differences are not always obvious. This blog series is designed to guide you through the unique features of each Nardi compressor family—explaining where they fit, the pressures they reach, the flow rates they deliver, and the options available. By the end of this series, we hope you’ll have a clear sense of which Nardi compressor is the best fit for your needs.
The high-pressure Pacific series family covers over 40 versions of breathing-air compressors—from portable electric and gasoline units to high-output, silenced cabinets. Use this guide to quickly compare maximum pressure, delivery, power, and frame type across each model range, then click the model title to access NardiAmericas.shop product pages to view a full list configurations and options.
How to read these specs
• Max working pressure is shown in psi (bar).
• Delivery is shown in cfm (L/min) based on the compressor model range.
• Power lists motor/engine ranges in hp (kW) that can vary widely among the models.
• Frame type identifies cabinet types, i.e., portable, open, and silenced.
• Model range provides the number of model compressors available.
• Weight range offers the high and low weight of the compressors in that model.
All specifications are manufacturer-published ranges; options may vary by configuration and will affect weight.
