Getting to Know the Nardi Silverstone Series: Oil-Free & Low-Pressure Convenience

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 Silverstone series is Nardi’s entry level of low-pressure, oil-free compressors. The Silverstone is designed to deliver compressed air up to 114 psi (8 bar) for a wide variety of workshop, hobby, and utility applications.

Weighing in at just over 15 pounds (7 kg), the compact, lightweight, and easy to transport Silverstone units are available in AC electric and DC (battery) versions, making them flexible enough for both fixed and mobile use. The oil-free design means low maintenance, no risk of oil contamination, and quieter operation compared to traditional oil-lubricated units.
