Product details

20HP Explosion-Proof Screw Air Compressor

Some workplaces cannot use an ordinary air compressor at all. A paint shop, a chemical plant, a solvent warehouse, or a grain mill carries flammable gas, vapor, or dust in the air, and one spark from a standard motor can ignite it. The 20HP explosion proof screw air compressor closes that risk. The electrical parts that could produce a spark are enclosed in flameproof housings, and the machine is rated so its surface temperature stays below the ignition point of the surrounding atmosphere. That is what lets it run where a standard unit would be a hazard.

The FB-20A follows the same architecture as the rest of the OSMAN FB range, which is already in service in mining, petrochemical, and coating operations. The drive motor is an explosion-proof motor with a flameproof terminal box, the controller sits in an Ex-rated enclosure, and every exposed electrical joint is sealed. As an explosion proof air compressor for hazardous areas, its main job is simple: keep any possible ignition source inside the machine, away from the air outside it. Proper grounding points are fitted as standard, and the unit handles both outdoor weather and dusty indoor rooms.

Rated at 15 kW (20 HP), the machine produces roughly 2.6m³/min at 0.8 MPa, enough for instrument air, pneumatic actuators, and process air in a smaller hazardous plant. Because it is a screw compressor rather than a piston type, the air leaves continuously without pulsation, so control valves and analyzers downstream see a steady supply. The unit is air cooled and needs no water line, which matters on remote sites where utilities are scarce.

As a flameproof rotary screw air compressor, the FB-20A is built in the same Shenzhen factory as the standard OSMAN range, so service parts and technical support follow the same path as the rest of the fleet. Typical installations include solvent handling rooms, coating and painting lines, chemical batching areas, and facilities that store flammable liquids. Tell us the gas group of your site, your supply voltage, and whether you need an integrated receiver tank version, and we will confirm the build before you order.

Advantages

  • Flameproof motor and Ex-rated control enclosure keep ignition sources contained, so the unit is allowed inside classified areas.
  • Surface temperature is held within the rated temperature class, stopping the machine itself from becoming an ignition point.
  • Screw compression delivers continuous, pulsation-free air, which keeps downstream pneumatic controls stable.
  • Air cooled with no water requirement, practical for remote or unserviced sites.
  • Built on the same FB platform already proven in mining and petrochemical installations.
  • Compact 20HP size fits smaller hazardous plants without oversized investment.
  • Voltage, pressure, and tank configurations can be matched at the quotation stage.

Why Choose Us

  • Factory producer. OSMAN has manufactured screw compressors in Shenzhen since 2006; the explosion-proof line is made by the compressor builder, not an assembler.
  • Range experience. The FB family already runs in mining, coating, and chemical environments, and the FB-20A uses the same proven components.
  • Documentation supplied. Explosion-protection documents and certificates accompany the machine as applicable to your market.
  • Matched to your site. Gas group, supply voltage, and tank option are confirmed before production, not discovered at installation.
  • Export ready. Overseas shipping, packing, and paperwork for classified-equipment buyers are handled routinely.
  • One factory for the whole room. Compressor, dryer, tank, and filters can be supplied and serviced together.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between this and a normal 20HP screw compressor?

A:The mechanical compression part is largely the same. The difference is electrical: the motor is a flameproof unit, the control box is an Ex-rated enclosure, and surface temperatures are held inside the rated temperature class. A standard machine can produce an ignition-capable spark or hot surface; the explosion-proof version is designed so it cannot.

Q2: What does the rating on the nameplate mean?

A:Ratings follow the standard explosion-protection marking, for example Ex d IIB T4. "d" means flameproof enclosure, IIB describes the gas group the unit is certified for, and T4 sets the maximum surface temperature at 135 °C. The exact marking on your machine depends on the certificate it ships with, and we confirm it against your site classification before production.

Q3: Can it be used in mines?

A:The FB-20A is built for industrial hazardous areas with flammable gas, vapor, and dust, such as petrochemical and coating plants. Coal mine service usually requires separate mining certification, which is a different approval path. Tell us your application and we will advise what is available.

Q4: Is 20HP enough for our process?

A:It delivers roughly 2.6m³/min at 0.8 MPa. That covers instrument air, pneumatic tools, and actuators for a small plant or a single production line. If you need more flow, the FB range continues through 25HP and 50HP, and we can size the unit from your actual consumption figures.

Q5: Do you offer a version with a receiver tank?

A:Yes. An integrated version with a certified receiver tank is available, which saves floor space and simplifies installation in tight hazardous rooms. The tank option is confirmed together with the compressor build.

Q6: What documentation will I receive with the machine?

A:The unit ships with the operation manual, wiring diagrams, and the explosion-protection documentation that applies to your market. Export buyers should state the required certification standard at the quotation stage so we build and document accordingly.
