Kirloskar Pneumatic Launches Tezcatlipoca A800, Marking India's First Indigenous Centrifugal Compressor in 600-980 CFM Range​

Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited has introduced the Tezcatlipoca A800 Model, an advanced two-stage centrifugal air compressor designed for critical industrial applications. The launch, which occurred on June 26, 2026, at Amanora The Fern in Pune, represents a major step forward in India's industrial compression sector.

The A800 Model is the first indigenously designed and manufactured centrifugal air compressor available in the 600 to 980 CFM range. This launch delivers advanced centrifugal compression technology into a capacity segment where such solutions were previously scarce, offering customers a highly reliable and efficient alternative compared to conventional dry screw compressors while ensuring superior air quality and lower lifecycle costs.

Mr. Aman Kirloskar, Managing Director of Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited, stated that the introduction of the 600 CFM to 980 CFM centrifugal compressor is a point of immense pride for the company. He noted that traditional centrifugal compression typically held economic viability only at larger flows. The engineering challenge involved refining impeller designs, bearing systems, and controls to bring true centrifugal performance down to a footprint suitable for lower flow applications. This model was engineered in India specifically "to solve a problem we have watched customers live with for years."

The Tezcatlipoca A800 Model extends the benefits of centrifugal technology into this capacity segment. The system is designed for simplified installation and seamless integration, making it ideal for industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive manufacturing, textiles, chemicals, semiconductors, and food and beverage processing.
