Mobile 140 l/min unit for breathing air applications up to 350 bar

Low-maintenance, high-performance, and exceptionally durable: the CAPITANO is perfectly suited for daily intensive use in workshops, by emergency services, or at dive centres.

Certified Breathing Air Quality

The BAUER CAPITANO delivers independently tested and accredited breathing air quality that not only meets but exceeds international standards such as EN 12021:2014, CGA/ANSI Grade E, and other relevant norms – ensuring maximum safety for every application.

Designed for Continuous Operation

The CAPITANO is engineered for continuous duty operation and is used worldwide in industrial and professional applications. Its robust design and proven technology ensure reliable performance, even under demanding operating conditions.

Long Service Intervals

Thanks to durable components tested to BAUER’s extreme safety standards and a well-engineered design, the BAUER CAPITANO offers long service intervals that reduce maintenance effort, minimize downtime, and sustainably lower operating costs.

Active Oil Lubrication

The integrated oil pump provides controlled, active lubrication, ensuring maximum operational safety, extended service life, and improved heat dissipation. It enables precise monitoring and clearly differentiates the CAPITANO from simple splash-lubricated systems – even at steep inclinations.

Premium Quality

BAUER breathing air compressors are manufactured to state-of-the-art production standards using precisely matched components. High-quality materials, precision manufacturing, and rigorous quality control ensure long service life, high reliability, and consistent performance under the harshest operating conditions.

Details & Features

The CAPITANO 140 is built to handle maximum load in both continuous and short-term operation. Its robust three-stage design with durable block components ensures a long service life. An aluminum chassis provides optimal corrosion protection, while the large-dimension low-pressure oil pump guarantees reliable lubrication. Low-wear piston rings and a vibration-reducing engine rocker emphasize the professional quality of this mobile compressor solution. With its modular accessory system, the CAPITANO can be easily configured to meet any application requirement.

Compressor block

Bauer's compressor blocks are based on decades of experience and development. An efficient air cooling system with large coolers and finned cylinders ensures optimal cooling. Robust industrial roller bearings, pressure lubrication, and fine oil filters minimize wear. Dynamically balanced drive units ensure smooth operation and long maintenance intervals.

P 21 filter system

The integrated P 21 filter system with oil and water separator as well as pressure-retaining non-return valve ensures reliable breathing air in accordance with DIN EN 12021¹ when using original BAUER filter cartridges. A type-tested, sealed final pressure safety valve ensures maximum operational safety. The processable air volume is 140 m³.

¹ Applies when properly maintained and installed, and if CO₂ limits in accordance with the standard are not exceeded.

Filling device

The filling device consists of a flexible "UNIMAM" high-pressure filling hose and a filling valve with a final pressure gauge. The gauge allows easy reading of the filling pressure and is reliably protected against damage by a robust rubber coating.

Filling hose

The high-quality UNIMAM high-pressure filling hoses are made of food-grade, durable material and provide maximum flexibility during handling. Swiveling hose connections allow for quick, easy, and safe connection of the filling valve to the breathing air cylinder.

Motor rocker with belt tensioner

Thanks to the integrated motor rocker with belt tensioner, no retightening of the V-belt is required anymore.
