Updated: May 26
The Nardi PACIFIC line is a series of high-pressure vertical and portable compressors designed to deliver clean, compressed air across a range of over 40 models of breathing air and industrial applications. The models within the line vary in output, configuration, and drive options, giving buyers the flexibility to match the right unit to their specific pressure and flow requirements.
In this post, we'll walk through what defines the Pacific family: the pressure ratings, delivery rates, filtration, and available vertical and portable configurations. If you're evaluating whether a Pacific fits your operation, this is the place to start.

How to Read the Specs
• Maximum working pressure is shown in bar (psi).
• Delivery (FAD) is shown in L/min (cfm) based on the compressor model range.
• Power lists motor/engine ranges in kW (hp) that can vary widely among the available models.
• Frame type identifies cabinet types, i.e., vertical and portable.
• 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 and are subject to change without notice. Available options may vary by configuration and will affect weight.
