Air Compressors: What to Consider When Buying
Rotary type compressors are now taking a larger bite out of piston compressors in the collision repair market, with their manufacturers claiming this technology is more energy efficient and provides a reliable supply of clean, dry air.
Redesigned 15- and 20-hp Air Compressors
Kaeser’s redesigned SK rotary screw compressors are reliable, efficient 15- and 20-hp industrial air compressors that are easier to maintain and offer a smaller footprint than older models. The units provide greater flow at 46-89 cfm with pressures from 80-217 psig. The SK series still features the Sigma Profile airend, as well as automatic belt
Maximize Energy Efficiency With These Rotary Screw Air Compressors
FS-Curtis recently introduced the GS Series, a new line of variable speed drive air compressors that are energy saving, environmentally friendly and economical. It features FS-Curtis’ exclusive eCOOL Technology, which maximizes energy efficiency by providing improved cooling of the main drive motor and other critical components, improving volumetric and electrical efficiency and compression. Cooler airflow
Quiet Air Compressor
Mattei Stacked System air compressors are ideal for waterborne paint systems. It stacks two air compressors into a single space, cuts energy costs in half and provides back-up air supply. Its automatic operation delivers steady pressure and quick response to demand surges. It’s also reliable, low-maintenance and has quiet operation with a 10-year warranty.
Self-Cleaning Automatic Air Compressor Drain
Failure to routinely drain your compressed air system can have catastrophic results. The Moisture Minder EDV automatic drain has a solenoid design, and the valve body is self-cleaning with a fixed strainer screen that removes contaminants before reaching the valve orifice. The only maintenance required is to open the control valve periodically.
