Compressor Features
Vibration free operation
is achieved through the horizontally opposed, balanced design.
Proven simple design for
reliable operation and easy service.
Oil free cylinders are available
where purity of the gas must be maintained. These may offer savings
compared to lubricators, discharge gas filters, and purchasing and
disposing of lubricants.
Standard components throughout
the range of models, means that smaller parts inventories are required
to service the many different models.
Efficient and economical
because each compressor is sized and designed to suit each application,
without compromise.
Lower maintenance
costs because of the simple design of the compressor and compressor
packages. Many applications do not require water or cylinder lubrication
systems.
