Portable compressors go on show

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 25, 2007

CompAir's turbo screw and lightweight portable screw compressors offer outstanding performance and reliability,.

CompAir is unveiling its latest range of portable compressors at SED 2007.

The new turbo screw and lightweight portable screw compressors have undergone intensive field trials to test their durability in hardworking site environments, and offer outstanding performance and reliability, reduced noise output, excellent fuel consumption and easy manoeuvrability.

The lightweight C50 portable screw compressor builds on CompAir's popular C35 to C76 range.

Fitted with Diesel Particulate Filtration (DPF) as an option and the latest, robust water-cooled Cummins engine, the C50 complies with the most stringent exhaust emissions legislation.

To enhance the efficiency of the compressor, the engine speed automatically adjusts to the air consumption, guaranteeing the most economical operation.

To protect the engine, the compressor automatically shuts down if it runs low on fuel.

The C50 also features a soft start allowing the engine to warm up with an off load compressor.

Suitable for the most hostile environments, the C50 can continue to produce 5.0m3/min up to an ambient temperature of 50C as well as 1500m above sea level.

Extending CompAir's range of single-tool compressors, the new C20 compressor is also on show.

With an optional integrated generator, the C20 GS is powered by a reliable, fuel efficient Kubota V1505 diesel engine.

The machine's efficiency is supported by an air inlet valve and pneumatic engine speed controller for volume flow regulation and energy saving.

The compressor is easy to manoeuvre and its versatility is made greater by the integrated generator which can supply power for the site, lighting or electrical tools.

Designed for the toughest site conditions, this new C115-12 compressor offers the highest reliability, performance and quality of compressed air.

Fitted with a reliable, fuel-efficient Deutz engine, the machine provides a volume output of 11.6m3/min.

Gerry McGettigan at CompAir says: "We are delighted to be launching our latest range of portable compressors at SED".

"We have been listening to what our customers want from their compressor and have applied our design and development resources to meet their needs".

"Utilising the latest diesel engine technology to comply with stringent EU exhaust emissions standards means our customers will benefit from energy and cost-efficient compressors which produce savings of up to 30% on diesel fuel at the same volume flow rate as other similar output machines".

"This means our machines can work for longer on a tank of fuel".

"In addition, the low operating weights of our compressors also score highly - up to 2000kg lighter than other comparable machines".

"With some countries restricting the weight that can be towed by young drivers, a lower weight machine can mean a lot more flexibility for the compressor user".
