ENGINE STARTING AIR COMPRESSORS

We manufacture a complete range of medium and high pressure air compressors designed and built to service today's requirements for a compact high capacity starting air system, with outstanding performance and long term economy.

By storing compressed air at pressures of 250 - 1000 PSIG and then reducing the pressure to 100 PSIG at the air starter, the size of the air receiver tank is greatly reduced.  This is particularly critical in packaged generator and gas compressor sets, as well as marine applications where the availability of floor space is limited.

Our module design makes it possible for us to find the optimal solution for each specific case, both from a technical and economical point of view.

Standard packages are available in both simplex and duplex configurations.  Prime movers include electric motors, gasoline or diesel engines, hydraulic motors and power-take-offs.

Every compressor package is completely assembled and tested under load to make sure it leaves our plant in perfect operating condition.  Our starting air compressors are designed to give more air per horsepower, with minimum maintenance and to operate quietly and reliably year in and year out.
