Medium Duty Compressors


Medium duty compressors range from 18 to 50cfm (500-1426 L/min) and come in standardized and customized configurations. You can choose from a wide range of compressors and motors to meet your specific needs. Portability and CFM air requirements are two factors to consider in choosing the right medium duty compressor for your job. We have built a few versatile packages based on our experience and are happy to customize these or start from the ground up for your job requirements.

Your choice will depend on where you will use it and what equipment it will be used with. Our medium duty range is available in gas, diesel, hydraulic or electric. In electric the motors are available for any voltage or Hz that you may require. Three phase models are available in 50 or 60Hz or both 50/60Hz. Our frames include a belt guard and are made with 6061 aluminum, steel, or if preferred stainless steel. The compressor plates are made with Marine Grade Aluminum or steel or 316 SS. A drip pan is included on most models and optional for those without. Packages are set up to have handles, wheels and a lifting eye. While larger packages tend to be constructed of aluminum frame material with four lifting eyes and forklift slots for transporting. Volume tanks and diver air filtration options should also be considered when customizing your compressor package.

The frame style pictured below has room for a 30 gallon (114 liter) volume tank and the proper filtration for the diver. The frame can be purchased with almost any engine, motor or any compressor that is wanted. Lifting eyes and a bottom “drip” pan are added options. The frame is made with 6061 Aluminum and the compressor plate is 304 SS. Notice: The volume tank is always on the opposite side of the engine exhaust.
