Specification

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Air End

• Oil-injected, rotary screw air end featuring a unique asymmetric rotor profile.
• Designed and manufactured in-house using the most advanced computeraided artificial intelligence and robotic technology.
• High efficiency, low speed, oversized air end reduces fuel consumption, noise and wear.

Diesel Engine

• The engine match selection for each compressor model is based on achieving optimum performance and reliability with the lowest possible fuel consumption.
• Only premium quality engines are used including Kubota, Yanmar, Hino, Mitsubishi and Caterpillar. All are backed up by their own worldwide parts and service networks.
• Low fuel consumption and both exhaust and noise emission levels are amongst the best in class.
• Automatic fuel prime and air bleed system eliminates the need for opening injector lines if the compressor runs out of fuel.
• Two-stage fuel filtration via water sedimenter and high capacity pleated filter element.

Control System

• Integrated starting unloader control for initial engine warm-up.
• Automatic zero to 100% capacity control by means of engine speed regulation and compressor inlet valve modulation.
• Shutdown protection for critical parameters including engine oil pressure, engine coolant temperature and compressor discharge air temperature.
• Warning protection for non-critical parameters including battery voltage and fuel level
• Additional shutdown and warning features depending on model.

Operator Interface

• Removable starter key to prevent unauthorised operation.
• Comprehensive analogue and digital instruments supplemented by status and warning lights.
• Operator controls and instruments all grouped together ergonomically on one panel.
• Control panel located at the rear of the compressor for operator protection from passing traffic.
• Discharge air outlet valves located adjacent to the control panel for visual confirmation of air line status.

Aftercooler (Factory Fitted Option)

• Integrated air-to-air aftercooler and water coalescer remove liquid water and mist from the compressed air.
• Discharge air temperature reduced to 20°C maximum above ambient (plus selectable 20°C reheating on model FAC-185PD).
• Recommended for abrasive blasting, protective coating and pneumatic tool applications.

Steel Chassis and Body Panels

• Durable and tough, powder-coated steel body panels won’t fade and crack like a plastic canopy.
• Damaged body panels can be easily unbolted and repaired off-site.
• High visibility white colour approved for mine site use
• Lockable cabinet doors and control panel cover for safety and security.
• Internal pneumatic tool storage compartment on gull wing door models.
• Single point lifting lug positioned above the unit’s centre of gravity.
• Overall fit and finish is of premium Japanese automotive standard.

Air-Oil Separator Tank and Safety Valve

• WH&S registered pressure vessel design with manufacturer’s data report supplied.
• Non-adjustable, sealed and stamped safety valve.
• Approved for workplace use in all Australian States and Territories.

Inspection and Maintenance Provisions

• Fluid drains are fitted with valves and piped to the outside of the unit.
• Selected models have external air-oil separator elements.
• Dual element air filters prevent dust ingress during replacement.
• Side hinged doors open out wide to 180 degrees.
• Top hinged doors with gas struts open up high for ample headroom.
• Side-by-side radiator and oil cooler are easier to clean.
• Safety guard fitted around engine cooling fan and V-belts.

Noise Control

• Super silent full load noise levels from as low as 64 dB(A) at 7 m.
• Low engine and air end speed design is intrinsically quieter.
• Steel body panels lined with sound absorbent material.
• Computer aided sound path analysis and attenuation design.

Environmental Protection

• Low fuel consumption ensures a reduced carbon footprint.
• Low exhaust emissions cause minimal harm to the atmosphere.
• Low noise levels protect ambient conditions and workers’ hearing.
• Models FAC-18B and 18BC are bunded to prevent environmental contamination from fuel, oil or coolant leaks.
