Interstage and final separators have aunique maintenance free insertinstalled to prevent moisture and oilfrom contaminating the compressed

air.Oversized stainless steel intercoolersand aftercooler provide excellent pro-tection against corrosion and improvethermal stability which reduces thepossibility of developing leaks at con-nection points. Our coolers are strate-gically mounted so that all surfaces areexposed to the cooling air fan blastassuring superior heat dissipation. Noauxiliary cooling fans are required.

Three and four stage compressorsspecifically designed for continuousduty 5000 and 6000 psig applicationswith no cool down cycle requirements.

Unique five stage compressordesigned for the rigors of 7000 psigcontinuous duty service offering con-siderably less compression ratios perstage.

No Break-In period required on ini-tial start-up due to plateau honing andnitrate treatment of cylinder walls.

Excellent flow capacities with conserv-atively low compressor RPM.

Longest maintenance intervals andcost conscious replacement partsmake cost of ownership the lowest inthe industry.

Cast aluminum magnesium alloycrankcase engineered for superiorstrength, reduced weight and excep-tional heat rejection while offering agenerous oil sump capacity. The one-piece design eliminates the potentialfor oil leaks between upper and lowercrankcase sealing surfaces.

An oil sight glass and inexpensive, eas-ily replaceable oil filter are standard onall models.

Low pressure lubrication system, geardriven by the crankshaft, pumps fil-tered oil to the final stage of compres-sion.

Single acting, free floating aluminumfinal stage piston with multiplepolymide rings and machined oilreturn ports assure proper lubrication,

reduce noise levels, reduce liner wear,limit blow-by oil consumption and car-bon build up.

High strength, heat resistant polymiderings are a more pliable material thansteel or iron minimizing ring breakage,easing installation and removal andincreasing life expectancy.

Innovative cooling fan designs thatreduce noise levels while producingincreased cooling air flow across thecompressor.

Heavy duty drive gear with 30,000

hour life expectancy. A durable forgedsteel crankshaft supports high strengthaluminum alloy connecting rods. Forreduced friction and maximummechanical efficiency each connectingrod has a roller bearing at the crank-shaft end and a needle bearing at thepin end. The drive gear is supported inthe crankcase with heavy duty ballbearings. The dynamically counterbal-anced crankshaft provides smooth,practically vibration free operation.

Valves are readily accessible for inspec-

tion and maintenance. Maintenance isinexpensive and easy to complete. Thedesign guarantees optimum air flowand efficiency, thus maximizing valvelife - 2000 hours!

HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACEHMI with a four-line backlit or multi-color touch screen display will detail allsafety/fault shutdowns with scrollingtext of up to three potential causes.Standardized wiring harnesses are builtas sub-assemblies for uniformity acrossproduct lines. Wiring is color codedand encapsulated within a split corru-gated type loom. Each wire end con-nection is machine crimped and num-bered. Plug and play sealed electricalconnections.

OIL AND FINAL AIR PRESSUREThey are monitored by pressure sen-sors and transmitted to the HMI fordigital display offering accuracy, con-sistency and reliability. The pressuresensors have adjustable set point anddead-band thru the HMI (passwordprotected). Stainless steel high pres-sure tubing sets us apart from thoserelying on less expensive hose. Skilledlabor and CNC tube bending ensureuniformity.

AUTOMATIC CONDENSATEDRAINThe highly engineered, yet mainte-

nance friendly ACD and reservoir sys-tem with high liquid level indicationsystem to alert the operator via theHMI. Manually operated drain valvesare supplied to override the automaticoperation of the ACD system for testand maintenance purposes.

CONTAINMENT FILL STATIONSBAUER CFS II is the safest and easiestto use in the industry. With anergonomically designed fill stationdoor, only eighteen pounds of effort isneeded to open or close, thereby elim-inating operator fatigue. Our thirdparty testing profile exceeds the stan-dards of NFPA 1901. Even the smallestdetail mattersmolded multi-heightSCBA riser ensures a good fit.
