Details

Featuring a direct coupled 5.5HP three phase motor with an oil injected air-end, allowing a 99% duty cycle. This means you can run this air compressor continuously, unlike piston air compressors that demand a duty cycle. Suited for the industrial workshop (1-2 man) wanting that greater air flow that allows for a constant demand.

Most air compressors run continuously even when you’re not using the air. This machine will perform to your requirements and save you money at the same time by only doing the work that you want it to do! Variable speed technology will reduce your power consumption and give you a quick return on your investment within no time. 

The overall size of the air compressor is also impressive, fitted on top of a 110L tank measuring at 1100MM X 530MM X 1230MM. This makes it one of the most compact air compressors. When in operation it is also very quiet which is a massive feature in smaller workshops.

The electronic controller will operate the machine and show you all the information you need with live feedback. The controller will also show you the service intervals and alarm when a service is required. This is critical to keeping your air compressor in top shape.

Being only 5.5HP this machine has a small AMP draw making if perfect for smaller shops where a larger screw isn’t needed.

With the Peerless Rotary Screw Compressors, we test each model prior to being sent out from our factory for a minimum of 4 hours. The quality assurance inspector then dates and signs the service label notifying of when the next service is required.

Services on Screw compressors are based on hourly usage. The first inspection is in 500 hours of use, this is like a new car inspection. This is to make sure that all seals, valves, filters and oil condition is all working correctly. From there the services are based on the following;

• 2000 Hours
• 4000 Hours
• 6000 Hours
• 8000 Hours and so on.

The services are also based on the environmental conditions – if it is in a fairly dirty environment, services maybe at sooner intervals.

Most sites where an air compressor is installed you may have your own maintenance team, if this is so, yes you can service your own air compressor. This does not void your warranty if serviced correctly under the manufacture guidelines.

Please note: Power supply is very important when selecting an air compressor, along with selecting the right one for the application. Please talk to your local Peerless representative.

Key things to check:

• Check the positioning of your air compressor – no direct sunlight, efficient air flow, non-dusty environment, cool if required.
• Change the oil -  if discoloured change immediately, this is the life line of your air compressor.
• Change the air intake filter - This will keep the pump working efficiently and keep the oil clean protecting your bearings or Air-end.
• Check your air fittings – Air leaks create increased duty cycles making your air compressor work harder, creating heat.
• Inspect your V belts – Make sure you have the right tension and no wear and tear.
• Correct ventilation around the air compressor – all air compressors need air flow.
• Check all your inline filters – restricted or blocked filters lower your efficiency to work by reducing your air flow – these work harder in hotter months.
• Maintain your Dryer – check or re-gas your coolant make sure correct amount of air flow going through.
