Workers in paint booths and other
areas where hazardous gas may be
present need a portable source of air
and the Gast range of rotary vane air
compressor and vacuum pumps can
provide the volume of air needed at
the low pressure required for as
many as eight people.
The range is available with oil-less, oil-lubricated, motor-mounted or separate drive styles and is said to provide a long, very low maintenance life. Simple and economical to install and operate, the range features a low vibration design for ultra-quiet operation.
Units offer a wide range of pulsefree airflow rates from 0.31 to 112cfm (0.53 to 190m3/h) without the need for a separate receiver tank.
Vacuum ratings range from 65 to 335mbar with pressure ratings from 5 to 25psig (0.4 to 1.7bar) and motor outputs from 1/45 to 15HP (0.02 to 11.1kW).
