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, oillubricated, motormounted or separate drive styles and provides a long, very low maintenance life; and is simple and economical to install and operate. The low vibration design means that the range is ultraquiet in 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).
Options include dualfunction compressor and vacuum pumps. Dualfrequency, multivoltage AC electric motors are available together with, 12 and 24V DC-rated models.
A range of recommended accessories is also available and bespoke versions can be manufactured to special order for OEM quantities.
