This is our Factory-Direct 5.5 HP Honda Driven, V-2 Cylinder, 100% Cast Iron Construction Compressor. We have been building top-quality compressors here at our factory in Eaton, OH for 31 years. We build ONLY the best quality or we do not build it!!! Read this information below carefully and compare it to our competition. We have seen so many compressor companies that are telling untrue CFMs on their compressors and phony HPs on their motors. The best way to get around this and find out the truth is to compare the size of the tank and the pump-up time it takes to pump it to a certain pressure, plus get the RPM that the pump is running to get it to that pressure. There are so many compressors that I see on the market that are not close to what they are claiming on the HP or CFM, but the pump-up time will tell the truth. The pump-up time on this 17-Gallon tank from 0-135 PSI is 2 minutes @ 1130 Pump RPM.
We use the HONDA engine - We need to say no more! Everybody knows Honda and the quality they have. This engine has much better starting than most of our competition and the slant cylinder design makes it much smoother than the vertical cylinder engines on the market. This engine has an overhead valve system. It also has low-oil shutdown.
Our tank is the best quality in the gas-drive market. It is rated for a maximum pressure of 200 PSI. This unit will pump to a maximum of 135 so the tank has much more capacity than the compressor will put out. This tank is ASME certified. This means it is certified by the U.S. Government to work at 200 PSI at a maximum working temperature of 450o and is U.S. made. If you check our twin tank rivals, they use a non-code tank which means it is not ASME certified. The tank is much thinner and will rust out much faster if not drained from condensation. There are many states that will not allow a non-code tank to be used. California is one of them. Non-code tanks can be very dangerous and in some cases can explode causing serious injury.
This unit has pneumatic tires, one on each side of the tank. This makes for stable rolling around, unlike most units with only one wheel in the middle. One wheel is ok, but not as stable when you are rolling it around. This unit is equipped with an engine idle down. This is hooked to the unloader valve on the compressor. When the unit gets up to pressure and unloads the head, it also idles the engine down. This unit also has rubber handle grips on each handle for good handle gripping. Unit has a handle on the other end so 2 men and load it easily. This unit has a heavy, heavy-duty 13-gague belt guard fabricated for this unit here at the factory and is OSHA approved. This unit also has a " regulator included - it is an $84.00 option that we include on this unit. This makes it nice because it is all brass and will last for MANY years and by going " as apposed to most units on the market with ", you will not lose volume or pressure because it is too small. You can bush it down from " to the size of your fittings. This unit has V-belt drive, not poly-V. V-belt is much more dependable and will last much longer without belt slippage. We use a cast-iron drive pulley on the Honda engine. Cast-iron pulley will last much longer than an aluminum pulley. We also use metal filters instead of plastic. This unit is equipped with 2 automotive style air filters.
This compressor has a CFM Displacement of 13. This CFM is the bore of the cylinder times the stroke or the distance the piston travels times the RPM the pump is running (1130 RPM) at zero pressure. As you go up in pressure, the higher you go, the less CFM you get. For example, this pump has 13 CFM Displacement at zero PSI and has 9.7 @ 90 PSI. You can see as you go up in pressure, your CFM will diminish. Most people think the opposite-the more air pressure you have the more air you are getting, but this is the opposite- - the more pressure you have the LESS air you are getting.
* 200 PSI AMSE-Certified Tank ($100.00 more than non-code twin tank)
* Raised-mounted platform under compressor pump- this raises the pump and allows air flow under the crankcase to help cool your oil ($40.00 value)
* " SOLID Brass Regulator - Industrial Quality installed on the unit ($84.00 value)
