SPEEDAIRE 4B234 Electric Air Compressor 2 Hp

Speedaire 4B234 electric air compressor generates compressed air for powering pneumatic tools and machinery. It is ideal for manufacturing facilities, construction sites and automotive repair shops.

Working Mechanism:

• It operates by drawing in air through an inlet filter and then compressing it using a piston-driven pump powered by an electric motor.
• This compression generates heat, which is managed through cooling mechanisms. Oil is used for lubrication.
• The compressed air is stored in a tank and regulated by a pressure switch to maintain a desired pressure range. Users connect pneumatic tools to the compressor's outlet, where the compressed air is utilised.
• Proper maintenance, including oil level checks (if applicable) and filter inspections, is crucial for reliable operation.

Features:

• Speedaire 4B234 electric air compressor features a control panel, allowing precise air pressure and monitoring operational parameters.
• It comes with an integrated thermal overload protection system, safeguarding the motor from overheating during extended use.
• This electric air compressor offers a unique oil-free pump design, eliminating the need for oil changes and reducing maintenance requirements.
• It is equipped with a dual-voltage motor, providing flexibility to operate on both 120 and 240V electrical systems.
• This electric air compressor features a corrosion-resistant aluminium tank, ensuring durability and longevity in humid or harsh environments.
• It is equipped with an air filtration system, delivering clean and moisture-free compressed air for sensitive applications.
• This electric air compressor offers a variable-speed drive technology, enabling energy-efficient operation by adjusting the motor speed according to demand.
• It features an advanced oil-cooling system, maintaining optimal pump temperature during heavy-duty tasks.
• This electric air compressor comes with a built-in air dryer, ensuring compressed air quality for precision applications like painting and sandblasting.
