The air end is manufactured on the latest CNC grinding machines and inspected using accurate 3D monitoring technology. A “fail-safe” shaft seal system eliminates oil leakage from the housing. Using the 3 O-rings unique design we minimize the down time of the compressor by indicating the need of replacement before breakdown.
What makes this air-end unique?
INGERSOLL-RAND achieves improved profile gaps and high precision dimensional and surface accuracy on all diameters through the implementation of a reverse-turning process using new tooling technology and a 5-axis machining of the housing.
With its semi-integrated design and major components such as inlet check valve, oil filter or thermostatic valve mounted directly onto the casing of the air end, air paths are shortened and optimized for minimum pressure drop, while air and oil connections are reduced to a minimum, drastically reducing opportunities for leaks, while making service and maintenance a lot easier.
