Description
Air End
- Oil-injected, rotary screw air end featuring a unique asymmetric rotor profile.
- Designed and manufactured in-house using the most advanced computer- aided artificial intelligence and robotic technology.
- High efficiency, low speed, oversized air end reduces fuel consumption, noise and wear.
Diesel Engine
- The engine match selection for each compressor model is based on achieving optimum performance and reliability with the lowest possible fuel consumption.
- Only premium quality engines are used including Kubota, Yanmar, Hino, Mitsubishi and Caterpillar. All are backed up by their own worldwide parts and service networks.
- Low fuel consumption and both exhaust and noise emission levels are amongst the best in class.
- Automatic fuel prime and air bleed system eliminates the need for opening injector lines if the compressor runs out of fuel.
- Two-stage fuel filtration via water sedimenter and high capacity pleated filter element.
Control System
- Integrated starting unloader control for initial engine warm-up.
- Automatic zero to 100% capacity control by means of engine speed regulation and compressor inlet valve modulation.
- Shutdown protection for critical parameters including engine oil pressure, engine coolant temperature and compressor discharge air temperature.
- Warning protection for non-critical parameters including battery voltage and fuel level.
- Additional shutdown and warning features depending on model.
Operator Interface
- Removable starter key to prevent unauthorised operation.
- Comprehensive analogue and digital instruments supplemented by status and warning lights.
- Operator controls and instruments all grouped together ergonomically on one panel.
- Control panel located at the rear of the compressor for operator protection from passing traffic.
- Discharge air outlet valves located adjacent to the control panel for visual confirmation of air line status.
Aftercooler (Factory Fitted Option)
- Integrated air-to-air aftercooler and water coalescer remove liquid water and mist from the compressed air.
- Discharge air temperature reduced to 20°C maximum above ambient (plus selectable 20°C reheating on model FAC-185PD).
- Recommended for abrasive blasting, protective coating and pneumatic tool applications.
Steel Chassis and Body Panels
- Durable and tough, powder-coated steel body panels won’t fade and crack like a plastic canopy.
- Damaged body panels can be easily unbolted and repaired off-site.
- High visibility white colour approved for mine site use.
- Lockable cabinet doors and control panel cover for safety and security.
- Internal pneumatic tool storage compartment on gull wing door models.
- Single point lifting lug positioned above the unit’s centre of gravity.
- Overall fit and finish is of premium Japanese automotive standard.

- Side hinged doors open out wide to 180 degrees.
- Top hinged doors with gas struts open up high for ample headroom.
- Side-by-side radiator and oil cooler are easier to clean.
- Safety guard fitted around engine cooling fan and V-belts.
Noise Control
- Super silent full load noise levels from as low as 64 dB(A) at 7 m.
- Low engine and air end speed design is intrinsically quieter.
- Steel body panels lined with sound absorbent material.
- Computer aided sound path analysis and attenuation design.
Environmental Protection
- Low fuel consumption ensures a reduced carbon footprint.
- Low exhaust emissions cause minimal harm to the atmosphere.
- Low noise levels protect ambient conditions and workers’ hearing.
- Models FAC-18B and 18BC are bunded to prevent environmental contamination from fuel, oil or coolant leaks.
- Almost 100% recyclable at end of service life to save the earth’s precious resources.
Options
- Optional custom equipment is available to comply with application specific requirements such as mine site use.
- Locally fitted, high quality components designed and tested to work reliably under the harshest conditions.
- Professionally installed by factory trained technicians during compressor pre-delivery inspection and testing.
