High-Output Compressor Range

Compressor manufacturer Gast Group has extended its Jun-Air range of ultra-quiet compressors that provide clean, dry air for laboratory applications. The oil-free OF1200, a higher-output version of the best selling OF300, has an output of 130 l/min at 8 bar the OF1200 offers a useful 45% increase over the OF300, greatly extending the potential applications for the oil-free range. The 50/60Hz dual-frequency also provides greater flexibility for exporting OEMs, as the OF1200 can operate anywhere in the world without the need for modification. Versions are also available to operate at 10 bar maximum pressure.

Units feature the same unique cooling system, wear-resisting piston rings and proven manufacturing technology as the OF300 and is designed for 100% reliability in continuous operation. Units are constructed with fewer moving parts in order to reduce wear and provide maximum reliability, minimum maintenance and a long working life and receivers are internally coated to guarantee an air supply that is in optimum condition. Like all JUN-AIR oil-free compressors from the Gast Group, the OF1200 range is vibration-free and extremely quiet, operating at just 76dB(A) as free-standing units. When housed in optional silent-running cabinets the noise level is reduced to as low as 55dB(A). However, the Gast Group has introduced a new range of soundproof cabinets for the OF1200 that reduce sound emissions to as low as 55 dB(A) which, combined with the attractive and easy-clean ‘medical’ white textured finish, makes them ideal for laboratory, medical and other working environments and for installation close to individual workstations.

The new cabinet can be used free-standing or wall mounted and is available for compressors with outputs up to 146 l/min at 8 bar and tank sizes up to 40 litres. They feature a removable top for easy access,
and are designed with usability, hygiene and maintenance in mind. All compressors are equipped with efficient ventilation and cooling to ensure their 100% continuous duty cycle is maintained when installed
in a cabinet. In addition, the OF1200’s 50/60Hz dual frequency gives it the flexibility to operate anywhere in the world without the need for modification, and versions are available to operate at 10 bar
maximum pressure.
