Like the 1310, the 1809 Booster is an integral engine booster, 4 Cylinders drive and 4 boost. This booster can take 1800cfm from e.g. from 2 x 900/350 feed compressors. For applications requiring high volume and high pressure, you won’t find a more reliable compact booster. It loves to work all day every day.
