This is perhaps the best large coupled machine we manufacture. Using a V8 drive engine from Mercedes with variable rev settings this machine has enough grunt to take volumes up to 2700cfm (or 3 x 900/350 feed compressors). Beautifully balanced and powerful enough for the most demanding applications.
