New from Doosan Portable Power in Europe,
meanwhile, is the Stage IIIB-compliant 7/125-10/110
portable compressor, whichboastsanewdualmode
feature as standard, with a choice of two pressure
and flow ratings on the samemachine.
By pushing a button on the keypad, the operator
can switch between ‘LO’ (low pressure mode: rated
pressure 6.9 bar/free air delivery 12m
3
/min) and ‘HI’
(high pressure mode: rated pressure 10.3 bar/free
air delivery 10.6m
3
/min).
Finally, the company said it had also branched
out in Latin America, where it launched its new 185
cfm (5.24 m
3
/minute) portable air compressors —
the new P185 and recently redesigned C185. These
compressorshavebeendesigned topowerhandheld
air tools, chippers andbreakers.
Aimed at road building contractors, the
compressors are powered by a 65 hp (48 kW)
turbocharged Kubota engine and can deliver air
at 100 psi (6.9 bar). Doosan added that the units
have been designed for different environmental
conditions, includingworking at high altitudes.
Another manufacturer targeting the Latin
American market is Sullair, which has introduced
its expanded ShopTek line of lubricated rotary
screw air compressors to the region, addingmodels
ranging from 25 hp (18.6 kW) to 100 hp (74.6 kW) to
its existing line of smaller compressors from 5 hp
(3.7 kW). The line-upnowboasts 14models.
Brent Mumford, vice president and general
manager for Sullair Stationary Air Compressors,
said, “While we have had smaller horsepower units
available for several years, many Latin American
countriesareexperiencinggrowth inmanufacturing.
“The larger ShopTek units provide more choices
for helping our distributors match the right
compressor to the right customer. Our global
manufacturing capabilities have really made this
expanded ShopTek launchpossible.”
Improving volumes
Meanwhile in North America, Jenny Products
focussed on improving volumes with its latest
launch – the electric-powered J5A-30P air
compressor, which it claims boasts the highest
volume in its class. It pointed out that the 30 gallon
(114 litre) air tank was ideal for running multiple
tools simultaneously.
Driven by a 5 hp (3.7 kW) electric motor, the J5A-
30P features a four-cylinder pump and can produce
19.4 cfm at 100 psi (33m
3
/h at 6.9 bar) or 19 cfm at
125 psi (32.2m
3
/h at 8.6bar).
Jenny Products said the compressor contained
many standard features to maximise service life
while requiring little maintenance – characteristics
that will likely be of interest to rental buyers. The
manufacturer explained that pump temperature
Kaeser Kompressoren has developed a low-emission
Mobilair product range for engines below 19 kW
(compressormodelsM20 andM27) and for engines
from 85 kW to 265 kW (M114 toM350models)
