Powerhorse M46851A.1 Stationary Air Compressor
Designed for heavy-duty use, the Powerhorse M46851A.1 Stationary Air Compressor features a robust gas-powered 414 cc engine. It is ideal for use in a construction setting where there is as yet no available electric power.
Attached to the flywheel and motor pulley is a belt that drives a two-stage air pump. The belt is enclosed in a protective casing made of wire mesh to avoid accidental contact with it while in operation.
The pump is constructed with a cast iron cylinder for durability, but with an aluminum head for quicker dissipation of heat. It is also equipped with fins for a better airflow. As it utilizes a two-stage process, it is capable of compressing air in the horizontal air storage tank up to 175 PSI. The ASME certified tank has a capacity of 30 gallons. Before reaching the tank, the compressed air passes through an aftercooler. This dries the air and improves its quality, resulting to a longer life for your pneumatic tools.
As soon as maximum pressure is reached, the engine automatically idles down to save on fuel. An added safety feature to protect the engine is its auto shut off on low oil. The tank is likewise protected from excessive pressure. In the event that air pressure exceeds 175 PSI, an ASME Safety Valve at the pressure gauge automatically releases air.
The compressor delivers 15.9 CFM at 90 PSI, while at 175 PSI, the figure is reduced to 14.7 CFM. With this pressure, the Powerhouse M46851A.1 Stationary Air Compressor can easily drive your pneumatic nailers, wrenches, air sprays, sanders, and grinders.
