Industrial Gold Air Compressors
Quality and affordability is designed into every air compressor we make. No question about it, these are the most reliable, easiest to use, and simplest to maintain compressors for the money. They’re eco friendly, too, thanks to an exclusive green manufacturing process which reduces each unit’s carbon footprint. And with over 35 years experience, you can rest assured that quality and affordability will continue to be our goal.
Industrial-duty Reciprocating Compressors Built for Business.
IG Industrial Series compressors are designed automotive and industrial applications. Built with large bore low rpm pumps, disc and spring valves and centrifugal unloaders the compressors are made to last and ready to work.
5-30 HP Vertical or Horizontal models available.
The Cube Air System The Ultimate in Flexibility and Longevity.
The Cube Air System is designed to be the simplest to purchase, own, and operate compressor in the world. An industry first, it allows you to purchase a functioning compressor without having to purchase an air receiver.
5-15 HP reciprocating, rotary screw and engine driven models available.
Portable Compressors Ready to Work Wherever.
IG commercial gas and diesel compressors are designed for applications that require air on the go. Designed with durability and reliability in mind these compressors simpler to use and easier to maintain than any other compressor in this class. With stainless steel flex discharge lines and industrial duty drive engines these compressors are built to get work done.
Chose from Commercial and Industrial-duty Reciprocating or Rotary Screw models. Electric, Engine or Hydraulic driven.
Schulz Gas Compressors
Gas engine driven air compressors are ideal for projects that combine mobility and strength at locations that are difficult to access and without reliance on electric power. Compact and strong, they are available in portable single-stage (120 psi) and two-stage (175 psi) versions. Versatility is guaranteed on single stage models with wheels for easy transportation or two stage stationary models which can be assembled/mounted on trucks. Tanks are ASME coded (except twin tank wheel barrel style) using 13 hp Honda or 5.5 hp Schulz engines, suitable for service trucks, contractors and remote jobsites. Select the best option for your needs.Â
Compressor Components
- Pressure Sensor: Detects the pressure of the fluid or gas in the system.
- Diaphragm or Piston: Moves in response to pressure changes, translating mechanical force into electrical signals.
- Electrical Contacts: Open or close circuits based on the position of the diaphragm or piston.
- Set Points: Adjustable settings that determine the pressure levels at which the switch activates or deactivates.
Operation
- Pressure Application: When the pressure in the system rises or falls, it acts on the diaphragm or piston.
- Movement: As the pressure changes, the diaphragm or piston moves. If it reaches a predefined set point (either high or low), it triggers the electrical contacts.
- Circuit Activation:
- Normally Open (NO): The circuit is off until pressure reaches the set point, at which point the circuit closes and activates a device (e.g., a pump).
- Normally Closed (NC): The circuit is on until pressure reaches the set point, at which point it opens and deactivates the device.
- Feedback Loop: The switch can create a feedback loop for maintaining desired pressure levels, turning devices on or off as needed to stabilize pressure in the system.
Applications
Pressure switches are widely used in various applications, including:
- HVAC systems
- Water pumps and well systems
- Compressors
- Industrial equipment
- Automotive systems
