Vanair recently unveiled a variety of new products including lightweight hydraulically driven and rotary-screw air compressors.
The company touts its new Reliant RS45 as 55 percent lighter than its predecessor and having the highest cubic-feet-per-minute rating in its class. It also says it cut the weight of its Reliant RS85 in half while delivering 40 percent more power.
Both hydraulically driven compressors’ canopies are made of aluminum, which prevents rust and helps reduce weight and fuel consumption.
The RS45 delivers up to 45 cubic feet per minute of air power and 150 pounds per square inch of pressure on demand at 100 percent of duty cycle.
The RS85, which weighs 238 pounds, delivers 85 cubic feet per minute of air power. The company says that’s enough to operate a 90-pound jackhammer, a 4-inch piercing tool, a 1 1/2-inch impact wrench and to assist in air gouging. Vanair also designed the RS85 to take up less truck space.
Both machines are designed for quieter operation. The RS85 has an on-off button LED control panel.
