VERTECON®
4 and 5 stage open high-pressure breathing air compressors rated for 7000 psi continuous duty operations.
The BAUER VERTECON® series of high-pressure breathing air compressor systems have been an industry staple for many years. For 7000 PSIG operations, we started with a platform designed for economy and carried it forward with upgrades consisting of a BAUER designed and built compressor and purification system componentry. Each component has been designed and time tested for continuous operations at 7000 PSIG. System operations and monitoring are very intuitive with an operations panel mounted HMI. The system also includes our unique Automatic Condensate Drain system with integral polymer blow down and collection reservoir, which also incorporates a level sensor that will automatically shut the system off should the reservoir not be drained. The package also incorporates an integral base which eliminates the guesswork of product placement, ensuring the system has been installed correctly for system ventilation and maintenance accessibility.
When simple is what you want, look to BAUER.
