Description
Air Compressor 500L-15B
The Air Compressor 500L-15B is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade belt-drive piston air compressor designed for continuous operation in high-demand environments. The model designation breaks down to a massive 500-litre air storage tank and a 15 Bar maximum pressure rating, making it an ideal choice for busy workshops, auto body shops, and light industrial facilities.
- Massive Air Storage: Features a 500-litre (approx. 132 US gallons) tank that ensures a stable, high-volume air supply and drastically reduces motor start-stop cycles to extend the unit's lifespan.
- High Working Pressure: Operates at a maximum capability of 15 Bar (217 PSI), providing the force necessary to easily drive heavy pneumatic tools, painting systems, tire servicing, and sandblasting rigs.
- Heavy-Duty Piston Technology: Built with a reciprocating piston system engineered for non-stop performance during rigorous, extended duty cycles.
- Belt-Driven Operation: The V-belt drive configuration allows the pump to run at lower, optimized speeds (RPM), which significantly reduces heat generation, noise pollution, and mechanical wear compared to direct-drive models.
Construction & Safety System
- Optimized Cooling Structure: Built with an air-cooled setup, often utilizing cast iron or highly efficient aluminum cylinders and integrated interstage cooling to maximize heat dissipation and maintain low oil temperatures.
- Integrated Safety & Protection: Outfitted with an automatic pressure switch (with an ON/OFF toggle), a dedicated safety valve to prevent vessel overpressure, and built-in motor overload protection.
- Easy Monitoring: Includes large, clear pressure gauges to monitor tank pressure and an easy-access sight glass window to verify lubricating oil levels instantly
