Hitachi Global Air Power US, LLC, has announced the expansion of its oil-free air compressor lineup with the introduction of the Sullair DS Series 280-450 kW industrial rotary screw air compressors.
"We are broadening our oil-free compressed air business in response to customer needs," said John Randall, Hitachi Global Air Power President and CEO. "We offer advanced, proven technology in the oil-free compressed air space where we have seen demand accelerate. Expanding our oil-free offerings to include higher power ranges enables us to offer more solutions for our customers while delivering the same reliability and durability our Sullair compressors are known for."
Building on the success of the recently launched Sullair DS45-75 kW Series and the legacy DSP Series, the new DS 280-450 kW models are engineered to meet the needs of industries requiring larger oil-free air power.
The Sullair DS 280-450 Series is engineered with efficiency and convenience in mind. It features a compact, high efficiency two-stage air end with carbon steel rotors and a patented blend of PTFE rotor coating with a PSA topcoat. Multiple removable door panels and easily accessible maintenance components simplify servicing, while an intuitive 10" color touchscreen controller provides integrated graphing and performance data at a glance.
Additionally, all units come equipped with AirLinx remote monitoring capabilities, offering real-time notifications for service alerts, temperature monitoring and more.
"We have been in the oil free compressed air business for a long time-nearly 50 years-so we have a lot of experience building reliable and durable solutions in this space," said Bob Lord, Senior Product Manager at Hitachi Global Air Power. "Class 0 oil-free air is critical for industries like food and beverage manufacturing and robotics, where contamination must be avoided at all costs. We are thrilled to add to our reputation as a market leader in oil-free compressed air solutions with this exciting expansion."
In tandem with the launch of the expanded DS Series, Hitachi Global Air Power also announced the introduction of SRF DS high-performance petroleum-based synthetic fluid. This high-viscosity lubricant is specifically designed for use in oil-free rotary screw gear boxes; it helps improve compressor efficiency and lasts up to 8,000 hours.
