Wilkinson Star Limited, the Worsley, Manchester based industrial equipment supplier and sole UK representative for Bologna based designer and manufacturer of air compressors, FIAC Air Compressors S.p.A has launched the SCS compressor system, a new silent, belt driven, piston air compressor.

The SCS range of air compressors are designed as a fixed installation for use in garage, agricultural and workshop environments and are available in either a model SCS 500 4HP 3kW with a 16CFM Displacement, or model SCS 600 5.5HP 4kW with a 22CFM Displacement.

Features of both versions include a 270 litre capacity air receiver, 2-stage pump with maximum 10 bar working pressure, incorporated in a sound dampening enclosure producing noise levels as low as 68/69dB(A).Utilising proven piston technology with high performance at low running speeds, the machines operate at low temperature internally and at the air outlet.

Powered by a 3 phase 400V 50Hz S1 duty electric motor, both versions are supplied with simple on/off automatic pressure switch control, complete with overload protection, for ease of use by the operator.
