Sullair Champion air compressors

Sullair Australia has relaunched its range of Champion compressors. With good performance in tough conditions, the Champion family - comprising the CSA and the VOC (variable output control) line-ups - ranges from 18 to 250 kW. With a suitably sized compressor for every application, the streamlining of the range simplifies the selection process, supplying the right product at the right place.

As part of the relaunch, the company has incorporated the most popular compressor options into a standard package for each model. It has retained the less-common preferences as selectable options in order to match the products to the precise demands of each application. The move to direct drive for the latest models is said to reduce transmission losses, improve reliability and simplify maintenance.

The CSA series is available from 18 to 37 kW and the VOC series from 45 to 250 kW. A variable speed drive (VSD) is available for each of the 13 models across the range. The VSD technology allows the air output to be electronically turned down by as much as 70% of the rated air output for each compressor, while the VOC air end enables a further mechanical turn down up to 50%. When combined, a VOC/VSD compressor can regulate the output air anywhere between 100% of its rated output right down to 15%, providing an energy-efficient compressed-air solution for industries that experience variable air demands.

The compressors are designed to meet the tough extremes of climate commonly experienced across Australia. This makes them suitable for any application where continuous operation in a hostile environment is normal, such as mining and the oil/gas industries, as well as for critical applications where downtime can have high consequences on production.
