AUTO CASCADE
The automatic cascade system utilizes
our patent pending manifold block
with integral valve bodies. Couple this
with a commercially available PLC con-
troller and you have the simplest cas-
cade system – easy installation and
effortless operation.
CONTAINMENT FILL STATIONS
BAUER offers only independently test-
ed containment fill stations which
were found to protect the operator
from overpressure and fragmentation
per NFPA 1901. Formed plate steel and
fewer weldments help maintain struc-
tural integrity while at the same time
reducing size and weight. Our
ergonomic “Easy Load” door design
allows the operator to open and close
the door with less than 18 lbs. of force
without hyper-extended hand and
wrist movements.
AIR STORAGE
BAUER high pressure air storage sys-
tems meet the code requirements of
either the Department of
Transportation or the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers. DOT and
ASME storage cylinders and storage
systems are offered for 5000 and 6000
psig applications. Optional mounting

Grade E, and all other recognized stan-
dards for breathing air.
SECURUS II
SECURUS II ensures maximum utiliza-
tion of the air processing cartridges
because the moisture sensor is embed-
ded directly in the molecular sieve. The
last cartridge in the air processing sys-
tem. SECURUS II is powered from the

QUALITY
BAUER, factory original replacement
parts are manufactured to technical
specifications unequaled in the high
pressure compressor industry. The rigid
quality standards followed within ISO
9001:2008 quality processes, coupled
with uncompromising adherence to
factory material composition and spec-
ifications, assures you confidence that
cannot be duplicated by substandard
aftermarket parts manufacturing.
GASKETS AND SEALS
You want your unit to keep the origi-
nal quality that was manufactured
when it was factory new. Why install
material of unknown origin or materi-
al. Differences in material composition
and quality even in a gasket or seal can
mean costly repairs to more expensive
parts. Insist on factory original parts.
Your compressor will give you uncom-
promising performance with quality
parts.
LUBRICANTS
The performance of your compressor
depends on basic maintenance. The
lubricant provided with your compres-
sor has been chosen and tested by us
to meet or exceed all industry stan-
dards. Using these lubricants assures
peak performance of your unit with
minimal piston, cylinder and valve
wear.

We have a quality lubricant appropri-
ate for each compressed air and gas

PURIFICATION
Confidence should be your touchstone
when buying purification or replace-
ment cartridges for you compressor.
Leading technology coupled with
stringent quality control produces a
product unparallel and unsurpassed.
Our PURE AIR clean room, superior
materials and vacuum packaging
assures you the security you deserve.
AIR INTAKE FILTERS
The air compressed by your unit pass-
es through many mechanical parts on
its way to your final applications. Why
not be confident that the air you
process internally is clean from the
onset. Factory original air intake ele-
ments strain particulates before they
reach the first stage of your compres-
sor. Don’t settle for substandard ele-
ments that allow abrasive particles
inside your compressor. See our com-
plete line of superior inlet cartridges.
FILL HOSE AND ASSEMBLIES

work together with the lube to afford
you hours of protection and operation.
Be certain that periodic inspection of
these critical parts are on your check-
