Note: All Models

# Operating Pressure: 100 psi to 175 psi
# Motor Class: Class F
# Type: Direct Driven
*M series is Belt Driven.

COMPRESSOR:

Air ends used on "D" series machines are direct-drive rotary screw units designed in-
house, with all components machined on the best CNC equipment and inspected with
 computerized coordinate measuring machines.
We use Timken bearings, designed for 60 HP, but applied only to 50 HP. 5-year
warranty. These units are beefy and big - 28% larger displacement than one major
competitor* which means we're running that much slower for any given air delivery, and
without belts or gears!
VFD (VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE):

Wide power range for 200V, 230V, 460V and 575V.

Pressure transducer motor speed control, provided by pressure signal via our T1
microprocessor control.
Programmable digital outputs available.
Digital inputs from 2 pressure sensors, and a temperature sensor.
8 programmable parameter sets with S-curves, power off function, PID process
controller, electronic motor protection and internal timer.
Output frequencies up to 160 Hz with output voltage stabilization; switching frequencies
up to 16 kHz; output phase monitoring.
DC bus circuit connection and motor thermal sensor connection are provided.
All new Platinum and Platinum-Plus Warranties available.
Sullivan-Palatek has the highest standard in air compressor control featuring the “T1”
microprocessor on all Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) compressed air packages. The T1
has a customer friendly display with expanded descriptions of all the operating controls.
It has RS485 communication between the T1 and the VFD and displays all pertinent VFD
power consumption data at the T1 screen. It is the most comprehensive compressor
control indicator on the market.
The T1 will control your specific compressed air needs as the system requires, and will
conserve your power when the compressed air need is reduced.
ELECTRIC MOTOR:

We're using USA built Lincoln motors with 5-year warranty to match the air end. Expect
an import on other compressor brands - although one of our competitors recognizes the
value of Lincoln and charges you $200 extra if that's what you specify.
STARTER:

We use a premium USA built product designed to fit our specific spatial requirements,
and utilizing 115 volt controls.
Fused primary and secondary on the transformer. Motor leads direct-connected to
overloads for best system integrity.
Contactors are Amp rated, designed to meet, or exceed UL, NEMA, I.E.C., CSA and other
international standards.
Adjustable, bi-metallic, ambient compensated overloads, with single-phase protection.
Designed for 1 million electric operations - which is 12 starts per hour (one every 5
minutes) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for nearly 10 years!
DRIVE AND COUPLING:

Direct-mounted, direct-coupled, heavy duty. Best of all, no belts* to hassle with. Again,
a 5-year warranty. (* 5-7.5, 10 HP are belt driven).
AIR FILTER:

It's big- at least double what you need, but that makes for long intervals between
cleaning or replacing elements. If you operate in zero visibility and/or want to remove-
connectable intake on a locally mounted filter, opt for the Multi-Stage filter.
SEPARATOR TANK:

Here's the key to our "IN-LINE DESIGN": We've integrated the sump and separator into
the air-end without the attendant "performance-pilfering" preheat associated with units
inside the can. It's heavy, robust, simple, straight forward and easy to service.
COOLING SYSTEM:

The basic specs seem to say it all, but watch out for machines without a cold-start
cooler by-pass.
Refer to us for PALASYN 45, PALLUBE 32 or AFX IDEAL 32 Lubricoolants - all new
rotaries should be on synthetics, and these are the best of the best.
PALASYN 45 is a 4000 hour oil with the best water demulsiblity and hydrolytic stability
we could find. Has special additive strictly for our application. Excels in acidic
environments.
PALLUBE 32 is a specially formulated lubricant designed for long operational life.
AFX IDEAL 32 - It's "ideal", with a base fluid no one else offers at this time (probably
because it's more expensive than what is currently popular)
Super-special additive, "VAGENIUM". A better lubricant and coolant than silicone, and
takes heat better and longer than all the rest. Separates well from water (and from
air!). Seems to have the widest range of compatibility. Very low pourpoint, plus very
high vapor pressure and high flash point. If you forget and leave it in too many years, it
won't turn to varnish, but it will depart in a gaseous form and give off an olfactory
warning.
These are not standard lubricants / coolants / oils: they're the best. Not cheap, but will
save money in the long run.
AIR DELIVERY CONTROLS:

At no-load we blow-down to 40psi with the inlet valve shut. Full modulation means
smooth control, plus the ability to operate at higher pressure, since the control "sneaks
up" on the maximum unload setting throttling the compressor to shave off kilowatts as
you approach the unload or high cut-out pressure setting. Less wear and tear for
individual machine applications. To give you less than you are used to expecting in an
air compressor - less trouble, less life-cycle operating expense.
INSTRUMENTATION:

At a glance, you can see the sump pressure, discharge temperature, how long it's
operated, and how much lubricant is in the sump. These are the essentials for ease of
trouble-shooting and for scheduling routine maintenance.
MOUNTING:

Base-mounted - standard.
Elevated mounting stand - easy maintenance.
A variety of tank mounted options available.
