Reciprocating Air Compressors PetStar 4


When unsurpassed performance and reliability are required, the PETStar-4 line of 4-Stage Reciprocating Air Compressors answers the challenge. Robustly designed and configured in a horizontally opposed cylinder configuration, the PETStar-4 arrangement virtually eliminates vibration with a minimal foundation requirement. By utilizing four stages of compression, the PETStar-4 is capable of providing unsurpassed compressor efficiency.

Lower stage compression ratios reduce the cylinder operating temperatures and extend the life of valves, rings and packing. To simplify installation, all PETStar-4 units feature a heavy duty welded steel sub base and are available with a matching air treatment component package. Whether you require a compressor for in-line molding or capacity to support a large production operation, there is a PETStar-4 package to meet your needs.
