This is not a compressor -- it is a storage tank that connects to your current system and substantially increases your available air volume.

Adding a 240-gallon receiver solves that problem without replacing functioning compressor hardware. This is also the correct approach when adding a new service bay to an existing air system: expand storage at the main header rather than installing a second compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e240-gallon capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Air's largest standard horizontal receiver -- substantial buffer volume for high-demand shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200 PSI ASME rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pressure vessel constructed and stamped to ASME code; the 200 PSI rating gives adequate headroom above standard shop operating pressures of 90-175 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorizontal orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\" x 84\" footprint -- designed for floor installation in a compressor room or along a wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual top plate options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available with either 17\" x 44\" or 17\" x 85\" top plate to match your plumbing layout and manifold requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-cast-iron construction where applicable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Air builds to their standard of durability; this is not a thin-wall import tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdd-on design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to an existing compressor system via standard pipe connections -- expands storage without replacing current equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain provisions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottom drain connection for routine moisture purging -- essential for tank longevity and air quality in humid shop environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e240 Gallon Tank Specifications (240H200 \/ 240HD200)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 PSI (ASME coded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\" diameter x 84\" length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Plate Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17\" x 44\" or 17\" x 85\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700-790 lbs (empty)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASME pressure vessel code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does \"Tank Adder\" Mean\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tank adder is a receiver tank that connects to your existing compressor system to increase total storage volume. Your compressor continues to run as the air source. The additional tank acts as a buffer -- the compressor fills both tanks, and your air tools draw from the combined volume. The practical effects are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger run times between compressor cycles -- the motor runs less frequently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess pressure drop during peak demand -- you have more stored volume to draw from before the compressor needs to top it off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter sustained flow for high-CFM applications like spray booths and blast cabinets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced wear on the compressor motor and pump from fewer start-stop cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank adder approach makes sense when your compressor has adequate CFM output but insufficient storage. If your compressor is undersized in CFM for the tools you are running, adding storage volume helps but does not fix the root problem -- call us and we will help you diagnose which issue you actually have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen Does a Shop Need a 240-Gallon Tank Adder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the right solution when:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpray booth operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Body shops running HVLP guns need sustained CFM.
