The C3 pump is Cast Air's 15 HP two-stage industrial workhorse — a W3-configuration cast iron pump weighing 485 lbs, producing approximately 62 CFM at 0 PSI and 50 CFM at 175 PSI, running at 795 RPM. This is the compressor for high-demand shops: body shops with spray booths, tire and alignment shops running multiple lifts, or any facility where air demand stays high throughout the shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AOC3-460 bundle covers aftercooling, automatic drains, hour metering, dual control, intake silencing, and vibration isolation — all factory-installed and matched to C3 output specs.

Cools compressed air from pump discharge temperature (typically 280-350°F) toward ambient, achieving approximately 65% water vapor reduction. Cooler, drier air means less work for your refrigerated dryer, less condensate in your lines, and longer tool life. Max operating pressure 250 PSIG, max inlet temperature 350°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAutomatic Drain System\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir-Operated Auto Drain (#ADVSM):\u003c\/strong\u003e Discharge-pressure-operated drain valve with installation kit.

A 15 HP industrial compressor running production shifts needs maintenance on a defined schedule — not when something breaks. Oil changes, belt tension, valve inspection, and head bolt torque checks all have hour-based intervals. This meter tracks them accurately.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDual Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Control (#DC3):\u003c\/strong\u003e Selectable start\/stop or constant-speed load\/unload operation. The C3 at 15 HP benefits significantly from constant-speed unloading during high-demand production hours — fewer motor starts, cooler motor windings, extended starter and motor life.

At 50 CFM at 175 PSI, the C3 can supply 5-8 simultaneous air tools at typical shop pressures, depending on tool demand. Common applications: body shops with a 3-stage spray booth, mid-size manufacturing, commercial tire shops with multiple air-operated equipment, and general industrial facilities with sustained air demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 460V three-phase requirement is non-negotiable — confirm your electrical service before ordering.
