Duplex Air Compressors:
Our Duplex series air compressors are Up to “70 CFM” on single-phase electricity, plus the security of a back-up. A Castair duplex air compressor is a type of two-stage air compressor. However, unlike most standard two-stage air compressors, a duplex option has two same-sized pumps and motors. Duplex compressors are a unique configuration that can operate one compressor at a time, alternating automatically between the two compressors, or when required, operate together to provide double the air delivered on a single unit. Duplex air compressors are used for a variety of applications; light manufacturing, automotive, climate control applications.
Why buy a Castair Duplex air compressor?
• Redundancy – if one pump/motor set fails or need repair, the other pump/motor can continue to operate. The air flow will be cut in half, but it can keep your business in operation.
• Electrical Limitations – What alternative is there when you need a 10 or 15 HP compressor, but three phase electrical service is not available, or you don’t want to spend the money on electric, or is too expensive to bring into you facility. Then a duplex compressor with single phase pump/motors can be installed.
• Varying Air Usage – If you do not need all of the air flow, CFM, of a 10 HP compressor except when you use your plasma cutter, big air grinder, sand blaster, CNC machine, etc. Only one pump/motor set will operate when the demand is lower, but both sets will run when a high demand is needed.
We are family owned and operated since 1991. As the name “CASTAIR” implies, our pumps are made of “cast iron” not aluminum. Our pumps are oil-lubricated, not oil-less and run at very slow RPMs making them quiet and extended service life.
