Porter Cable Compressors

!±8± Porter Cable Compressors

Porter-Cable compressors are compressors artificial by Porter Cable Corporation. Although Porter-Cable compressors are mostly used for homes/small businesses, the maker provides a large range of compressors, each one with its very own characteristics.

First of all, Porter-Cable compressors furnish horsepower fluctuating from 0.8Hp up to 7.5Hp. The majority of Porter-Cable compressors furnish 1 to 2Hp.

Regarding the external characteristics of Porter-Cable compressors, they all come with a built-in red tank, and they are equipped with wheels or extra frames in order to supply better mobility solutions. The smallest compressors do not occupy more volume than a mini-table does, while the bigger ones are of the same size as a normal table or a medium-sized refrigerator.

Another characteristic among the varied Porter-Cable compressors that has great impact on the final size of the compressor is tank size, which is measured in gallons. The smallest tank size is four gallons (~15.4 liters), while the largest is 80 gallons (~302.9 liters). There are three major categories of tank sizes. The first one is 4 to 6 gallons (~15.4 to 22.72 liters), the second is 15 to 20 gallons (~56.79 to 75.72 liters) and the third is 60 to 80 gallons (~227.17 to 302.9 liters).

An important distinguishing characteristic of Porter-Cable compressors is either they are oil-lubricated or oil-free. Although most Porter-Cable compressors are oil-free, the ones with the top capacity and horsepower are not. To be specific, all compressors that have a capacity greater than 60 gallons are oil-lubricated. Smaller tank capacity compressors come in both oil-lubricated and oil-free models.

Finally, the compressors come with appropriate equipment such as mobility kits, Asme protection valves, air regulators and gauges, execution manuals, frames (for increased mobility), and oil.
