If fuel savings is a priority for you or you have a standalone application, and you need a powerful source of air, VMAC manufactures a 60 CFM rotary screw Diesel Driven Air Compressor called RAPTAIR60.

Compact: VMAC engineers all components to fit into a package as small as possible.
Lightweight: Components are engineered and manufactured to be as lightweight as possible for mobile applications.
Powerful: Rated for up to 60 CFM and 150 PSI.
Air on demand: Produces as much air as your tool requires.
Safe and easy to operate: Push button controls.

Self-contained: When ordered with optional 7 gallon fuel tank. Can also be ordered with option Electronic Fuel Priming Pump.
Digital Display Box: Displays system messages. Can be remote mounted. Act as an interface to make system adjustments.
Throttle Control: Idles up when air is used and idles down when air is not used. This reduces fuel costs.
System Unload: When you don’t use air, the system unloads. This reduces load compressor housing and on the engine, which extends component life.
