Built to Run. Rated to Prove It.

Continuous-duty air compression for plant floors, hospital networks, and OEM skid packages. 87,000-hour MTBF. Field-verified. No fine print.

0hrs MTBF

Mean time between failure across 2,400 field units over a 14-year service record. The ISO 1217 industry benchmark sits at 52,000 hours. Our units run 67% longer between scheduled interventions — a direct reduction in unplanned downtime costs averaging $4,200 per incident for mid-size plants.

0.0kW / 100 CFM

Specific energy at 7 bar. Measured. Not estimated.

At 7 bar rated pressure, the CF-Series draws 4.2 kW per 100 CFM of free air delivery. The ISO 1217 Annex C market average across oil-injected rotary screw units sits at 5.8 kW. Across a typical 8,000-hour operating year, that gap returns $21,400 in electricity costs at $0.135/kWh — before maintenance savings.

Thermal imaging across 180 production units confirms uniform heat distribution. No hot-spot signatures above 78°C at ambient 40°C. Oil temperature stability ±3°C across the full load range.

340+OEM installs

Bolts into your skid package. No redesign required.

340 OEM installations across packaging machinery, medical gas systems, and industrial automation skids. The CF-Series was designed from the frame up to integrate — not to be integrated around. Every external interface is documented to IEC 60034 standards with 3D CAD files available on request.

Drop-in Skid Compatibility

Standard mounting centers match PNEUROP 6611 skid templates. No custom adapter plates. If your skid was designed for a major OEM, the CF-Series bolts in.

Native Protocol Support

Modbus RTU ships standard. CANopen, PROFIBUS-DP, and EtherNet/IP available as factory-installed modules. No third-party gateway required for PLC integration.

Staged-Delivery Program

For OEM integrators building to schedule: we hold finished units in temperature-controlled storage up to 90 days, releasing against your production call-off. No carrying cost, no line stoppages.

Saved over 5 years versus the market average. Before you negotiate price.

Capital cost is one line in a capex justification. The other four years of energy and maintenance costs are where the real decision lives. The CF-Series carries a higher list price than two of the five major OEM alternatives — and a lower 5-year TCO than all of them.
