Chicago Pneumatic has launched a major upgrade of its diesel-powered portable compressor range for the Indian market, with the introduction of 12 new models to give an expanded range.
“Innovative features such as new engine/element combinations provide increased efficiency and productivity, with additional features offering enhanced safety and impressive reductions in unit footprints, fuel/oil consumption and overall cost of ownership,” says the company.
Designed and manufactured in Pune, India, the Chicago Pneumatic range of single axle and skid-mounted or truck-portable, oil-injected, rotary twin screw compressors has been expanded to meet the needs of Indian customers in today’s market.
Three of the original 100psi and one of the 125 psi single axle-mounted compressors are replaced by the CPS 250, CPS 325, CPS 400 and CPS 325-125 units, machines designed with a simple controller and powered by a four-cylinder Ashok Leyland/ W04D diesel engine to produce compressed air outputs of 250cfm (425m³/hour), 300cfm (510m³/ hour), 380cfm (645.6m³/hour) and 300cfm/125 psi respectively.
In addition, a new range of single-stage, oil-injected, twins-crew compressors has been introduced: the CPS 450-200, CPS 500-175, CPS 550-150 and CPS 650 models. The compressor element of these higher pressure machines, that operate between 100-200 psi, is directly and flexibly coupled to a state-of-the-art, water-cooled Ashok Leyland/AL 6DTi engine.
To complete the range, the latest CPS 450 compressor together with two other new units, the CPS 425-125 and the CPS 400-150, are introduced.
Completing the upgrade programme, at the top of the high pressure range of two-stage, oil-injected, twin screw element machines, are three Cummins-powered units: the existing 305psi CPS 1100-300, providing 1,100cfm (1,869m³/hour), and two new additions, the CPS 1000-275 and the CPS 1200- 330, operating at 275 and 330psi respectively.
In India, Chicago Pneumatic operates a dedicated aftermarket operation to support its distribution channels, and it says the new product introductions are part of its mission to continue to build on its long-term history in India.
