Polar Air Silent Air Industrial 7.5HP 3CYL Two Stage 1Ph 26CFM 80 Gallon Air Compressor w/isolator pads – Splash Lube Pump

Operation

Splash lubrication systems work by using rod dippers that pass through the oil in the crankcase when the pistons are moving and splash the oil up onto the cylinders and pistons to lubricate them. Although this method is effective, it’s not precise. Parts of the pump may not be receiving enough oil. Where there is not enough oil, wear between critical components can become a costly issue… on the other hand too much oil can also be in issue as well.

Viscosity

Viscosity of the oil becomes important with splash method as well, if the oil is not thick enough it will not cling to the dippers as needed. So, although effective it is becoming an outdated method.

History

Traditional splash lubrication systems have been around since the first air compressor was produced.

Noise Reduction

Our Patented Silent Air system works by dissipating compressor intake noise through a series of noise cancellation plates, reducing DBA ratings by up to 50%. Silent air compressors operate at a normal conversation level in comparison to traditional compressors that operate at the level of a police siren.

Air Filtration

This low-profile system not only makes the compressor quieter but also adds four levels of air filtration.

Silent Air Technology

• Significantly lowers the risk of hearing damage
• Decrease in employee turnover
• Enhances workplace satisfaction
