CHARGER 55 Mine Spec Engine Rotary Screw Air Compressor: Belt Drive, 10-13HP, 1000LPM at 7 Bar

Peerless are proud to announce a range of engine-powered Rotary Screw Compressors, designed and built to meet the toughest Australian conditions. With years of experience in screw compressors, we have developed a high-performance, mine-spec variant of our trusted Charger 55 Diesel Screw Compressor.

Built and manufactured in Australia, this unit is engineered for reliability and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments. Yanmar and Honda engines, renowned for their quality, power this compressor, each backed by a comprehensive three-year warranty and compliant with Australia's strict emission standards. The Peerless-designed Air End ensures ultimate air efficiency, low noise levels, and high-quality standards.

The Charger 55 Mine Spec model features a key start as standard, a single 1/2" outlet, and a stainless-steel pressure gauge conveniently positioned for easy access, whether mounted on a Ute or truck.

For added convenience, an optional diesel lift pump can be fitted, allowing the unit to draw fuel directly from your vehicle's fuel tank. This eliminates the need for manual refueling—simply keep your truck or Ute topped up with fuel. The Yanmar L100 engine consumes only 1.65L per hour while idling and 2.2L per hour when under load, making it a highly efficient choice for heavy-duty operations.

The rugged and compact skid-mounted design makes this one of Australia's most space-efficient rotary screw compressors in its class. Protective shields help prevent damage to critical components, while the unit's design ensures ease of maintenance, with all filters easily accessible for servicing.

Remote start with emergency stop functionality can be installed to meet specific onsite requirements, providing additional safety and convenience.

• V-Belts: Inspect for wear and maintain proper tension to ensure efficient operation.

• Ventilation: Adequate airflow is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain efficiency.
