The model is an extension of the Centac C1000 product line.

Providing 100% clean, oil-free air, the C800 has been certified as ISO 8573-1 Class 0, and is designed to minimise downtime and lower the total cost of ownership.

The Centac C800 reduces energy use by up to 6% at full load. Inlet guide vanes are standard on the C800 delivering up to 10% additional energy savings at partial load.

The compressor, with a one-piece removable inducer, in-place rodable coolers, bull gear inspection ports, and open cooler casing, which offer increased access to critical components, claims to make preventative service and maintenance tasks easier.

CAPS said the Web-enabled Xe-Series controller would boost productivity and let plant and operations managers to remotely access and adjust the system from virtually anywhere.

“It presents real-time monitoring and trending of critical components, making it easy to predict maintenance needs and correct operating parameters from Web-enabled smartphones, tablets and personal computers,” the company said

The Centac C800 is exclusively available in Australia from CAPS.
