SPEEDAIRE 6EWK5 Compressor/generator 13hp 30gal 15.7cfm

Speedaire 6EWK5 compressor / generator provides a dual-purpose solution, offering compressed air for powering pneumatic tools and a generator for supplying electricity to job site equipment. It is ideal for construction, agriculture and emergency response scenarios where access to power sources may be limited. The compressor aids in running air-powered tools like nail guns and pneumatic drills, enhancing efficiency on-site.

Features:

• This Speedaire compressor / generator unit operates using a single engine that drives two primary components: the compressor and the generator.
• The compressor compresses atmospheric air into a storage tank, where it is stored at high pressure for powering pneumatic tools.
• Meanwhile, the generator produces electrical power as the engine drives its alternator, which converts mechanical energy into electricity.
• This combination allows the unit to provide both compressed air and electricity simultaneously or independently, making it versatile for construction sites and remote locations.
• The engine runs on gasoline, has a low oil shutdown feature for protection, and is manually started with a recoil starter.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between 1 and 2-stage air compressors?

A. The basic difference between a 1-stage and 2-stage air compressor is the number of times the air gets compressed. Air is compressed once in a 1-stage compressor, while it is compressed twice (for doubling the pressure) in a 2-stage compressor.

Q. Which is a better, one-stage or two-stage air compressor?

A. Two-stage air compressors deliver more airflow and are more efficient than their one-stage counterparts.

Q. How do air compressors fill up?

A. When you use a power tool, the tank's pressure drops as the compressed air travels through the hose to your tool. The compressor will restart and fill the tank when the pressure in the tank falls too low.
