An extended range of budget-friendly Conquest compressors has been launched by Compressed Air and Power Solutions (CAPS) Australia, the leading Australian-owned supplier of compressors and generators.
“CAPS identified a need in the market for good quality compressors at a reasonable price,” John Strudwick, manager of national business development wholesale products for CAPS, said: “Development of the range was price-driven in order to come up with economic units that performed as well as the big, branded machines.”
The available range includes versions with single-phase electric motors up to three horsepower and three-phase motors of 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 horsepower (hp). Petrol motor compressors range between 5.5 and 2hp, along with a 14hp diesel model.
The fuel driven compressors are designed for use in truck-mounted applications, or in remote areas where electricity is not available.
According to Strudwick, the extended range also includes one model with a unique vertical design which was developed for people who use air tools, but with only access to single-phase power. “This is ideal for smaller businesses such as mechanics, panel beaters or farms that have to use impact tools but don’t have three-phase power available,” he said.
CAPS adds the different sizes of petrol and diesel engines to the air receiver and compressor assembly, and carries out any custom modification. The units are then sent directly to customers or to distributors.
“The Conquest range is leaner in price, greener for the environment and has unique features,” Strudwick said.
