Sullair is a Michigan-based engineering company with a proud legacy of great success as a pioneer in air compression technology. It has a lot of experience serving customers across the globe. The company has manufacturing facilities in the United States, China, and India. It is an ISO 9001 certified company with has high standards in delivering quality and reliability in manufacturing. Sullair Air Compressor has been a leading name in air compressors for more than 50 years and first to execute successfully the rotary screw technology in their compressors.
Sullair 185 is a type of portable rotary screw compressor. They are more efficient and perform better than traditional piston type compressors where high volume with a steady flow is required. These portable air compressors are often used for all-weather medium and small scale industrial applications. One of the most common uses is for powering high-power pneumatic tools.
The Sullair air compressor works based on a continuous rotary sweeping motion. This enables the unit to perform with almost no pulsation or flow surge. It uses two mechanical helical screws, also known as rotors, to compress the gas. It features an oil flooded system with an integrated leak-free design.
From a layman’s perspective, the air is compressed as it passes between the threads of the helical screws. The actual science behind the compression is much more interesting. It is a combination of principles of fluid mechanics. For the actual user, this means little to nothing, but these are at the heart of the working principle of air compression technology. More specifically, it is the principle of compressible flow or gas dynamics, which is only a subset of fluid mechanics. Compressible flow concerns itself with the changes in fluid density, in effect covering everything from rocket engines to shower heads.
The Sullair air compressor is powered by a turbo-charged tier 4 emission compliant 111 CID Kubota diesel engine that outputs 49 bhp of power at an operating rpm of 2720. It is this engine that allows the Sullair 185 to be as efficient as it is. The rated efficiency is 10.2 gallons per hour when operating at 100% capacity. With all this top tier technology, the Sullair 185 is a true workhorse that will serve you well for several years.
