Vector 1000 Series medium pressure air compressors are designed and built to service applicationswhere pressures from 250 – 1000 PSIG are required.

These compressors are therefore ideal for pressure testing and engine starting applications.

By storing compressed air at pressures of 300 – 1000 PSIG and then reducing the pressure at the airstarter, the size of the air receiver tank is greatly reduced. This is particularly critical in packagedgenerator and gas compressor sets, as well as marine applications where the availability of floor space islimited.

Our modular design makes it possible for us to find the optimum solution for each specific case, both froma technical and economical point of view.

Standard packages are available in both simplex or duplex configurations and prime movers includeelectric motor, gasoline or diesel engines, hydraulic motors and power take-offs.

Each compressor package is completelyassembled and tested under load to make sure itleaves our plant in perfect operating conditions.

Vector 1000 Series compressors are designed togive more air per horsepower, with minimummaintenance and to operate quietly and reliablyyear in and year out.

VECTOR 1000 SERIES AIR COMPRESSORS OFFER UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE ANDLONG-TERM VALUE … THE LOGICAL CHOICE WHEN THERE’S NO TIME FOR DOWNTIME

DURABLE CAST IRON CONSTRUCTION – provides greater frame rigidity and reduced noise level. No aluminumcylinders with liners – just 100% cast iron construction for the greatest frame strength and longest life.

LOW ROTATIONAL SPEEDS – result in reduced valve cycles, increased

ring and bearing life, and lower noise levels.

CYLINDERS – individual solid cast iron cylinders are bolted to the crankcase

rather than integrally cast to the crankcase and can be replaced if damaged.

They are precision honed to reduce oil carryover and have radial cooling finsto efficiently remove the heat of compression.

BALANCED V-TYPE CYLINDER ARRANGEMENT – offers improved

cylinder and valve cooling and smoother operation.

ONE-PIECE CONNECTING RODS – overhung crankshaft design, makes

possible solid-end connecting rods. There are no connecting rod caps, bolts

and nuts to come loose, they never need adjustment or tightening and there

is no possibility that the rod cap bolts can be over torqued.

CENTRIFUGAL TYPE STARTING UNLOADER – This integral mechanical starting device vents air from the

cylinders every time the compressor stops, regardless of the cause of shutdown.

UNIQUE OVERHUNG CRANKSHAFT DESIGN – Vector’s unique overhung crankshaft is fully supported on theflywheel end by two heavy-duty ball bearings running on a replaceable crank pin bushing. If a bearing fails, the

crankshaft is not damaged. A crankcase cover plate on the non-drive end can be quickly removed to enable easy

internal inspection.

NON-ROTATING CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL SLEEVE – the crankshaft throw doesn’t have any wearing area, ratherall wear is on the precision ground and hardened journal sleeve that is easily replaced in the field.

MULTI-FINNED TUBE TYPE INTERCOOLERS – these coolers are located directly in the flywheel air blast and aredesigned to lower the air temperature to each stage of compression for extended valve life.

HEAVY DUTY THREADED INLET AIR FILTER/SILENCER – The inlet filter/silencer provided is connected to the

piping using standard NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections, rather than being a built-in part of the cylinder head,as with some competitive machines.

This allows the inlet filter to be easily remote mounted and piped from outside of the building for use in explosionproof environments where drawing air from inside the building is not permitted.

OIL FILLER PLUG IS LOCATED AT THE SAME ELEVATION AS THE REQUIRED OIL LEVEL – rather than high

on the crankcase. This prevents accidental overfilling of the compressor, which results in excessive oil carryover intothe piping system.

INLET AND DISCHARGE PIPING IS CONNECTED TO THE CYLINDER, NOT THE CYLINDER HEAD – Inlet-

discharge connections are made on the cylinders, not the cylinder head. This configuration permits very easy valve

inspection, because piping does not have to be removed to access the valves.

FULL RANGE OF ELECTRICAL CLASSIFICATIONS – Vector compressor packages are available for unclassified,

Class 1 – Division 2 and Class 1 – Division 1 explosion proof areas.
