The BAC Series Breathing Air Compressors provide a portable, trailer mounted air source for breathing quality air. The direct drive, diesel compressors are available in 2 sizes – 4 and 8 men. A high-pressure backup system automatically switches over and audible and visual alarms are activated in the event of compressor failure ensuring that the breathing air supply to the users is uninterrupted.

The users are supplied with cooled, filtered air which is fed through a removable control panel. This can be positioned remotely from the compressor, uniquely serving as a means to observe the status of the compressor and air supplied to users at the point of entry; and additionally controls entry to the area where the breathing apparatus is being used. Food grade oil is used on the compressor to ensure that in the unlikely event of oil carry over, the pneumatic system is not severely contaminated. The raised air intake ensures the best possible air is supplied to the compressor and a Chalwyn valve and spark arrestor are fitted as standard to comply with requirements for use on petrochemical installations.
