Underhood Compressor for Mining-certified Jeep
VMAC announced the latest application
for its Underhood air compressor system:
It is now available on the mining certified
Jeep J8 (see item above). The air compressor is rated for up to 70 cfm and 175
psi. According to the company, the new
compressor is application engineered for
the J8. Rather than mounting the air-oil
separator tank to the frame rail, where it
normally resides on other applications, it
is mounted in the box and takes up minimal space. The small tank measures 34.7
in. (88.1 cm) in length by 6 in. (15.2
cm). The rotary-screw, belt-driven, 100%
duty cycle, oil-injected compressor unit
weighs about 150 lb wet. Safety features
include vehicle drive disable circuit on
throttle control, park brake safety shut-off
on control box, electric clutch on compressor and over-temperature shutdown.
