VERTICUS®
The days of “breadbox” designed compressor packages are over! Step up to the BAUER VERTICUS®. The updated sound attenuated cabinet is equipped with an operations panel which is unique, aesthetically pleasing, horizontally hinged, and gas shock supported; this ensures direct and easy access to the drive belts. Vertically hinged and lift-off side maintenance access doors (incorporating fast pin technology) make it a snap to remove the doors – no hand tools are required! The rear panel incorporates integral handles and a tabbed lift off design. The front vertically hinged access door is affixed with a hex keyed latch to eliminate accidental openings of the door while the system is operating. Sound attenuation has been incorporated on every possible panel to provide a nice and quiet operating level of approximately 72 dB (within one-meter). One package size accommodates BAUER high pressure air-cooled compressors from 5 to 20 HP motors. Our new, larger, 7” HMI enhances monitoring the system functions.
