versions of its tyre-service vehicle compressors. Both are powered by the new Honda GX240 6kW (8hp) fourstroke OHV engine and are said to achieve greater efficiency than their 5.2kW (7hp) and 7.5kW (10hp) predecessors.
The latest version of the HPC SH15GPSR, which previously had a 5.2kW engine, has considerably greater power from the more efficient 6kW engine, so achieves its working pressure more quickly and maintains it more effectively. The SH15GPSR provides 0.3m3/minute (10.3 cfm) delivered air at 690krn/m2 (100 psi) via a 0.1m3 (41t3) receiver and will operate a 19mm (3/41n) nut runner or provide sufficient compressed air for fast tyre inflation.
The new HPC SII26GPSR
provides 0.5m3iminute at 690kN/m2 (18.6 cfin) (100 psi) and, like its predecessor, is capable of operating a 25.4mm (lin) nut runner. The much improved performance of the new engine makes it possible for the SH26GPSR to achieve output comparable to that of the 7.5kW engine with substantially greater fuel economy, lighter weight and more compact dimensions. The SI-126GPSH is particularly suitable for tyre service vehicles dealing with the repair and maintenance of tyres on large earth-moving equipment.
Both compressors have a maximum working pressure of 1,035kN/m2 (150 psi) and are available with either recoil or electric start, the electric start versions also having a recoil start facility.
