WHY CHOOSE THE AIRMAN PDS400LC-5B5?
1. 400 CFM AIR DELIVERY – HIGH-PERFORMANCE INDUSTRIAL COMPRESSOR
Delivering approximately 400 CFM (11.3 m³/min) at 100 PSI working pressure, the Airman PDS400LC-5B5 provides the airflow required for demanding industrial applications.
Ideal for:
- Wet abrasive blasting and dustless blasting
- Conventional dry abrasive blasting
- Industrial surface preparation
- Rust and corrosion removal
- Coating removal and maintenance
- Structural steel refurbishment
- Construction and infrastructure projects
- Industrial plant maintenance
- Heavy-duty pneumatic tools and equipment
The higher air delivery capacity makes it an excellent choice for blasting contractors requiring greater airflow than smaller 185 CFM or 265 CFM compressor configurations.
Actual blasting performance depends on nozzle size, operating pressure, hose configuration and equipment requirements.
2. BUILT-IN AFTERCOOLER – IMPROVED COMPRESSED AIR MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
The Airman PDS400LC-5B5 features an integrated compressed air aftercooler designed to reduce compressed air discharge temperature.
Cooling the compressed air encourages water vapour to condense, allowing moisture to be removed through suitable downstream separation and drainage equipment.
Key benefits:
- Cooler compressed air delivery
- Reduced moisture loading on downstream equipment
- Improved moisture management for abrasive blasting systems
- Reduced likelihood of moisture-related abrasive flow problems
- Improved reliability of connected pneumatic equipment
- Practical solution for demanding industrial applications
Particularly useful for abrasive blasting contractors operating in humid environments or requiring consistent compressed air delivery.
3. LEAK-GUARD BUNDED BASE – ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
One of the standout features of the PDS400LC-5B5 is Airman's innovative Leak-Guard design.
The integrated bunded base is designed to help contain accidental fuel, engine oil or coolant leaks within the compressor frame, reducing the risk of fluids escaping onto the surrounding ground.
Key advantages:
- Integrated bunded containment design
- Helps reduce environmental contamination risks
- Supports cleaner worksite management
- Practical for industrial and construction environments
- Suitable for contractors working under demanding site operating requirements
Leak-Guard is a containment feature and does not eliminate the need for routine inspections, maintenance or appropriate spill management.
4. POWERFUL KUBOTA DIESEL ENGINE
Powered by the reliable Kubota V3800DI-TI-E2B diesel engine, the Airman PDS400LC-5B5 delivers dependable power for demanding compressed air applications.
Engine highlights:
- Kubota diesel engine
- 75.2 kW rated engine output
- Direct-injection diesel technology
- Turbocharged and intercooled design
- Reliable operation for industrial applications
- Designed for extended operating periods
An excellent compressor option for businesses requiring dependable air delivery in challenging operating conditions.
5. HEAVY-DUTY JAPANESE MANUFACTURED BOX DESIGN
The PDS400LC-5B5 features a robust enclosed box-type configuration engineered for durability, workplace practicality and ease of maintenance.
Key features:
- Quality Japanese manufacturing
- Heavy-duty protective enclosure
- Practical control panel
- Easy-access service compartments
- Robust industrial construction
- Compact configuration for its airflow capacity
- Suitable for skid-mounted and custom trailer applications
