When unsurpassed performance is required, the PETStar 4 line of reciprocating compressors answers the challenge. Robustly designed and configured in a horizontal layout, the balanced opposed arrangement eliminates vibration and improves reliability. By utilizing four stages of compression, the ratio is carried equally across each cylinder. This further aids in lower operating temperatures across each stage and longer life for valves, rings, and packing. To simplify installation, all PETStars feature a heavy-duty welded steel sub-base. From in-line molding to the largest production requirements, there is a PETStar 4 package to meet your needs.
