The World's First Compact Diesel Powered Air Compressor

Our Twister series was originally created with the goal of minimizing the service truck's engine idle time that was required to run a compressor. By equipping the Twister with its own motor (powered by anything from propane, diesel, gasoline, or even electricity, and more), it could run the compressor while providing power to the truck for systems such as air conditioning.

Rotary Screw Air End

Rather than compressing air with pistons, rotary screw compressors draw air between two rotating screws. With this simple configuration, rotary screw compressors are very durable and enjoy very easy maintenance. This technology is comfortable in extreme weather conditions, and can provide massive quantities of airflow for many, many years to come.

Patent US20090162218A1 Combination Power Plant/Fluid Compressor for Service Vehicles

A combination power plant/fluid compressor is provided for service vehicles. A small displacement internal combustion engine can be used to drive a fluid compressor, both mounted on a platform that can be mounted on the vehicle. A coupler is used to directly couple power from a pulley mounted on the crankshaft of the engine to the fluid compressor. The engine can operate on fuel from the fuel tank on the vehicle. The engine can be water-cooled and be configured to circulate heated coolant to the engine cooling system on the vehicle. In another embodiment, the engine can be operatively coupled to a stand-alone air conditioning system. In a further embodiment, the engine can be operatively coupled to a stand-alone electrical charging system.
