{"product_id":"quincy-4152028076-air-compressor","title":"Quincy Air Compressor 40 HP Tankless Rotary Screw 3 Phase","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuincy 4152028076 QGS 40 HP Tankless Rotary Screw Air Compressor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe defining fact about this machine sits in the spec sheet rather than the marketing copy: its tank size is recorded as 0 gallons and its tank-included field reads \"No\". This is a bare rotary screw package — an airend, a motor and a control cabinet, with nothing bolted underneath to store air in. Buying it means you already own, or are about to buy, the receiver it feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is how plants normally purchase air at this size. Above roughly thirty horsepower the receiver stops being an accessory and becomes part of the building: it is sized to the demand profile of every machine on the header, sited where the pipework wants it, and shared. A 40 HP airend welded to whatever tank a catalogue happened to pair it with is the compromise. This is the version that does not make you accept one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGear drive, and what it removes from your maintenance list\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pump drive on this unit is recorded as a gear drive. On a belt-driven screw compressor the belts are a wear item with a schedule attached: tension them, check them, and eventually replace a matched set, with the machine off and the panels open each time. A gear train has none of that. The motor and the airend are coupled through hardened gears running in the same lubricant that serves the rest of the pump, so the transmission is maintained by the oil change you were doing anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a second, quieter benefit. A slipping or mis-tensioned belt loses power between the motor shaft and the airend, and that loss is invisible — the machine still runs, it just makes less air for the same electricity bill. Gear coupling removes that failure mode entirely, which matters more on a unit expected to run continuously than it does on one that starts a few times an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContinuous duty is a design decision, not a rating\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe duty cycle here is 100%. A reciprocating compressor is normally sized to run part of the time and cool off for the rest; ask it to run flat out and you shorten its life. A rotary screw compressor is built the other way round — it is happiest loaded and running, and the oil-injected screw element is cooled by the same fluid that seals and lubricates it. If your air demand is steady rather than peaky, this is the machine architecture that suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is rated at 71 dBA. That is quiet enough to stand next to and hold a conversation, which is the practical test that matters when the compressor is inside the working area rather than in a plant room down the corridor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit, and what will it cost you to feed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet measures 44.5\" long, 30.7\" wide and 49.2\" tall, and the unit weighs 979 lbs. It is short — being tankless, there is no horizontal receiver stretching the footprint out — but it still needs service clearance on the door side and space for the cooling air to leave. Check the hinged doors and detachable panels can actually open where you intend to stand it, not just that the box will squeeze in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower is the part to settle before you order. This is a 230\/460V 3-phase machine and it requires a Wye-Delta reduced-voltage start. Quincy's own data does not publish an amp draw or a recommended breaker size for it; both fields read \"Consult Certified Electrician\". We are not going to invent numbers Quincy declined to print. Have a licensed electrician confirm your service capacity, your feeder sizing and your starter arrangement against the unit's nameplate before the machine ships, because a 40 HP three-phase load is not something to discover a problem with on installation day. Site preparation, electrical supply and any permits are the customer's responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to confirm about the dryer and the certification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished information for this compressor differs on two points. Each is attributed to its source below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's feature list for this compressor includes \"Integrated Refrigerant Air Dryer\"; the specification table on this page has an Air Dryer field, and it reads \"No\". \u003cstrong\u003eIf a built-in refrigerated dryer is the reason you are considering this unit, confirm it with us in writing before you commit\u003c\/strong\u003e — we will check it against the current Quincy factory order sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe specification table also records a certification of ASME, which is the American pressure-vessel code and applies to air receivers, while this unit is listed as having no receiver — the field may have been carried over from a tanked model in the same family. Ask us before ordering if the marking matters to your inspection regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote also that ASME is a pressure-vessel code. It is not an electrical safety listing, and it does not stand in for one. If your insurer, your local inspector or your plant's own standards require a North American third-party electrical listing on the control panel, verify that requirement against the machine's nameplate before purchase rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufacturing and fabrication shops with an existing receiver and air-treatment train that need to replace or add compressor capacity without re-plumbing. Multi-bay commercial service operations running production air all day. Any facility whose air demand is steady enough that a continuously running screw machine is cheaper than a large reciprocating unit cycling on and off. It is not a home-garage compressor, and it is not a plug-in machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e40 HP, electric\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSupply\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e230\/460V, 3-phase, Wye-Delta reduced-voltage start\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eAmp draw \/ breaker\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eQuincy states \"Consult Certified Electrician\" for both\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eDuty cycle\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e100%\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eMax pressure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e125 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003ePump type\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRotary screw, oil-lubricated, gear drive\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eReceiver\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e0 gallons — tank not included\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSound level\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e71 dBA\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e44.5\" x 30.7\" x 49.2\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e979 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne figure we have deliberately left out: the free-air-delivery rating.

A magnetic starter is listed as included. A receiver tank and an electronic drain valve are not. The refrigerant dryer is the disputed item described above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compressor moves as freight to the lower 48 states, free of charge. At 979 lbs it is beyond what a delivery driver will hand down: you need a dock, a forklift, or you take the shipment at the carrier's terminal. Delivery to a residential address carries a residential fee. When the truck arrives, walk the crate before you sign — look at the panels, the base and the cabinet corners, and write any damage you find on the bill of lading. A clean signature is the carrier's evidence that the machine arrived intact, and it is very hard to argue with afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuincy's recorded terms for this unit are 1 Year consumer and 1 Year commercial coverage as standard. An extended 3 Year factory warranty is available, and the True Blue 5-Year warranty applies where the machine is commissioned by a Quincy authorized start-up. Registration and start-up conditions are the manufacturer's, so read the warranty handbook before the installer leaves site rather than after. If you think you have a warranty fault, stop the machine and call us before anything is opened up — a unit that has been partly disassembled is a much harder claim to make, and on a compressor this size that is not a small thing to lose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quincy Compressor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49287159251098,"sku":"4152028076","price":16144.8,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/quincy-4152028076-air-compressor","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
