The compressor footprint measures 1240mm × 650mm and with noise levels between 67 & 70DBA they are suitable for installation within the workplace.

Mark Whitmore, General Manager at BOGE says: "Customers tell us that a low capital purchase price, immediate availability and reliability are the most desirable factors for this size of compressor. Whereas, drivers such as total cost of ownership and extended warranty are not so important to them. We've been able to meet their needs with the SOLIDscrew compressor, offering value for money but still using BOGE's proven technology and reliability."

Stock of all compressors and service parts are available from BOGE's UK warehouse in Huddersfield, with next day delivery available. Go to www.boge.co.uk for more information about SOLIDscrew.
