The 4-15 kW line is offered in fixed speed, while the 18.5-37 kW line is offered in fixed speed or with an optional Variable Speed Drive. In addition to ShopTek CE, Sullair has launched a full range of medium and high-flow portable compressors from 550-1,050 cfm (15.5-29.7 m3/min), which will be followed shortly by lower flow portable compressors in the 187-375 cfm (5.3 – 10.6 m3/min) range to complete the offering.
