The company has released its new high pressure pneumatics technology through new products. The technology increases air pressure created in the compressor and delivered to pneumatic nailers. The launch of the high pressure pneumatics consists of the 2.5-horsepower High Pressure Air Compressor (AC310H), the 2½-inch High Pressure Siding Coil Nailer (AN610H), and the 3½-inch High Pressure Framing Coil Nailer (AN911H). With a high pressure 1.6-gallon tank, the AC310H provides the same capacity as a conventional 5-gallon tank at 120 PSI, but with less noise and a more compact size for easier transport. The AN610H nailer can operate at 140-320 PSI, and with its high pressure capacity and superior power to weight ratio is up to 30 percent more compact than a conventional nailer. The AN911H has the power to consistently drive larger nails into dense materials like OSB, LVL, and glue lam, giving framing contractors one nailer to handle all of their framing needs.If you read this article, please circle number 171.
