The Coltri MCH-16 Standard Electric is an 11.3 SCFM (320 L/min) breathing-air compressor at 5,000 PSI (345 bar), sized for higher-throughput dive shops and small commercial fill operations stepping up from the MCH-13 platform. The 4-stage air-cooled airend is driven by a 5.5 kW (~7.5 HP) three-phase electric motor at 230/400 V (US installations on 208/230/460 V via distributor-supplied panel). Output is CGA G-7.1 Grade E / EN 12021 breathing air via Coltri’s standard 3-stage purification stack. The MCH-16 occupies the throughput tier comparable to Bauer’s mid-line Verticus models at a ~30% acquisition discount; the trade-off remains lighter PLC/HMI controls and no B-SECURUS humidity monitoring. Best for busy dive shops doing 50+ fills per day or small commercial fill banks.
