PneuTech RK-20VSD-115B

PneuTech RK-20VSD-115B is a 20 HP variable-speed-drive (VSD) rotary screw air compressor delivering up to 69.8 CFM at 115 PSI, wired for 460V/3-phase/60 Hz, weighing 728 lbs. The VSD drive modulates motor speed to match actual air demand, cutting energy consumption by 20-35% versus fixed-speed screw designs in variable-demand facilities. Single-stage oil-flooded screw compression at the 20 HP class in a simplex base-mount configuration. Priced at $16,600. Remaining gaps: lubrication confirmation, receiver/tank size, noise level (dBA), drive brand, and OEM datasheet not in the current record.
