1/4 HP Matala MPC-60A Compressor

1/4 HP Matala MPC-60A Rocking Piston Compressor

The Matala MPC-60A is a high-performance rocking piston compressor specifically engineered for the demanding environments of pond and lake aeration. Unlike standard air pumps, this 1/4 HP compressor is designed to push air into deeper waters (up to 30–50 feet), making it the ideal choice for improving water quality in ponds up to 1 acre.

The "A" model is a standalone unit that comes equipped with a high-quality air filter. It is perfect for DIY custom setups or as a reliable replacement motor for existing aeration systems. Built with an oil-less design, it ensures no lubricants contaminate your water, keeping your aquatic ecosystem safe and healthy.

Key Features:

• Deep Water Capability: Provides significant airflow even at high pressures, suitable for depths where linear pumps typically fail.

• Oil-Less Operation: Carbon-sleeved piston and cylinder require no lubrication, ensuring clean air output and minimal maintenance.

• Hard-Coated Cylinder: The cylinder is hard-coated for superior wear resistance and extended service life in 24/7 operating conditions.

• Low Vibration: Precision balanced for smooth, quiet operation, reducing wear on internal components and minimizing noise.

• Easy Maintenance: Features a head design that allows for quick and simple replacement of the piston seal when needed (rebuild kits available).

• Thermal Protection: Integrated safety protection prevents the motor from overheating during heavy use.
