1/5 HP Matala Rotary Vane Air Compressor Cabinet Kit
The Matala 1/5 HP Rotary Vane Air Compressor Cabinet Kit is an all-inclusive, professional-grade aeration system designed for medium-sized ponds and lakes. Built for longevity and ease of installation, this kit houses a high-efficiency rotary vane compressor inside a protective, landscape-green cabinet that is designed to withstand extreme outdoor conditions.
Rotary vane compressors are the preferred choice for applications requiring continuous-duty operation and significant depth capabilities. They are quieter than rocking piston compressors and more durable than diaphragm pumps, offering a perfect balance of performance and maintenance-free operation.
Key Features:
-
Heavy-Duty Locking Cabinet: The landscape-green cabinet is powder-coated for durability and features a lock for security. It is mounted on a solid support base to maintain a level installation.
-
Integrated Cooling & Safety: Equipped with a built-in cooling fan for cross-flow ventilation and a GFI electrical outlet to prevent shorts or surges.
-
Oil-Free Operation: Clean, oil-free air delivery ensures no contamination of your pond or lake ecosystem.
-
Advanced Manifold Assembly: Includes a heavy-duty manifold with an oil-filled pressure gauge (for accurate, vibration-free readings) and a brass pressure relief valve to protect the compressor from burnout.
-
High Depth Performance: Capable of operating at depths up to 20 feet (recommended max pressure of 10 PSI).
-
Silent Performance: Rotary vane technology produces considerably less noise than comparable rocking piston models.
