Description

The PCB020 trainer is used to study the operating principle of a single-stage air compressor.

The robust design of this device makes it suitable for use in schools.
The equipment is set up on an Anodized aluminium frame on casters wheels. This gives it great strength and a flexibility of integration into your premises.The manufacture of this equipment complies with the European standard for machinery manufacturing.

The bench is mounted on an aluminum profile frame equipped with four directional casters with brakes.
It includes an electrical box with a main power disconnect switch and a 30mA residual current circuit breaker.
