H I G H P R E S S U R E B R E A T H I N G A I R C O M P R E S S O R Your new ALKIN air compressor will provide you with the solid and reliable performance that you should expect from a heavy-duty industrial air compressor.
1.1 General 1.1.1 General Safety All ALKIN air compressors are designed and manufactured with equipment and components that allow safe operation of the compressors. However, it is the user’s responsibility to safely operate and maintain the compressor, observe the rules and instructions, as well as the local safety codes, to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries.

However, have the crankshaft tested with proper testing equipment in general overhaul periods and replace it if exceeding the tolerance limits mentioned in the parts. CONSULT THE NEAREST ALKIN DEALER OR ALKIN FOR REPLACEMENT OR MAINTENANCE Connecting Rods: There are three connecting rods which are exactly same for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd stages on W32 model.
Filling Valve, Yoke, Pressure Gauge , DIN Adapter on the hoses which is required to connect and fill the SCBA cylinders. W32 Series Compressors are designed to fill 2 cylinders at a time. Number of the Filling Hoses can be increased upon special request.

H I G H P R E S S U R E B R E A T H I N G A I R C O M P R E S S O R Electric Motor/ Petrol Engine: W32 Series of compressors can be driven by electric motor or petrol engine. They are belt-driven. They have an hourmeter which shows the working hours of the unit on the electric motor on W32 Mariner Electric models and on the control panel on W32 Canopy models.
MAINTENANCE 1.4 General Features W32 series compressors are three stage, reciprocating type, air-cooled and forced lubricated compressors. Working Pressure of these compressors varies from 150 Bar (2175 psi) to 350 Bar (5000 psi) depending on the cooling system and valve heads installed. Working temperature range of the compressor is 0/+45 ºC.

This allows a much longer service life. All valves have free access for time saving and ease of maintenance. W32 Series compressors are built with the necessary intercoolers and aftercooler to allow superior performance, longer service life and lower servicing costs. W32 Series Compressors are equipped with 2 intercoolers between the & 2 &...
W32 series compressors have valves on all stages. They are designed to have an unobstructed passage of air with no pressure loss; they are easy to maintain and replace. Particular attention must be paid to maintenance of the valves as these valves are one of the most critical parts for proper operation of the compressor.

W32 Series compressors can be manually controlled by pressing the start/stop switches on the electric motor. II. Automatic Start/Stop W32 Series compressors can be controlled by a pressure switch to automatically stop and restart at the upper and lower pressure limits. Pressure switches cuts off the electric motor control when the compressor reaches the adjusted upper pressure.
Mariner compressors if otherwise mentionned. II. Automatic Drain W32 Series compressors can be automatically drained by automatic drain valves. These drain valves are controlled by 3 way Solenoid Valve which is normally closed. This solenoid valve supplies or cuts the control air on the drain valves, thus letting them to open or close.
IF YOUR COMPRESSOR IS A PETROL ENGINE DRIVEN MODEL PLEASE PUT AN INTAKE HOSE WITH INTAKE FILTER AT ITS INLET WHICH IS SUPPLIED BY “ALKIN” AS THE INLET OF THE HOSE CAN TAKE FRESH AND CLEAN AIR. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE QUALITY OF THE BREATHING AIR PRODUCED BY YOUR COMPRESSOR.

1.12.4 Motor Lubrication Electric motors on W32 Series compressors are supplied with greased and sealed bearings. They do not no need further maintenance. See the users manual of electric motors or petrol engines before operating your compressor and follow the instructions while using your compressor.
