Saylor-Beall 30 HP Pressure-Lubricated 9000 Series

Saylor-Beall 30 HP Pressure-Lubricated 9000 Series

The Saylor-Beall 30 HP models represent the maximum output available in their reciprocating line. Built for the most demanding industrial environments, these units feature the Model 9000 pump, a heavy-duty, 4-cylinder V-configuration powerhouse that delivers high-volume air for large-scale production, automated machinery, and heavy sandblasting.

Choose Your Lubrication System

To ensure long-term durability at this high horsepower, the 30 HP models offer two lubrication designs:

• Splash-Lubricated: The standard configuration for stationary, level installations. It utilizes oil dippers to distribute lubricant. This is a robust and reliable system for standard industrial operations.
• Pressure-Lubricated (PL): Strongly recommended for high duty cycles or 24/7 operations. This version uses a positive displacement oil pump to force filtered oil directly to the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings. It includes a spin-on oil filter, providing the highest level of protection against wear and heat.

Standard vs. Performance Packages

The 30 HP series can be configured as a baseline industrial unit or as a fully optimized, turnkey air station.

Standard Package

Includes the essential high-output components:

• 240-Gallon ASME horizontal tank for maximum air storage.
• NEMA-rated magnetic starter for reliable motor protection.
• 30 HP industrial motor built for sustained high-load service.
• Centrifugal unloader for loadless starting, reducing strain on the motor.

Performance Package (FP)

The Performance Package is the premium choice for enhancing air quality and equipment life. It includes:

• Air-Cooled Aftercooler: Utilizes the motor fan to lower discharge temperatures, removing moisture before it enters your facility’s air lines.
• Automatic Tank Drain: Automatically purges condensate from the tank to prevent internal corrosion and moisture carryover.
• Low Oil Level Switch: Provides an extra layer of security by shutting down the motor if oil levels drop.
• Dual Control: Allows the unit to switch between start/stop and continuous run modes (includes head unloaders).
• Vibration Isolator Pads: Minimizes noise and mechanical vibration transmitted to the shop floor.
• Quiet Intake Filter: Oversized filter housing that significantly lowers the decibel level of the compressor.

Why This Unit Sells

The 30 HP Saylor-Beall is an “overbuilt” solution for those who need 100+ CFM but want the simple serviceability of a piston compressor. By using the massive Model 9000 pump, this unit runs at a lower speed than many competitors, generating less heat and offering a life cycle measured in decades.
