STATESVILLE, N.C. —
Doosan Infracore Portable Power introduces its newest portable
air compressor, the Ingersoll Rand C185 compressor. The C185 is
the latest air compressor that builds on the strong
legacy of Ingersoll Rand and adds technological advancements for today’s
contractor needs. The C185 is designed for rental customers and offers quality
and reliability with enhanced performance and
value.
The
Ingersoll Rand C185 compressor produces 185 cubic feet per minute (cfm) at 100
pounds per square inch (psi), runs off a high-performance 49-horsepower Kubota
diesel engine and has an eight-hour runtime. The C185 weighs only 1,825 pounds
and has two service air ports for multi-tool use, creating the best value in a
185-cfm compressor size. The C185 is compact, with an overall width of 66 inches
and an overall height of 58 inches.
The
C185 features a new single-piece canopy that is lockable, lightweight,
aerodynamic and made of virtually indestructible composite material. In
addition, the compressor’s compact frame and tow bar go through a three-step
paint process for excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasion. These two
features combined with the composite fenders and rear bumpers provide the best
corrosion resistance in the industry.
The
C185 compressor was engineered with industry-leading technology, including a
cool-box design that enables cool air to enter the rear of the compressor and
wash over internal components, keeping internal temperatures low and prolonging
component life. The unit comes standard with a simple, spin-on remote separator
element, which eliminates the need to disassemble the separator tank during
routine maintenance and prevents spillage during oil
changes.
The
C185 compressor has an easy-lift, hinged canopy that fully opens for convenient
tool storage access and everyday maintenance. This feature makes all potential
service points easily accessible without removing the canopy, offering a level
of unbeatable serviceability and reducing valuable labor
time.
For
safety, the new compressor features curbside controls and service valves, which
keep operators away from traffic while starting the machine and hooking up
tools. The valves are located near the toolbox for quick hookup, and the
operators are able to execute a one-handed startup even while wearing work
gloves. The control panel is accessible and operational with the canopy open or
closed.
Customers
will particularly be impressed with the low cost of ownership associated with
the Ingersoll Rand C185 compressor. Operators will praise the simplicity and
ease of use of these units. Technicians will enjoy the abundant accessibility of
all maintainable parts and the effortless serviceability these compressors
offer.

Ingersoll Rand C185 air compressor the easiest compressor on the market to
service, resulting in ultimate satisfaction of rental customers, operators and
technicians.
