Next Generation Power Engineering's combination units have saved space and weight in contractor trucks and trailers by combining two machines into one. Now, a new, vertically-oriented design option substantially cuts down the width of a package that was already smaller than running a separate generator and compressor.
Previous designs put the belt-driven compressor off to the side of the engine, keeping a low-profile, but adding width to the set. This configuration is still offered and perfect for height restricted areas, such as the front of gooseneck trailers. Next Gen's vertically-stacked unit places the gen-set on a framework over the fuel or air tank, enabling the compressor to be belt-driven below the crankshaft. This design increases the height, but significantly reduces the footprint, saving valuable floor space.
Power by a reliable Kubota diesel engine running at 1,800 rpm, sizes are available from 10-50 kW with 20-100 cfm of air. A low-speed Schulz compressor is standard with an optional rotary screw compressor offered. Measuring 78" L x 30" W x 60" H, the pictured machine provides 40 kW, has a 30 cfm rotary screw compressor and sits on an 80 gallon fuel tank. List price is price is $21,000 with discounts available for installers and manufacturers.
