GT2000 Series Compressor

GT2000 series compressor is now available in two throw and

four throw configurations. With maximum ratings of 400
horsepower and cylinder maximum allowable working pressure
as high as 6000 psig.

As with all GT compressors, regular, minimal maintenance

insures a lifetime of continuous, trouble-free operation.

The GT Compressor is a true balanced opposed design and has

a fully machined crankshaft to provide optimum balance and
vibration free operation. This reduces the foundation
requirements and your installation expenses.
