Choosing the right option

Choose this if you are running a full ring main with five or more outlets in constant use, or planning for growth.
Step down if you have three or four operators. The Ironman 7-270 is more economical for that workload.

Common questions

How many tools can it run at once?

Around five, based on 36 CFM usable output against typical detailing tool draw of 5 to 7 CFM each. High-draw tools will reduce that figure.

What power supply do I need?

Three-phase at 23.7 Amp draw. This is a substantial load, so confirm your switchboard has capacity before ordering.

Is this overkill for a detailing business?

For most single-site detailing operations, yes. This suits high-volume facilities with five or more simultaneous air users. If you are unsure, get in touch and we can size it properly.

How is it delivered?

At 350 kg and 2 metres long it requires mechanical handling and clear access. Contact us to discuss your site before ordering.
