Sterling 90-225 CFM, SDA 150-380 General Responsibility, Operator Responsibility

Page 8

We have long recognized the importance of safety and have designed and manufactured our equipment with operator safety as a prime consideration. We expect you, as a user, to abide by the foregoing recommendations in order to make operator safety a reality.

1-3 Responsibility

These machines are constructed for maximum operator safety when used under standard operating conditions and when recommended instructions are followed in the maintenance and operation of the machine.

All personnel engaged in the use of the machines should become familiar with their operation as described in this manual.

Proper operation of the machine promotes safety for the operator and all workers in its vicinity.

Each individual must take responsibility for observing the prescribed safety rules as outlined. All warning and danger signs must be observed and obeyed. All actual or potential danger areas must be reported to your immediate supervisor.

General Responsibility

No matter who you are, safety is important. Owners, operators and maintenance personnel must realize that every day, safety is a vital part of their jobs.

If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember that production is always affected in a negative way following an accident. The following are some of the ways that accidents can affect your production:

Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)

Breakdown of shop morale

Costly damage to equipment

Downtime

An effective safety program is responsible and economically sound.

Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings. Promote this group from the management level. Through this group, the safety program can be continually reviewed, maintained, and improved. Keep minutes or a record of the meetings.

Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular maintenance checks. You will keep your equipment safe for production and exhibit your commitment to safety.

Please read and use this manual as a guide to equipment safety. This manual contains safety warnings throughout, specific to each function and point of operation.

Operator Responsibility

The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient production. The operator usually has the most daily contact with the equipment and intimately knows its capabilities and limitations.

Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive rates, or through a casual attitude toward machinery formed over a period of months or years. Your employer probably has established a set of safety rules in your workplace. Those rules, this manual, or any other safety information will not keep you from being injured while operating your equipment.

Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe practices. Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor.

SDA 150-380, 90-225 CFM specifications

The Sterling 90-225 CFM and SDA 150-380 series represent cutting-edge advancements in air compressor technology, designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Known for their reliability, efficiency, and superior performance, these units are essential tools for professionals seeking high-quality compressed air solutions.

One of the standout features of the Sterling 90-225 CFM series is its impressive flow rate. With a capacity range of 90 to 225 cubic feet per minute, these compressors offer ample airflow to power pneumatic tools and equipment while maintaining optimal pressure levels. The durability of the components used in the construction of this series ensures that it can withstand the rigors of heavy-duty operations while minimizing downtime.

The SDA 150-380 series further enhances this approach with its higher capacity range, accommodating between 150 to 380 CFM. This variant is particularly suitable for larger facilities and demanding applications where sustained airflow is essential. Both series are designed to adapt to various pressure requirements, making them versatile solutions for different industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive sectors.

A key technology featured in both series is the use of energy-efficient motors, which significantly reduce operational costs. These motors are designed to deliver high torque at low speeds, ensuring smooth operation and less wear on the compressor. Furthermore, the incorporation of advanced control systems allows for real-time monitoring and adjustments to optimize performance, ensuring that the compressors operate within desired parameters continuously.

Noise reduction is another critical aspect of both the Sterling and SDA series. Innovatively engineered with sound-attenuating materials, these compressors operate at lower decibel levels, providing a more pleasant working environment. This focus on user comfort doesn’t sacrifice performance, as the units are built to achieve maximum efficiency even at reduced noise levels.

The ease of maintenance is another important characteristic. Both models are equipped with user-friendly access points for essential components, simplifying routine checks and servicing procedures. This results in less downtime and improved reliability across the operational lifespan of the compressors.

In conclusion, the Sterling 90-225 CFM and SDA 150-380 series compressors set a benchmark in the industry, offering a blend of performance, efficiency, and user-friendly features that cater to various industrial needs.
