N/A means the sell sheet does not rate that model at that pressure.
Models without a listed price are priced on your quote; $50 per horsepower still comes off it. Inlet temperature, humidity and elevation affect delivered air. Your quote covers them.

Get your quote in 24 hours. Send the model number, or the CFM and pressure you need, and we come back with a quote in 24 hours.
What do the CFM figures mean?
Each CFM figure is the rated air delivery for that model at that discharge pressure, measured according to ISO 1217:2009 Annex C. Every number on this page is copied from the December 2025 South-Tek compressor brochure.
Inlet temperature, humidity and elevation affect delivered air. Your quote covers them.
What electrical service does it need?
Compressors up to 40 HP use Tri-Voltage motors; 50 HP and above are standard 460V.
Tell us your voltage on the quote request and we confirm the motor for your model.
I am replacing an old unit. Does the $50 per horsepower discount apply?
$50 off per horsepower on every unit. There is no age requirement on the unit you are replacing. No paperwork to prove anything. It applies whether this is your first rotary screw package or your fifth. First year of service parts included.
Fixed speed or VSD, which do I need?
A fixed speed compressor runs its motor at one speed and delivers its rated CFM whenever it is loaded. It suits a steady air demand. A VSD compressor changes motor speed to follow the air you are using. It suits a demand that swings through the shift. VSD matches output to demand: 15-25% energy savings vs. fixed-speed. Savings estimates based on specific use cases and may vary.
If your demand is steady, look at the STSP Series.
