At Durham Autoclaves, we are proud to offer a range of high-quality compressors tailored to meet the needs of modern dental practices.
Among our top offerings are the Cattani AC200 and AC300 compressors, renowned for their performance and reliability.
Cattani AC200 Compressor
The AC200 is an oil-free, two-cylinder compressor equipped with a drying column, making it ideal for practices with 2-3 dental chairs. Its compact design ensures efficient use of space without compromising on power. The interior features Cattani’s patented silver ion coating to prevent microbial growth, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, hygienic air.
Cattani AC300 Compressor
For larger practices, the AC300 offers a robust solution, supporting up to four dental chairs simultaneously. This three-cylinder, oil-free unit provides dry, clean air, essential for optimal dental procedures. An optional sound-reducing hood is available, lowering noise levels to an impressive 52 dB(A), improving the comfort of both practitioners and patients.
How Many Compressors Does a Large Practice Need?
The number of compressors required depends on several factors, including the number of dental chairs, the types of procedures performed, and the need for redundancy to avoid downtime.
General Guidelines for Compressor Capacity:
Small Practice (1-3 chairs): 1 compressor (e.g., Cattani AC200)
Medium Practice (4-6 chairs): 1 larger compressor (e.g., Cattani AC300) or 2 smaller units for backup
Large Practice (7+ chairs): At least 2 compressors to ensure continuous operation, prevent downtime, and share the workload.
Why Have More Than One Compressor?
· Redundancy: If one fails, the practice can continue operating.
· Efficiency: Multiple compressors can handle high demand without overloading.
· Extended Lifespan: Sharing the load between compressors reduces wear and tear.
For a very large practice or specialist clinic, a combination of multiple AC300 units or a centralised system may be the best option. Regular servicing and maintenance also play a key role in keeping compressors running smoothly.
Servicing and Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your compressor. Cattani compressors are designed for straightforward servicing, with annual schedules that include the replacement of air inlet filters, drying column filters, and o-ring seals. Intermediate services may involve additional components like motor start capacitors. Adhering to these schedules not only maintains efficiency but also upholds the manufacturer's warranty.
At Durham Autoclaves, we not only supply these exceptional compressors but also offer comprehensive servicing for Cattani models. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your equipment operates faultlessly, allowing you to focus on providing excellent care to your patients.
Conclusion
Investing in a Cattani compressor means choosing durability, efficiency, and peace of mind for your practice. Whether you’re a small practice looking for a reliable single unit or a large clinic needing multiple compressors for maximum efficiency, we can help find the best solution.
