Frequently Asked Questions
Ingersoll Rand Type 30 Model SS3 Single-Stage Bare Pump Air Compressor (CCN 18002378)
Answer: The SS3 is a single-stage pump that produces about 11.3 CFM at 90 PSI when paired with a 5 HP motor. It’s compact and efficient, designed for light-industrial and commercial air needs.
Answer: The SS3 compresses air in a single stage instead of two, providing lower maximum pressure (around 135 PSI) but excellent performance for tools and tasks that don’t require very high pressure. It’s simpler and easier to maintain than the larger two-stage units.
Answer: The SS3 is intended for intermittent to moderate continuous use. For full-duty industrial operation, a two-stage model such as the 2340 or 2475 is recommended, but the SS3 performs reliably in smaller shops and service bays.
Answer: Check and change oil regularly, clean or replace the air filter, and keep belt tension within proper limits. Because of its straightforward design, maintenance is quick and low cost.
Answer: The SS3 is ideal for small auto shops, garages, tire service stations, and maintenance crews that need dependable air for tools such as impact wrenches, spray guns, and inflators.
