California Air Tools 10020HDCADC-22060 Ultra Quiet & Oil Free Air Compressor
California Air Tools 10020HDCADC-22060 Ultra Quiet & Oil Free Air Compressor
Experience clean, dry air and dependable performance in a compact footprint. The 10020HDCADC-22060 combines a 2.0 HP (rated/running) motor with a 10-gallon horizontal steel tank and a built-in air-drying system designed to minimize maintenance while maximizing tool life.
Ultra-quiet, durable operation
- Only 70 decibels of sound, making it suitable for busy workshops, garages, and home studios where quiet operation matters.
- 2.0 HP motor runs at 1680 RPM, reducing noise and wear for longer life.
- SP Series motor design to increase duty cycle and enable longer continuous run times.
Oil-free pumping for cleaner air
- Oil-free dual-piston pump delivers cleaner air with less maintenance and no oil carryover.
- Engineered for durability with a projected wear life of 3000+ hours, compared with shorter lifespans of oil-lubricated units.
- Designed to handle cold-starts and operate across a variety of temperatures without oil-related issues.
Dry air ready for precision tooling
- NEW Air Dryer Cartridge System removes up to 98% of water vapor to protect sensitive tools and machinery.
- Aftercooler cools discharge air before entering the dryer, increasing drying efficiency.
- Spin-on air dryer cartridge uses regenerating high-temperature molecular sieve desiccant; cartridge life ~2 years before replacement.
- Air Quality: ISO 8573 Class 2.3.1 for consistently dry air.
Tank, space, and versatility
- 10-gallon horizontal steel air tank providing ample storage while fitting under a bench, desk, or cabinet.
- Designed to support two handpieces, enabling simultaneous operation without extra equipment.
