Description
Continuous-Duty Shop Air, 24/7 — Schulz 50 HP Rotary Screw Air Compressor (207 CFM, 230V)
Reciprocating compressors are built for intermittent use — run one all day and it overheats, wears out, and starves your tools for air. The Schulz 50 HP rotary screw compressor (SKU 970.3458-0) is designed for 100% continuous duty, delivering a steady 207 CFM of clean, cool, low-pulsation air for production environments that run all shift. With a Base-mounted (no tank) and 230V three-phase power, it drops in as the backbone of a busy shop’s air system. Sizing a screw compressor to your actual demand matters — call or text CET at 586-210-0555 before ordering and we will confirm the right model for your CFM and electrical service.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why choose rotary screw over a piston compressor?
- Rotary screw compressors run continuously without overheating, deliver steady low-pulsation air, run quieter, and last far longer under heavy use. Piston (reciprocating) units are better for intermittent light-duty work; for a shop that runs air most of the day, a screw compressor is the right tool.
- How much CFM do I actually need?
- Add up the CFM demand of every tool that runs at once, then add headroom for leaks and future growth. This 50 HP model delivers 207 CFM. Undersizing causes pressure drops and short-cycling; oversizing wastes energy. Call or text 586-210-0555 with your tool list and CET will size it correctly.
- What electrical service does it require?
- This unit is wired for 230V / 3-Phase / 60 Hz. Confirm your shop’s available voltage and phase before ordering — a 460V three-phase unit will not run on 230V service and vice versa. If you are unsure, call or text 586-210-0555.
- Do I need an air dryer with it?
- For most production air — especially finishing, painting, and instrument air — yes. A refrigerated dryer downstream removes moisture that would otherwise rust piping and ruin finishes. CET can match a Schulz ADS dryer to this compressor’s output; call or text 586-210-0555.
