Flip two latches and the entire side panel comes off. The oil separator, air filter, and fuel filter are all right there. You don't need to be a contortionist to change the oil. A 15-minute service interval keeps you on the job. sk19 kaeser

The Workhorse Unleashed: Why the Kaeser SK19 is the King of the 185 CFM Class

Because of the low oil carry-over design, the air coming out of this thing is dry . We’ve used it to backfill instrumentation tubing without a separate dryer. That’s a huge bonus for environmental drilling crews. The One Quirk (Be Honest) We have to mention the gauge panel. The analog gauges are bulletproof, but the layout is very "German." The pressure gauge is on the left, the temp on the right, and the hour meter is buried down low. It takes a day to get used to where everything is. Also, the tow ring is heavy—you need a 2” ball, not a 1-7/8”. Verdict If you are price shopping for the cheapest 185 on the lot, the SK19 isn't for you. You’ll buy an import. But if you want a compressor that will start on the first turn of the key in January, survive a careless operator, and hold its resale value better than a Toyota Tacoma— buy the Kaeser SK19.

If you work in construction, well drilling, or sandblasting, you know the drill: You need air, and you need it now . But you also need it to be dry, reliable, and quiet enough that your crew doesn’t go home with tinnitus.
