This lightweight and compact AfterCooler eliminates up to 80% of the moisture from your air lines and is rated for air flows up to 70 cfm. It is equipped with a powerful 12-volt fan and a moisture filter assembly that automatically drains.

AfterCoolers help prevent air tools from rusting and freezing up at cold temperatures. By reducing the amount of water and contaminates in your air lines, you prolong the life and improve the performance of your air tools.

The ELIMINATOR70 Air AfterCooler is the perfect compliment for any 30-70 cfm truck mounted air compressor system.

• Prolongs life and improves performance of air tools.
• Maximum air flow is 70 cfm
• Weighs only 35 lbs
• Measures 17.0 (l) x 8.0 (w) x 14.5 (h)
• 12-volt activated

The PREDATAIR60 was launched one year ago and sales have been rising. Thank you to all of our Dealers who supported our launch of this revolutionary new product line. We have now taken the feedback received from customers and added new features to the product line. Some of these features are highlighted below:

• Hydraulic Oil Temperature Sensing - both in the cooler discharge and in the hydraulic manifold.
• Unload/Load-up Solenoid - greatly reduces the load on the hydraulic system by limiting the compressor air pressure to approximately 70 psi during startup or periods of no air use.
• Check Valve and Pressure Sensor at Compressor Air Discharge - check valve for an air reservoir is now built in.
• Flash Codes - There are more flash codes using the two LED lights on the top of the PREDATAIR to indicate the status of the system. Some of the things that are indicated are Temperature Probe Failure, Cold Start Mode, High Pressure Start, Compressor Over-Temp, and Hydraulic Over-Temp.

New PREDATAIR60 Accessories are now available:

• Hour Meter (Part # A700147)
• Cold Climate Kit (Part # A700146)

Due to overwhelming demand, VMAC has designed UNDERHOOD VR70 Air Compressor Systems for 4 new truck applications.

• 2005-2006 Ford F650-F750 CAT C7 Diesel (Part # V900085)
• 2006 Freightliner M2 CAT C7 Diesel (Part # V900088)
• 2005-2007 International 4300-4400 DT466 Diesel (Part # V900086)

Please let us know if you have had requests for UNDERHOOD Air Systems that VMAC does not support. We want to hear from you. We will compile the results and if there is enough interest, we may design a system.

Component failure (such as a gearbox, compressor, hose or cooler core) can leave metal filings and other foreign materials in the system. To flush the system, follow this procedure:

1. Before replacing any failed component, check all other system components for evidence of contamination and clean as thoroughly as possible. Use compressed air to blow out lines and other components.
2. Once the system has been cleaned as thoroughly as possible, replace the failed component and reconnect all lines and fittings.
3. Install a new oil filter and fill the system with VMAC compressor oil to the correct level.
4. Start the truck engine and engage the air system. Allow the system to pressurize and operate without using any air for about 15 minutes without discharging any air.
5. Shut down the system and allow it to cool. Change the oil, oil filter and coalescing element. Refill the system with VMAC compressor oil to the correct level.
6. After 50 hours of use, replace the oil filter and top up the oil level.

VMAC has redesigned the Accessories Brochure to include updated specs, photos and part #s. Please contact VMAC if you wish to receive copies of the brochure.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by our booth at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Atlanta. It was great seeing you all. We are going to do something a little bit different for you at next year's show in Indianapolis. It should be great fun! Give us a heads up if you are planning on coming to the show. Stay tuned for more information.

The national average price for a gallon of diesel rose 2.3 cents to $2.92 for the week ending May 14, according to the Energy Information Advministration. This marked the seventh straight week of diesel price hikes, with prices having risen 35.5 cents since the week ending March 26.

All regions reported an increase - except for California, the region in most need of relief at the pumps. There prices fell a modest 0.2 cents to $3.242, but California still held its claim to being the most expensive region for a fill up.

The New England and Central Atlantic regions tied for posting the larges increase, with both up 3.1 cents to $3.003 and $3.014, respectively. Bargain hunters would still be happiest at the Gulf Coast, with $2.829 per gallon price of diesel, after a relatively modest 1.5 cent increase.

VMAC is happy to welcome Tod Gilbert (a.k.a. The Tod) to the Engineering Department. Tod joined us on March 13th after moving out from Kingston, Ontario. Tod has his B.Sc. (Eng) in Mechanical Engineering and M.Sc. (Eng) in Materials & Metallurgical Engineering, both from Queen's University. Prior to gaining work experience in ceramics and laser technology, Tod was the Project Manager for the Queen's Formula SAE Race Car Team, where a team of students had to design, build and race a new car for the annual University Race.
