Agricultural Air Compressors
The Brüder brand was introduced to fill a gap in the agricultural market as a compressor built especially for the purpose of harvest machinery blowdown. Built with features that Australian farmers have asked for and further developed off the back of real-world field testing, Brüder compressors are a practical, safe, and reliable air compressor that are resilient and inspire confidence.
We recognise that grain harvest blow-down is arguably one of the most demanding tasks* for portable air compressors and are proud to have developed the only purpose-built air compressor for agriculture.
*This is based from these factors:
- Australian grain harvest happens during hotter months of the year.
- Dust and airborne particles are a large risk factor.
- Hazards relating to flammable crops.
- Farm properties are too harsh for many trailer-mounted machines.
- Blowing off machinery has very little back pressure - i.e. compressor valves wide open with no restriction.
To combat this, and bring to market a machine perfectly tailored to the job, Brüder have developed the AG176 - our most popular model - which is purpose-made for the job. This machine has the following key features;
- Clever in-cabinet airflow design which optimises cool air flow and separates hot zones with the effective use of a firewall.
- Integrated cabinet baffle system which excludes the largest airborne debris particles.
- Effective air filtration system for better engine/compressor breathing and heat management.
- Engine management via electronic controller.
- Insulated cabinet for safety (sound) and heat management.
- Top exit exhaust to prevent crop fires starting from the compressor.
- Road-registerable heavy duty trailer with off-road tyres, high ground clearance, checkerplate surfaces, and a spare as standard^
- Higher flow rate compressor with 1/3rd more capacity than needed to run the highly effective Force 5 Megablaster blowgun - which provides it's own back pressure.
^Deluxe trailer only. Brüder have since released the standard trailer which is a lighter, unbraked version. See this page for details.
Other features of the AG range apply to the AG176, AG250, and GP388:
- EUROPEAN made, and mounted to Australian made trailer.
- 3 year warranty, regardless of hours run.
- Very high build quality.
- Excellent service and warranty support.
- Steel canopy with access to all user serviceable parts.
All of our compressors have been made for use in Australia's high-ambient harvest temperatures and hot climates. They thrive during extended use in less than ideal environmental conditions.
