Which Quietcore+ models are stackable?
To maximize mechanical room floor space, you can stack an A-dec QuietCore+ vacuum on an SC3plus, SC5plus, or SC7plus QuietCore+ air compressor. You can also stack an SC3plus, SC5plus, or SC7plus air compressor on top of another SC3plus, SC5plus, or SC7plus. (Do not stack anything on QuietCore+ compressor models SC10plus or SC12plus.)
Can I run a mill with an A-dec air compressor?
Certain mill units are compatible with the QuietCore+ air compressor, including the E4D Planmill and other models that use a low volume of air at normal dental pressure settings. It's important to check with A-dec Customer Service about compatibility.
Many air-driven mills require much larger volumes of air, at higher than normal PSI minimums, than is typical for dental operation. Additionally, the compressor's duty cycle rating must be compatible with the mill's operating time to prevent premature failure of the compressor.
What is the operating PSI range of A-dec oil-free air compressors?
The operating PSI for QuietCore+ compressors is 86 to 106 PSI.
What maintenance does the A-dec QuietCore+ dental air compressor need?
QuietCore+ air compressors need a service kit once a year. The dryer media cartridge should be replaced every 5 years. Contact your dealer to get a service kit.
