Haskel Model AGD-30 Air-Driven Gas Booster

Haskel Model AGD-30 Air-Driven Gas Booster

Double-Acting, Single-Stage Gas Booster (30:1 Ratio)

The Haskel AGD-30 is a double-acting, single-stage gas booster engineered to deliver efficient and reliable high-pressure gas boosting using only compressed air as the driving force. With a nominal pressure ratio of 30:1, this model is capable of achieving gas outlet pressures up to 9000 psig, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, testing, and pressure-charging applications. Its pneumatic-driven design eliminates electrical requirements and ensures safe operation in hazardous or remote environments.
