EN12021 air quality requisites. The compressors mod. MCH-6 have been designed and built for the purpose of obtaining excellent quality breathing air by drawing it from the surrounding environment. The air, which must be free from any harmful fumes, is passed through an intake filter and, after the pumping and filtration cycle, is stored in bottles constructed to contain air at high pressure.
