The QRS 10 150 BM is a 10 HP rotary screw compressor designed for 100% continuous-duty operation without the cooldown cycles required by piston compressors. Its base-mount configuration separates the compressor package from the receiver, giving you the flexibility to connect it to storage that fits your existing air system. With approximately 34 inches of length and 375 lbs. of weight, it is substantially easier to place in tight-access areas than a comparable tank-mounted unit. The compressor runs on 208-230/460V 3-phase power and delivers 35.2 CFM at 150 PSI. Note: the listing contains conflicting information about whether a 132-gallon horizontal receiver is included, so confirm the exact factory configuration before ordering.
The load/no-load control with timed shutdown unloads the compressor when demand stops and powers it down after an idle period rather than repeatedly starting and stopping the motor. That control strategy helps prevent short-cycling and suits shops where air demand continues throughout the workday. The UL, cUL, and CSA-approved control panel uses a NEMA 1 enclosure, while the vibration-isolated assembly helps reduce transmitted vibration when the compressor is installed on a suitable mounting surface. Maintenance is also straightforward: both the oil filter and air/oil separator use spin-on elements, making scheduled service faster and less involved than systems requiring more complicated element replacement.
This QRS 10 150 BM is a practical choice for automotive shops expanding an existing compressed-air system, especially when a receiver is already installed elsewhere. The base-mount format also makes sense for mezzanines, plant rooms, basements, narrow access routes, and other locations where moving a large tank-mounted compressor would be difficult. It can also work well in redundant compressor installations, where multiple machines share a larger receiver to maintain air availability during servicing. With a 66 dBA sound level and compact footprint, it gives facilities more flexibility in deciding where the compressor itself belongs.

Approvals, Stated Plainly
The listed approval applies to the electrical side: a UL, cUL and CSA approved control panel in a NEMA 1 enclosure. This is a panel approval, not a certification of the complete machine.
No pressure-vessel registration is stated for this configuration. If your jurisdiction, insurer or plant safety program requires vessel documentation, confirm it with us before ordering so we can request the correct manufacturer documentation.
Shipping & Delivery
Palletized freight to the lower 48, with live shipping rates calculated at checkout. At 375 lbs, plan for a forklift, loading dock or carrier-terminal pickup. Residential delivery carries an additional fee.
Inspect the enclosure, cooler fins and base rails before signing. Photograph any damage and record it on the bill of lading while the driver is present. Damage documented at delivery is much easier to claim than damage reported afterward.
Warranty
1-year standard warranty, with a 5-year term available when the machine is commissioned by a factory-authorized startup, typically billed at $350.
For base-mount installations, authorized commissioning can also verify the complete installation, including the receiver, piping and drain.
If you need to make a warranty claim, do not open the airend, separator housing or control panel first. Contact us while the machine remains assembled.
