The Quincy 60.9 CFM rotary screw compressor delivers a combination that matters in a busy shop: 60.9 CFM at 71 dBA with a 100% duty cycle. That output is enough for demanding air tools and applications such as media blasting and production spray equipment, while the relatively low operating noise makes it practical to locate closer to the work area. Its compact airend uses gear drive, and the package includes a TEFC IP55 motor, Wye-Delta reduced-voltage starting, and synthetic lubricant rated for up to 8,000 hours. Note: the unit measures 74" × 30.7" × 72.2" and weighs 1,184 lbs, so verify delivery access and installation clearance.
The gear-driven airend eliminates belts that require tensioning and can gradually lose efficiency as they wear. For continuous operation, that direct power transmission works alongside the 100% duty-cycle design to provide steady compressed air throughout the working day. A spin-on fluid filter, low-oil shutdown, hinged service doors, and detachable panels simplify routine maintenance. The package also includes an aftercooler to reduce discharge temperature and remove bulk moisture before air enters the shop system. Note that manufacturer records differ on whether this exact configuration includes an integrated refrigerated dryer, so confirm the current factory configuration before ordering if a built-in dryer is essential.
This compressor is well suited to busy multi-bay repair shops, fabrication facilities, and light-production environments where several air-consuming tools may operate throughout the day. It can also make sense for shops that already have downstream dryers and filtration and want a compact, quieter compressor package. The unit requires 208–230/460V three-phase power; Quincy does not publish a fixed amp draw or breaker size for this build, so a licensed electrician should size the feeder and disconnect from the actual nameplate and installation conditions.
The Air Dryer Question on This Part Number
There is an important discrepancy in the published data for this package. The manufacturer's feature list identifies an “Integrated Refrigerant Air Dryer,” and the description previously published on this page also described an integrated dryer. However, the specification table lists “No” in the Air Dryer field.
We will not resolve that discrepancy by choosing the more attractive answer. If an integrated dryer is important to your purchase, ask us before ordering and we will confirm the configuration against the current factory order sheet.
What the specification table does confirm is an aftercooler. It cools the compressed air as it leaves the airend, allowing a significant amount of bulk moisture to condense before the air enters the downstream system. That is useful moisture control, but it is not equivalent to a refrigerated air dryer and should not be represented as one.
If your shop already has a refrigerated dryer and appropriate filtration installed on the header, the built-in dryer question may not affect your decision. Either way, confirm the configuration before ordering rather than discovering the difference after delivery.
Gear Drive and Continuous Running
The airend uses a gear drive, transferring power from the motor to the screw element through hardened gears operating in the compressor's lubrication system. Unlike a belt-driven transmission, there are no drive belts to tension or matched belt sets to replace.
For a compressor expected to operate continuously, that arrangement removes one common source of routine drive maintenance. A deteriorating or slipping belt can gradually reduce transmission efficiency without producing an obvious failure, while a properly maintained gear drive provides a direct mechanical connection between the motor and airend.
The rest of the package follows the same continuous-duty philosophy. Premium synthetic lubricant is specified for up to 8,000 hours, helping support long service intervals and controlled oil carryover. The motor is TEFC with IP55 protection, providing protection appropriate for demanding industrial environments.
Wye-delta reduced-voltage starting helps limit starting current and reduce the electrical impact of motor startup. A low-oil shutdown provides protection for the engine and pump, the fluid filter uses a spin-on design, and the hinged doors and detachable panels provide access for routine service without requiring extensive disassembly.
Will It Fit, and Can Your Building Feed It?
The package measures approximately 74 inches long × 30.7 inches wide × 72.2 inches high and weighs approximately 1,184 lbs.
This is a relatively tall package rather than a particularly wide one, so check the full delivery route before the compressor arrives. Measure door openings, ceiling height and any overhead obstructions along the route from the unloading point to the final installation location. Once positioned, leave adequate working clearance around the service panels.
The receiver outlet is 1 inch, so size the downstream distribution piping appropriately from that connection point.
The electrical configuration requires particular attention. This is a 208–230/460V, 3-phase machine with a magnetic starter included. Quincy does not publish an amp draw or recommended breaker size for this model; both fields are listed as “Consult Certified Electrician.”
We will not substitute an estimate for the manufacturer's specification. Have a licensed electrician size the service, feeder and disconnect from the actual nameplate and installation conditions before delivery.
Perfect For
-
Busy multi-bay service shops that need the compressor located within the working facility rather than isolated elsewhere.
-
Fabrication and light-production operations with sustained, all-day compressed-air demand.
-
Shops with existing air treatment, including dryers and filtration, that want the compressor and receiver supplied as a single package.
-
Industrial facilities that already have compatible three-phase electrical service.

What's Included
According to the manufacturer's feature list and specification table, the package includes the gear-driven QGS-20S rotary screw compressor, Infologic2 Basic Controller with display panel, TEFC motor with IP55 wash-down protection, 132-gallon horizontal receiver, aftercooler, air filter, pressure gauge, oil sight glass, magnetic starter, low-oil shutdown and spin-on fluid filter.
An electronic drain valve is not included.
The refrigerated air dryer remains the disputed item described above. Until we confirm the current factory configuration, treat the dryer as unconfirmed rather than assuming it is included.
Shipping and Delivery
This unit ships by freight to addresses within the lower 48 states, with the current freight cost calculated at checkout based on your delivery address.
We deliberately do not publish a fixed shipping figure because freight rates vary by destination and carrier. At this size and weight, unloading needs to be planned before shipment. Confirm that your location can accommodate the delivery, with a suitable loading dock or forklift with adequate capacity, or arrange pickup from the carrier's terminal if necessary.
Because the package is both heavy and relatively tall, check the unloading area and the entire route to the installation location before it ships. Residential deliveries are subject to an additional residential fee.
Inspect the shipment carefully before signing the delivery paperwork. Check the crate, receiver, panels, gauges and exposed components for visible damage. If you find damage, document it and have it recorded on the bill of lading while the driver is present.
Warranty
The recorded standard warranty is 1 year for consumer use and 1 year for commercial use. An extended 3-year factory warranty is available, and the True Blue 5-Year Warranty applies when the unit is commissioned through a Quincy-authorized startup, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
Because authorized startup is a condition of the extended coverage, arrange it as part of the installation rather than afterward.
If a fault develops, shut the machine down and contact us before dismantling or attempting repairs. Opening the compressor can make it more difficult to establish the cause and timing of a failure and may affect warranty eligibility. Keep the unit intact until the claim has been evaluated and you have been advised on the appropriate next step.
