Have you ever wondered how Eastwood develops some of its most innovative signature products? In this series – Prototype to Production – we’re opening up the doors to our R&D department to reveal their backstories, from first inspiration to final production.
In this installment, our R&D manager Mark shares the story of the QST 30/60 scroll compressor with quiet scroll technology. Like so many of Mark’s ideas, it started while he was working in his home garage, frustrated by the inability to isolate the noise and vibration of a standard reciprocating-style air compressor. Listen and watch as he walks through the development of the company’s first incredibly smooth and silent scroll-style air compressor.
