OverviewThe TORNADO AC160 is a PTO-driven screw compressor designed to blow drag-hose system hoses empty. Its high continuous capacity eliminates the need for cleaning balls. For situations requiring very thorough cleaning or long-term storage, the compressor can be used together with the PW121 to pump a few cubic meters of water into the hose; the AC160 then blows slurry and water out, leaving the hoses fully clean and ready for storage.
