Rix SA-6 Users. To inform.
As of 1st July 2017 Rix Industries formally discontinued the Mil-Spec SA series breathing air compressors and Microboost oxygen compressors. Rix Industries USA have formally discontinued the supply of both these products and will refer all enquiries for new builds to HSM Engineering as of August 2017.
With regard to spare parts for the American market:
For the SA Series Rix Industies USA will provide spare parts up to and until 31st Dec 2022
For the Microboost (Direct Drive) Rix Industries will provide spare parts up to and until 31st Dec 2021
Thereafter HSM will take responsibility to provide spares
The Microboost will be replaced in the US with a belt drive unit in the near future but Rix Industries will no longer provide the Microboost as a direct drive unit.
HSM will continue manufacturing assembly and handling distribution of both the SA Commercial Series compressors in Europe and continue with the direct drive Microboost units together with 3 phase and variable speed belt drive commercial options.
The SA-6 will continue but with a new commercial part number designate and will be made available only as a commercial specification build. Further most part will retrofit the older discontinued SA Mil-Spec series discontinued models.
In addition to Breathing Air applications all new builds will be suitable for elevated oxygen concentrations Nitrox 40% (tested to 50%).
A model number designate change will be made and both will continue as a HSM product line together with Rix SA-6 and SA-3 air compressor spares. All new spares hereafter will be released without the incumbent Mil-spec designation and sold as commercial products only.
