When it comes to compressed air systems, one size rarely fits all. Every facility has unique air demands and as such, requires a customized compressor system to ensure peak performance and efficiency.
Every facility has different demand profiles, operating conditions, space constraints, and energy priorities. That’s where Quincy compressors from NCA Ltd. stand out. Not just for their reliability, but for the sheer range of configurations and technologies available to match your exact application.
From fixed speed to variable speed, air-cooled to water-cooled, and compact systems to full industrial packages, Quincy gives you the ability to optimize performance while minimizing energy costs.
Let’s break down how.
The Power of Choice: Matching the Compressor to Your Demand
Compressed air is one of, if not the most expensive utility in a facility. The biggest mistake companies make is installing a compressor that doesn’t match their actual demand profile.
NCA Ltd. solves this by offering Quincy compressors with multiple product families designed for different operating conditions. Below, we will explore a number of these product lines and how they can benefit your facility.
QGS Series – Simple, Reliable Fixed Speed Performance
The QGS line is ideal for operations with consistent air demand.
These units shine in shops and facilities where air usage is steady because they run at full capacity efficiently, they offer low upfront cost and dependable performance.
All QGS units from 5 horsepower to 30 horsepower are belt driven and include an auto tensioning device that provides ease of maintenance and long belt life. All QGS units from 40 horsepower to 100 horsepower come with a gear driven transmission. QGS models have quick change filter and separator designs that minimize downtime and reduce labor costs associated with machine maintenance. They also have extremely low sound ratings allowing the machines to be placed close to the manufacturing floor.
QGSV Series – Variable Speed Efficiency for Real-World Demand
Most facilities don’t run at 100% demand all day. That’s where QGSV variable speed compressors come in.
Instead of running at maximum capacity and unloading (wasting energy), QGSV units only produce the air you need, when you need it.
All QGSV units from 10 horsepower to 50 horsepower feature leading serviceability and efficiency. All QGSV models feature direct drive airends, have low sound levels, small footprint and a low cost of ownership.
The result?
QGD Series – Heavy-Duty Fixed Speed for Industrial Applications
The QGD lineup bridges the gap between entry-level and premium systems.
These compressors are built for tougher, more demanding environments where reliability and uptime are critical.
All QGD units from 15 horsepower to 60 horsepower feature industry leading efficiency and serviceability. All QGD models have low sound levels, small footprint and the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry.
QSI Series – Premium Performance, Maximum Configurability
The QSI Series is a rotary screw compressor that combines around-the-clock dependability with one of the most efficient airends in the industry.
QSI units are engineered for maximum ROI, offering a wide range of options to tailor the system:
Oversized rotors, low RPM, and the patented Power$ync controller option, ensures maximum air production using minimal horsepower which equals bottom line productivity. Oversized coolers allow continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 115 degrees F. The QSI is an extremely versatile package that can be specially modified to meet almost any individual requirement.
Air-Cooled vs. Water-Cooled
One of the biggest advantages of Quincy’s lineup is cooling flexibility.
Air-Cooled
Water-Cooled
Choosing the right cooling method can significantly impact operating costs and system longevity.
Fixed vs. Variable Speed
Energy is the biggest cost in compressed air, often accounting for up to 70% of lifecycle cost. That’s why the choice between fixed and variable speed matters.
Fixed Speed (QGS, QGD)
Variable Speed (QGSV and beyond)
If your demand fluctuates, variable speed can deliver massive long-term savings for your facility.
Built-In Flexibility = Lower Total Cost of Ownership
What really sets Quincy apart is how these options combine. The ability to build a system that matches your air demands while remaining efficient is crucial.
You’re not just buying a compressor, you’re building an entire system:
This modular approach allows you to:
✔ Avoid oversizing
✔ Reduce installation complexity
✔ Improve system efficiency
✔ Scale as your facility grows
Quincy Compressors Work for Your Facility, Not the Other Way Around
Whether you need a simple, reliable unit or a fully engineered compressed air system, Quincy’s lineup gives you the flexibility to:
From the versatile QGS, to the efficient QGSV, to the industrial-grade QGD, and the fully configurable QSI, Quincy offers solutions that don’t just produce air, they optimize your entire operation.
