Used Sullivan Palatek Plant Support Equipment for Sale

Sullivan Palatek was founded in 1984 in Michigan City, Indiana, originally as Palatek Corporation, an engineering services provider to the air compressor industry. In 1998, parent company GHS Corporation merged Palatek with Sullivan Industries, a portable air compressor manufacturer, creating the Sullivan Palatek name and combining electric and diesel compressor operations under one roof. In 2008 the company opened a purpose-built 160,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Michigan City where it machines its own rotors and airends and assembles complete compressor packages.

The core of Sullivan Palatek's product lineup is its SP Series of electric-driven rotary screw air compressors, spanning from compact models up through the SP16+, SP20+, SP25, and SP32 Series covering 75 to 450 HP. Each series is available in fixed-speed and variable frequency drive (VFD) configurations, and all are built around Sullivan Palatek's own precision-ground airends. Complementing the compressors is a full line of refrigerated air dryers, including the SPRF cycling and non-cycling series, along with desiccant dryers, filters, and condensate management systems. The portable diesel side of the business covers the D185, D210, D260, and D375 tow-behind rotary screw compressors for mobile and construction applications.

Sullivan Palatek equipment serves a broad range of end markets, including general manufacturing, automotive assembly, aerospace, metal fabrication, plastics processing, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronics fabrication, and construction. The company's refrigerated air dryers are specifically engineered for environments where moisture control is critical, making them a natural pairing with the electric compressor packages in plant-air systems across these industries.

Buyers seeking used Sullivan Palatek rotary screw air compressors and refrigerated dryers are drawn to the brand's reputation for heavy-duty construction, energy-efficient operation, and long service life. The company manufactures its own airends rather than sourcing them from third parties, which contributes to consistent performance and strong parts availability through a nationwide distributor network. VFD-equipped models retain particular appeal on the secondary market because of their documented energy savings, and the straightforward mechanical design of the SP Series keeps maintenance costs predictable well into a machine's second decade of service.
