The RIX MicroBoost is a very compact oil-free motor-driven booster compressor that can fill gas cylinders to 2,200 psig.

Although built and cleaned for oxygen service, the booster can be used for other gases as well. The MicroBoost at 20 SCFH fills out the very small end of RIX's oxygen booster compressor line.
