Professional-Grade A/C Service Made Simple
The Robinair 34288NI combines simple operation with superior accuracy to deliver professional results in every service. This R-134A recover, recycle, and recharge machine is engineered for shops that demand precision without complexity. Whether you're servicing passenger cars, light trucks, or fleet vehicles, the 34288NI recovers, recycles, evacuates, and recharges mobile A/C systems quickly and accurately.
Built to outperform SAE J-2788 standards, this machine recovers more than 95% of refrigerant from a vehicle's A/C system and charges to better than ±1/2 oz accuracy of the programmed charge amount. The 4.3-inch graphical LCD display provides clear, multilingual operation guidance, while the automatic air purge eliminates system-damaging air without requiring you to monitor gauges or open valves manually.
With its 1.5 CFM vacuum pump, 22 lb internal tank capacity, and 150 lb filter capacity, the 34288NI is designed for high-volume shops. The integrated refrigerant management system tracks refrigerant use and monitors remaining filter life, prompting you when service is needed. The automatic oil drain feature displays a reminder to empty the graduated container and shows exactly how much oil to replace, streamlining your workflow and reducing guesswork.
