Longer Lifespan

Rotary screw air compressors are designed for durability, with fewer breakdowns and lower maintenance needs, making them a reliable, long-term investment.

Rotary screw compressors are designed for a wide range of users across various industries and applications. They are powered by two counter-rotating screws that compress air as it moves through the compressor.

These units are designed for continuous use, capable of operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are known for their quiet operation, with noise levels around 60 dBA, and their efficiency in producing compressed air. This type of compressors are more efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to piston compressors, making them a great long-term investment for many industries.

Different types of air compressors

Rotary air compressors come in two primary versions: Oil-lubricated Screw Air Compressors and Oil-free Screw Air Compressors, with options for fixed speed, dual-speed or variable speed drive operation.

Oil-lubricated screw air compressors

Oil-lubricated compressors inject oil into the compression chamber, which cools and lubricates the compressor element, helps to remove the heat of compression, and minimizes leakage. These compressors are chosen for their continuous operation capability, low oil carryover, and minimal capacity loss over time. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial purposes.

Oil-free screw air compressors

Oil-free compressors do not use oil in the process, making them ideal for sensitive industrial applications where air purity is critical, such as in the food and beverage or pharmaceutical industries. These compressors still use lubricants for other processes, like motor cooling, but some variants use water as an alternative lubricant. Oil-free types are known for their reliability, efficiency, and ability to deliver the highest air purity at the lowest TCO.

Variable Speed compressors (VSD): VSD technology is ideal for operations where demand for compressed air fluctuates. These compressors adjust their operating speed to match air production to demand in real-time, offering energy savings of up to 60% compared to traditional fixed-speed compressors.
