Why should I buy a rotary screw compressor?
Unlike piston compressors, in screw air compressors, there are no valves or other mechanical forces that can cause unbalance. This allows a rotary screw compressor to operate at high speeds while combining a large flow rate with small exterior dimensions. The ideal applications of rotary air compressors are continuous, workplace and industrial applications. There are two primary versions, oil-free and oil injected, with options of fixed speed or variable speed drive operation.
The main benefit of rotary screw compressors is their energy efficiency. But this type of compressor has many other benefits. These include:
- continuous operation at temperatures of up to 46 degrees C
- low oil-carryover (as little as 3 ppm) in oil-lubricated machines
- zero loss of capacity over time low noise output
- small footprint for point-of-use installations
- no duty cycle
