A compressor is a device intended for compression and subsequent supply under the pressure of compressed air or another gaseous medium.

Today, screw compressors have almost completely replaced other types of similar devices (centrifugal, axial, jet, piston) due to the use of a reliable screw unit. On the modern market of construction equipment, there are many models from different manufacturers. And the most common brands (SULLAIR, ABAC, ALUP, VORTEX) abound with a variety of series.


The principle of operation of the screw compressor consists in the rotation of two interconnected rotors located in an oil base, which, in turn, performs the role of not only an air seal, but also cooling and lubricating all parts of the substrate device. Thanks to this, the compressor works quietly, indefinitely and does not require special care. Modern models are equipped with rotary frequency regulators, which allows you to save electricity or diesel fuel. They buy the reliability and high performance of similar compressor units.



Before buying a diesel compressor http://gk-sk.ru/kompressory/dizelnye/ it is important to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the receiver. The capacity of the installation depends on its volume. Also, in order for the automatic mode of functioning to be possible, a control unit must be included in the set. Such a beneficial addition will clearly make the "life" of the operator easier, and reduce labor costs by an order of magnitude.



The type of drive used in the compressor installation is important. Belt drive is the easiest to operate, but differs in low efficiency, rapid wear and loud noise compared to other screw models. Much more useful work is performed by compressors with a direct or gear drive, however, they are not regulated, and repair work is very expensive and requires the intervention of specialists.

If the screw compressor will be located directly in the workshop, then you need to choose a stationary model, to which a strong metal sound-absorbing casing is attached. Compact portable compressors are suitable for production work in various rooms.

A series of compressors with a built-in filtration system for cleaning compressed gas from oil particles and other pollutants are quite popular. A similar unit provides the supply of environmentally clean compressed air.

Oil-free compressor units are often used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Some work by means of dry compression, but due to the lack of heat dissipation, these models overheat quite quickly and have lower productivity. Others, filled with water instead of oil, have combined the advantages of dry and oil compressors, and they are also cheaper.

During their stay on the market, various types of screw compressors have found use in almost all industrial sectors, and have earned well-deserved popularity and trust there.
