Lubricated Rotary Screw Compressor L 160 - 290 kW
Fixed & Regulated Speed L160 to L290
New CompAir FourCore range balances two-stage efficiency with single-stage footprint
CompAir has announced the launch of its new 160 to 290 kW FourCore compressor range, combining best-in-class compressed air efficiency with a small footprint and sustainable design for eco-conscious businesses.
The FourCore range offers all the capabilities of a two-stage compressor, but with only the footprint of a single-stage unit. It therefore provides businesses – who might not have previously had the on-site space available – the opportunity to take advantage of the capabilities of two-stage technology. And when compared with previous single-stage compressors in this size range from CompAir, the new models are up to 8 per cent more efficient, offering a best-in-class oil-lubricated solution for decision makers.
Our application engineering team, based at the Simmern Centre of Excellence production site in Germany has designed and engineered a brand new, patented technology that offers best-in-class energy efficiency. They have developed a premium efficiency 2-stage model for fixed and regulated speed compressors using the new technology of the compact double stage airend. What’s unique about this design is that the airend has 1 motor and 4 rotors located in a single, semi-integrated casting. This differs from traditional 2-stage compressors, providing a compact package with high energy savings. In fact, these machines are the same size as a 1 stage machine due to new airend technology.
The Classic 160 to 290kW Range
The new E models are offered in addition to the well established existing large screw compressor range which has been offered over many years, with 1000’s of installations worldwide, continuing to power the larger volume air requirements of a diverse range of industries.
How Industry benefits from CompAir:
- Premium airend providing high reliability
- Automatic motor lubrication system for optimum protection
- Low installation costs thanks to the compact design
- High quality air
- Safe and economical operation
- Excellent accessibility contributing to the low maintenance costs
Improved sustainability throughout the entire product lifecycle
At the heart of these latest models is CompAir’s new GD10-DS airend, which is where the range takes its ‘FourCore’ name from. This compact, two-stage airend uses four gears rather than three, to deliver flexible rotor speed adjustment at both low and high pressures, as well as the best possible performance at different discharge pressures and shaft speeds. The new GD10-DS airend is semi-integrated, with the oil filter, check and temperature valves, and distribution system all integrated into the airend’s package. This results in less connections and pipework, minimising the likelihood of leaks and enabling easier servicing.
One of the smallest footprints in the market of 2 stage oil lubricated units
The core benefit of the new L160FC to L290FC range is that it delivers much greater efficiency than 1 stage compressors but comes in a German engineered package that is the same size as it! Users in a variety of industries benefit from an amazing, space-saving design that offer next level efficiency and performance.
