Upgrade delivers energy improvements
With the launch of the new DX90-160 (RS) series, COMPAIR has extended its range of DX, oil-free rotary screw air compressors. They are said to offer up to 14% improvement in energy efficiency and up to 9% higher flow compared to industry standards.
The range has been designed to offer best-in-class energy performance, excellent reliability and reduced lifecycle costs – in an oil-free compressor which is class zero certified according to ISO 8573-1:2010. This means there is virtually no risk of contamination in the production process, making it ideal for applications where high levels of air purity are essential.
The new range includes fixed and variable-speed models from 90 to 160kW, and includes 7.5, 8,5 and 10.5 bar pressure variants.
Compressor rotor surfaces can deteriorate over time, so the airend is protected with UltraCoat, an advanced rotor and housing protection process with excellent adhesion properties and temperature resistance.
Maintenance has been considered at every stage of the airend design. Its rugged bearing design eliminates the need for balancing pistons, helping to reduce complexity and service costs. Internal oil lines also eliminate the risk of leaks, while reducing the number of hoses and piping for simpler and quicker maintenance. ■
