What is a rotary screw compressor?

11 Mar.,2024

 

Rotary screw compressors are by nature of their compression technology energy efficient. Because energy costs make up the bulk of the expenses related to compressing air, this makes them a great investment.

In addition, screw compressors are built specifically for long lifetimes of reliable use. That makes them a great choice for operations that require (close to) continuous compressor operation.

Other advantages include that rotary screw air compressors do not require a lot of maintenance and are very versatile. In addition, they are relatively quiet. That means that screw compressors can be installed closer to the point of use without violating noise standards. This is important for workshops or other small businesses with limited space.

There is one other reason why you can now find rotary screw compressors in virtually all industries that rely on compressed air. They come in different forms and sizes. For example, there are screw compressors with belt drives, gear drives and direct drives. In addition, there are dry-running and oil-flooded compressors. In other words, no matter what you need, there is a rotary screw air compressor for you.
