Compressor equipment

Compressor equipment is a type of energy machines designed to compress air to a certain pressure for further use for production purposes. It is a complex of technical devices combined into one unit, and there are different types according to the method of air compression. The Stancomplect online store offers for sale industrial screw compressor equipment, the most popular in any modern production, as well as components, assemblies and components for it.

Types of compressor equipment

Equipment for compressing air by reducing the volume of the working chamber using a screw mechanism comes in several types:

1. On the use of lubricants:
   • oil;
   • oil-free;
2. By number of screws:
   • single-screw;
   • twin-screw and so on;
3. By drive type:
   • with direct drive in the form of an elastic coupling;
   • with a belt drive, characterized by higher productivity and the ability to work longer without interruption.

The compressor unit may include a receiver for accumulating compressed air and a refrigerated dryer that removes moisture from it, which is especially important when using compressed air to power pneumatic tools.

Advantages of compressor equipment

Compressor equipment with a screw mechanism, which our online store offers to buy, differs:

• reliability, ability to withstand high pressure and work without interruption, in automatic mode without the presence of an operator;
• high efficiency (up to 98%) and excellent quality of compressed air with stable flow and even pressure;
• a large selection of models of different power and productivity (from 0.6 to 6.5 m3/min), with a wide range of operating pressure, which allows you to choose the appropriate unit to solve any production problems;
• economical energy consumption and high energy efficiency indicators;
• ease of operation and unpretentiousness to climatic operating conditions;
• no requirements for frequent maintenance - screw compressors can operate without it for quite a long time (about 4000 hours);
• low level of vibration and noise during operation;
• compact size and mobility. Screw industrial compressor equipment does not take up much space in the workshop. If necessary, it can be moved to another room, especially since the installation of many models does not require constructing a special foundation;
• large operational resource.

Features of choosing compressor equipment

To select the correct compressor unit, you must:

1. Count the number of compressed air consumers;
2. Based on the technical characteristics of consumers, determine the need for compressed air during their continuous operation.
3. Adjust the obtained value taking into account the average operating time of the pneumatic tool (20-60% of working time).
4. Take into account the synchronicity of the work of consumers. Since their simultaneous use is unlikely, the required compressed air consumption can be reduced by a factor of 0.95 for 2 consumers, 0.84 for 5, 0.7 for 10 and 0.66 for 15.
5. Take into account possible compressed air leaks by increasing the required flow rate:
   • by 5-10% – when connecting a worn-out tool;
   • by 5% – for a new pneumatic distribution network;
   • by 25% – for a worn-out network.
6. Provide a supply of compressed air taking into account the growth in the number of consumers in the future.
7. Select compressor equipment by comparing the calculated flow rate with the performance of the device, and the air pressure at the outlet of it - with the passport values of the operating pressure of consumers.

If compressed air is used periodically during the working day in small portions, it is better to choose equipment with a receiver so as not to constantly turn on the compressor. With continuous operation with short breaks, there is no need to overpay for storage capacity.

Areas of use of compressor equipment

Industrial compressor units can be used for the following purposes:

• supplying compressed air to pneumatic equipment, air lubrication of bearings and guides, cooling tools and machine tools in mechanical engineering;
• blasting in furnaces in metallurgical production;
• transportation of natural gas from wells and pumping it into reservoirs;
• inflating tires, connecting pneumatic tools and performing painting work at car services;
• carrying out sandblasting work and connecting tools used in the construction of buildings, structures, bridges, roads and utilities;
• blowing PET containers, transporting or mixing bulk solids, manufacturing and packaging food and beverages;
• drug mixing, drug manufacturing and packaging in the pharmaceutical industry.

In addition, screw-type compressor equipment can be used as part of a refrigeration unit to increase cooling capacity.

Features of pricing for compressor equipment

The main factors influencing the formation of the price of a compressor are:

• power and performance;
• the use of oil when operating the compression mechanism. Oil-free devices are guaranteed to produce purified air, but their parts are at greater risk of wear and tear and are made of expensive materials, which affects the price of the equipment;
• brand - compressors from well-known manufacturers are much more expensive because they are more durable and convenient to use.

Complete set of compressor equipment

The standard package of an industrial compressor unit includes:

1. Air filter;
2. Suction air valve;
3. Screw block;
4. Oil filter;
5. Support with vibration-damping pads;
6. Dual radiator/oil cooler;
7. Cooling fan;
8. Separator;
9. Oil tank;
10. Electric motor with protection level IP54 (IP55);
11. Control system;
12. Sound-absorbing casing;
13. Panel filter;
14. Automatic belt tension.
