Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Rotary screw compressors use two rotors to produce compressed air. This design discharges clean, dry air and is known to function quietly and more efficiently than other air compressor types. Liberty Systems offers a variety of rotary screw compressors to fit specific industrial needs.
How Rotary Screw Air Compressors Work
How a specific rotary screw air compressor works depends on the type. An oil-free or larger dry-running rotary screw unit, for example, uses timing gears to maintain the alignment of its rotors. The oil-free operation produces clean air, making it the perfect choice for high-purity air applications.
An oil-flooded rotary air compressor uses oil to lubricate the space between the rotating screws and facilitate smooth operation. The oil also cools down the machine and prevents overheating.
Rotary Screw Air Compressor Benefits
With their straightforward design and clean air output, even small rotary screw air compressors offer distinct advantages:
- Energy-efficiency: Rotary screw compressors generate less heat than standard air compressors. They also have the capability to adjust their operating speed to reduce energy costs while maintaining optimal function.
- Versatility: Rotary screw compressors can be used in a variety of applications regardless of their size. Whether stationary or compact, oil-free or oil-flooded, these machines are reliable compressed air solutions.
- Durability and reliability: Rotary compressors are built with longevity in mind, making them ideal for applications that require a continuous source of compressed air.
- Low-noise operation: The rotary screw compressor mechanism generates less friction and vibration, resulting in lower decibel levels and quieter operation than other compressor designs.
- Low maintenance: Rotary screw compressors have fewer moving parts than some other designs, which translates to them having a lower chance of mechanical failure. This characteristic reduces downtime and the need for frequent maintenance.
Rotary Screw Air Compressor Applications
Rotary screw air compressors have a wide range of industrial applications, including:
- Manufacturing
- Food packaging
- Construction
- Mining
- Oil and gas
- Hydrocarbon processing
- Pharmaceutical
- Medical research
