Screw Air Compressor

A Screw air compressor is a kind of positive displacement compressor that mainly compresses air by using a rotary-screw displacement-type compressor. It is employed for furnishing compressed air for several processes in industries. The actual operation of the compressor is based on encircling the air in between two screw-shaped rotors or helical screws that rotate in opposite directions. The air is progressively compressed as the screw turns along the length of the rotors and is then discharged at a higher pressure.

Rotary screw air compressor do not use valves or any other force to cause imbalance; therefore, they offer the highest speed with great stability. It also provided a large flow rate as the exterior dimensions were small albeit a large interior dimension in the case of the Type IV. The first and perhaps the most obvious benefit is that a rotary screw compressor can deliver compressed air at a much steadier pressure than pulsating air supply. Also, screw compressors are known to produce comparatively less heat in the compressed air as compared to the other air compressors which also makes them more energy efficient. This reduced heat production does not only enhance the working capability of the unit but also extends the life span of the compressor since the operational pressure on the working parts is reduced.

Screw air compressor manufacturers, suppliers, exporters in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Screw air compressors are positive displacement compressors. The most common rotary air compressor is the single stage helical or curved lobe oil flooded screw air compressor. These compressors consist of two rotors within a casing where the rotors compress the air internally. There are no valves. The oil in these products generally seal the internal clearances and is cooled by air and water via the use of oil coolers.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ'S)

Screw air compressors offer silent operation, minimal noise, constant airflow, high efficiency, minimal maintenance, and a compact design.

Screw air compressors have use in a multitude of sectors, such as electronics, construction, food and beverage, automotive, and manufacturing.

Regular maintenance entails cleaning and changing air filters and oil filters (for oil-injected models), monitoring oil levels, inspecting belts, and ensuring appropriate cooling.

Consider requirements such as airflow (CFM), pressure (PSI), duty cycle, energy efficiency, as well as an oil-injected or oil-free type is required for your application's air purity.

A screw air compressor should last fifteen to twenty-five years or longer with proper maintenance, depending on usage and operating situations. Cleaning it and following the manufacturer's instructions can help it last longer.

When selecting an air end, consider:
  • Air flow requirements: Check that the air end has the required capacity to deliver the required air flow rate.
  • Pressure requirements: Ensure that the air end is properly matched to the operating pressure that is required.
  • Efficiency: Select models that claim to be efficient to minimize costs of energy consumption.
  • Maintenance: One has to consider how easily a furnace and its equipment can be maintained and the overall cost of this maintenance.

Effective filtration is very important in separating and purifying various substances to the required standard and standard for their use. These serve the purpose of purifying water intended for enhancing quality of air, safeguarding machinery and engines from degradation, as well as promoting the health and comfort of human and working environments.

If the situation remains unchanged after the change of intake filter, this indicates that other complications like leakage, faulty parts or system failure might be the root cause. It is recommended that one should probably carry out a thorough inspection or seek advice of a professional in this issue.

  • Unusual Noises:
    •  Squealing, grinding or a humming like noise. Vibration: High vibration level, which could be a sign of its imbalance or misalignment condition.
  • Overheating:
    •  Abnormal excessive heating of the motor casing to the extent of being uncomfortable to touch.
  • Reduced Performance:
    •  The motor has problems starting or sustaining the speed.
