Screw compressors are in great demand among companies that need compressed air in their production. It is in main demand in the chemical and food industries.
The principle of operation of the screw compressor mechanism has been known for over 120 years. However, it was first patented only in 1934. It began to be widely used only in the last 40 years. Previously, they were used only abroad and for domestic factories, their installation cost a significant amount. However, many enterprises follow the example of their Western colleagues and have learned to really save money.
During the installation of an imported screw compressor on domestic equipment, it is not always possible to avoid production failures. Therefore, it is more logical to use blowers made in your own country. Using installations such as screw compressors helps to save energy up to 30%.
One of the advantages of a screw compressor is ease of installation. For its installation, no special foundation is required and it can work near the oxygen consumer under pressure, while not creating vibrations and inconveniences. This significantly reduces the cost of purchasing and installing pipelines, as well as reducing the pressure in them.
High efficiency rates, many times higher than those of reciprocating compressors, have practically ousted their predecessors from the market.
Also, screw compressors are a huge improvement in terms of maintenance. All parts are completely made of practical materials that wear little. Therefore, one compressor mechanism can last up to 20 years without repair.
Screw compressors are available in oil and oil-free versions. Oil-injected compressors are characterized by smooth operation, quiet operation, low friction coefficients and fast heat dissipation. Oil-free are used in cases where there is a strict ban on the content of oil in oxygen.
