Screw Air Compressor AFLATEK Screw75VSD

Oil-filled screw compressors are used extensively in industry, and are favoured for their large capacity, relatively quiet operation and flexibility. The latest innovation with these machines, besides the technical aspects of air-end design, is the use of variable speed drives to modulate compressor speed and hence capacity. It is tempting, particularly when making machine replacements, to buy the newest technology available. Running a screw compressor unloaded for extended periods of time is therefore inefficient, since energy is being consumed with no benefit in terms of compressed air production.

In addition to potential energy savings, there are further benefits to VSD compressors. They can generally be operated with smaller air receivers - many sites where no receiver is used at all.

A VSD compressor is a smart choice when demand for air varies by process, time of day, shift or time of the year. When demand fluctuates, a VSD compressor that varies its speed is much more energy efficient than a fixed-speed compressor that can only run flat out.
