Compressed air gamechangerEfficiency as a success factor: shaping the future with AERZEN technologies
High-tech compressors from AERZEN
With the compressors of the series DS (oil-free, double-stage) and SI (oil-injected, single-stage) AERZEN offers powerful, flexible and economical solutions for compressed air generation up to 10.5 bar (oil-free) or 13 bar (oil-injected). The screw compressors are at home in all applications, processes and environments and score points with innovative compressor stages, state-of-theart motor technology such as permanent magnet motors (SI series), integrated VFD technology, smart control and an extremely compact design. Maintenance costs are low and sound pressure levels are minimum. Thanks to their high power density and reliability, the packages make a significant contribution to reduced life cycle costs and ensure noticeable savings. “Compressed air generation is connected with high energy consumption and is therefore a significant cost factor. At the same time, it offers an important lever for energy savings,” says Stephan Brand. The AERZEN Director Marketing & Director Turbo Business adds: “This is exactly where we come in with our solutions. Our compressors combine maximum energy efficiency with uncompromising reliability and support you on your way to greater efficiency and process reliability. They reduce operating costs, minimise downtime and enable significant increases in productivity. The savings potential can be maximised even further with integrated heat recovery systems.”
Safe and pure processes
If absolutely oil-free compressed air quality is not required for the downstream process, oil-injected SI series compressors impress with their optimum combination of performance, robustness and economy. In many processes, however, there is a strict zero tolerance for contamination. In order to reliably exclude impurities in the compressed air - such as dust, moisture, oil particles or microorganisms - it is essential that the compressed air generation and treatment systems are seamless and carefully designed and installed. These include oil-free compressor stages, reactive silencers without absorption material, PFAS-free coatings and perfectly matched filter systems.
Home game for the DS compressors from AERZEN. Our DS compressors are completely oil-free in accordance with ISO 8573-1 Class 0, and PFAS-free, guaranteeing 100% product purity. Sound attenuation is achieved by means of interference methods. This process eliminates the need for absorption material. Thanks to the purity of the medium, contaminations in the machine are also prevented. There are no pressure losses caused by deposits in the machine, which reduces cleaning and maintenance costs. The pressure losses that occur in every compressed air application remain constant over the entire service life.
Compressed air systems for every challenge
Whether DS or SI: all AERZEN compressors are designed for continuous operation with minimum maintenance costs. The robust construction and service-friendly design
ensure high machine availability - even in demanding production environments. Even with high wind loads of over 200 km/h, at extreme heights (with correspondingly low
absolute ambient pressure), in highly dusty environments, in extreme climatic conditions or in earthquake-prone areas, the machines ensure a reliable compressed air supply. A comprehensive range of options and integrated modifications is available for targeted customisation to individual process requirements.
Professional compressed air treatment for optimum compressed air quality
However, the quality of the compressed air does not depend on the compressor alone. The decisive factor is the interaction between compression and processing. “Compressors work with the ambient air. The impurities it contains, such as steam, dust, oil particles or moisture, can have a negative impact on processes and must be reliably avoided - especially in applications where compressed air quality determines the success of production,” explains Stephan Brand, and he clarifies further: “Air conditioning is not a supplement, but a process-critical necessity. A correctly dimensioned compressed air treatment system ensures optimum air quality and forms the basis for maximum process safety, productivity and cost-effectiveness.”
AERZEN therefore offers a wide range of solutions for filtering, cleaning and drying the compressed air produced in the compressor. The product range extends from application- optimised filters to cyclone separators with almost 100% condensate separation, condensate drains with level control depending on the climate, temperature and time of year and day, and oil-water separators through to refrigeration and adsorption dryers, oil heaters and aftercoolers. All components are designed to secure product quality, extend the service life of machines and systems, minimise pressure losses, reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs and guarantee process safety. The systems are particularly effective in sectors with high hygiene requirements or sensitive processes. In addition to absolute cleanliness, precise regulation of air humidity is frequently also essential.
