How Rotary Screw Compressors Work

Our rotary screw industrial air compressors use two interlocking screws to compress incoming air. As the screws rotate, air volume decreases, increasing pressure. Compressed air exits the system ready for use or passes through a dryer for moisture removal. Systems are available in oil-flooded and oil-free configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a compressed air system?

A compressed air system includes a compressor, air storage tank, dryers, filters, and piping. It supplies pressurized air to power pneumatic tools and equipment. These systems are used across different industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas, and construction.

 

What size air compressor do I need for my job site?

Compressor size depends on air tool requirements and total air demand. For larger operations, an industrial portable air compressor with higher cfm and psi ratings may be required. Our team can recommend the right unit based on your tools and workload.

How do industrial compressors improve energy efficiency?

Industrial compressors are designed for maximum energy efficiency. They maintain steady pressure and reduce waste by adjusting to air demand. Regular maintenance and proper sizing also help improve performance and reduce power use.

What’s the difference between rotary vane and screw compressors?

Both are used in industrial solutions, but they operate differently. A rotary screw compressor uses two interlocking screws, while a rotary vane compressor uses a rotor with sliding vanes. Rotary screw models are more common in large-scale use, but rotary vane compressors offer solid energy efficiency for specific jobs.
