Design

EndurAir™ Quality

Our advanced screw compression elements are designed, developed and then manufactured in our advanced manufacturing facilities in Germany and Finland, using the latest CNC rotor grinding technology, coupled with on-line laser measurement, in order to maintain precise manufacturing tolerances. The resulting reliability and performance ensure that operating costs will remain low throughout the compressor’s life.

The new design of the high efficiency airend operates at low rotational speeds, reducing energy consumption, wear and tear, increases reliability, improves service life and most importantly reduces your operating costs.

  • EndurAir™ Housing. Fewer parts results in less opportunity for leaks to develop
  • Advanced Rotor Profile. Shortened sealing line and minimal air “slippage” means lower running costs
  • O-Ring Seal. Highest quality positive sealing for years of trouble-free operation
  • Dedicated Thrust bearings. Provides total support for both vertical and horizontal forces placed on each rotor
  • Multi-Lip Shaft Seal. Keeps the lubricant in and the dirt out for maximum seal performance and life
