Composition of rotor coatings should be a consideration for food and beverage processors who are considering oil-free rotary screw air compressors. Among other benefits, effective rotor coatings help ensure efficient operation by protecting rotors against high temperatures and corrosion, reducing air friction and reducing wear.

Is a variable speed drive (VSD) air compressor the best solution for applications where demand fluctuates? It’s important to realize that not all variable speed drive compressors are the same.

Mobilair M500-2 has a pressure range of 60 to 150 psig and is powered by a 600 hp Caterpillar C18 diesel engine that meets Tier 4 Final exhaust emission standards.

Kaeser Sigma frequency control 45, 55, 75S, 90S and 110S compressors include SynRM motor-drive combinations that have an IES2 classification.

The Atlas Copco ZR 90-160 VSD+ oil-free rotary screw air compressor is equipped with 2 permanent magnet motors that provide automatic variable synchronization of the independently driven air ends.

Kaeser CSG-2, DSG-2 and FSG-2 oil-free, 2-stage rotary screw air compressors cover flows from 192 to 1,774 cfm and pressures from 45 to 145 psig.

Testing methods for food-grade lubricants have improved to predict and determine more accurately the actual lifetime of a compressor oil change—which may be better than previously expected.

Nestle's heat recovery system helps cut costs of heating process water.

Leaks. They’re everywhere, and they’re insidious, sucking energy from your assets and robbing your bottom line.
