Oil free range
September 1st 2007 WR Pressings suspected that its
existing compressor had seen
better days and called in
compressed air specialists,
Thorite, to give its system a health
check. Thorite carried out a datalogging
exercise and reported that
the old compressor was highly
inefficient. Thorite advised
replacing the compressor with a
new, energy efficient HPC variable
speed compressor, complete with
a new dryer and filtration system to
improve compressed air quality.
The HPC compressor selected,
model BSD 72 SFC, automatically
speeds up or slows down to match
its compressed air output to the
varying demand from WR
Pressings' pneumatic machinery at
any given time, rather than
constantly running at full output.
OIL FREE RANGE
"Ultra clean compressed air with
minimal maintenance" – today's
most frequent request, Bambi
believes that it has delivered this
with its VT Range of oil free
compressors. With noise levels
starting as low as 54 dB(A) these
compressors can be sited near the
working area without causing noise
nuisance.
Internally coated air receivers
both protect against corrosion and
ensure hygienic quality air. A
solenoid soft start valve prolongs
the pump's durability, allowing the
compressor to be stopped and
restarted at any point in its cycle,
which coupled with the individually
polished and coated cylinder walls
ensures ultra long pump life.
At the heart of the VT range is a
rugged, efficient Vee Twin Pump
unit which is 100% oil free in
design and available in motor sizes
from 0.55kW to 3.0kW. The high
performance duplex models have a
soft start device to enable them to
run comfortably off a standard 20A
power supply.
To compliment this new range,
Bambi has developed an air dryer
system, available on every model.
With an integral multi row aftercooler
and integral coalescing filter
removing 99% moisture solids from
the air before it enters the stainless
steel drying tower Bambi achieves
a Dewpoint of -40°C. Because the
air dryer is fitted before the air
receiver the need to drain the
receiver is eliminated. More articles from Bambi Air Compressors Ltd: |
