Mattei patents new technology
March 27th 2008 Mattei Compressors' 100 Series Rotary Vane Compressor is the result of several years of intense research and development from Mattei’s engineering and design team.
The new 100 series is a development from the successful 200 series and is available in 1.5kW, 2.2kW and 3kW. It has been developed to fulfil a market requirement for an industrial solution that is easy to use with low operating costs.
The Research and Development Team at Mattei has developed the unit to meet this requirement so comprehensively that it resulted in the creation of three additional patents for the new product.
“The investment in time and money has been substantial,” explains Dr Giulio Contaldi, Mattei’s head of Research and Development. “One of the main goals was to reduce the number of components in the machinery. For this reason, we engineered a new design, leading to several significant changes from the 200 series. The reduction and simplification of parts will further add benefit by significantly reducing the maintenance costs.”
Although intended as a cost effective solution the 100 series will still offer many beneficial features as standard, such as safety thermostats for both motor and oil temperature, a built in pressure gauge, an integrated oil radiator and a visual oil level indicator. The compressor will be mounted on either a 90 or 200 litre air receiver, depending on client’s individual requirements and its price will be comparable to that of a high quality piston compressor. The Mattei unit will however, provide the added advantage of operating more quietly and more efficiently
“The new 100 series is an affordable industrial compressor, perfect for either continuous or intermittent working cycles” adds Andy Jones, General Manager of Mattei’s UK subsidiary based in the Midlands. “It is a perfect solution for workshops, craftsmen, small companies and any business which has moderate and autonomous compressed air needs”.
