Compact rotary range

Built on a common platform, the new R-Series 5-11kW compressors are available in 5-11kW with flows 8.1 to 57.5cfm and pressures to 200psig on fixed speed units and 145psig on variable speed drives.

Davor Horvat, product manager for contact-cooled machines at Ingersoll Rand, EMEA, says: "The compact design of the R-Series makes it the ideal workplace compressor with a 20% reduction in footprint and sound levels as quiet as a dishwasher.”  

With the application of V-Shield technology, the leak path and connections on the R-Series compressors have been reduced by more than 15%. The technology ensures all critical fittings are secured with o-ring face seals in a method that is nearly free from distortion. Leaks are virtually eliminated and performance isn’t sacrificed, regardless of how many reconnections are made. Leaks are also reduced by the use of PTFE braided, stainless steel hoses for all oil-carrying lines.

Other features include:

•  totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motors that have a premium IE3 efficiency 

•  simple design and fewer components, reducing maintenance

•  large, convenient electronic controls and a digital output display come standard to support easier programming and operation. components when maintenance and service are necessary. To further optimise its performance in limited workspaces the drive components are mounted on an Ingersoll Rand vibration isolation system reducing noise pollution and vibration.
