ROTARY VANE COMPRESSORS — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ARE ROTARY VANE COMPRESSORS OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY?

No. Mattei has been manufacturing rotary vane compressors since the 1950s, building on over 100 years of compressor engineering (founded 1919). The technology has been continuously refined — most recently with patented Xtreme Injection Technology, developed in partnership with the University of Milano and validated through peer-reviewed research published in IMechE and ASME journals.

DON'T ROTARY VANE COMPRESSORS WEAR OUT QUICKLY BECAUSE THE VANES ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH THE STATOR?

This is one of the most persistent misconceptions in the compressed air industry. In a well-engineered rotary vane compressor, a hydrodynamic thin film of lubricant — just 7 to 30 microns thick, roughly the width of a human hair — separates the blade tip from the stator wall at all times. 

WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A ROTARY VANE COMPRESSOR AND A ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSOR?

Both are positive displacement compressors, but they differ fundamentally in design and sealing:
A rotary vane compressor uses a single rotor with sliding vanes inside a cylindrical stator. As the rotor turns, the vanes create chambers that decrease in volume, compressing the air.
