More than 50 years ago, Mattei helped establish the rotary vane compressor. Since then, vane systems have been widely used throughout the world.

Rotary vanes offer a unique blend of durability and mechanical efficiency, which is unmatched by any other type of compressor.

Though rotary vane compressors are popular in many industries, some professionals choose the traditional rotary screw design—mainly because they are instantly recognizable, and the buyer lacks critical information regarding modern rotary vanes.

  • Rotary vane compressors consume large amounts of energy.
  • Rotary vane compressors are prone to wear and need constant maintenance.
  • To operate efficiently, rotary vane compressors must run at high speeds.
  • Rotary vane compressors generate a lot of noise.
