FIXED SPEED COMPRESSORS

Unlike traditional screw compressors, the design, construction, and lack of thrust forces unique to Mattei rotary vane compressors, do not need or require the use roller or thrust bearings that wear over time. 
Mattei compressors feature oil-lubricated white metal bushings that allow the compressor shaft to spin effortlessly on a thin film of lubricant. This means that the rotary vane compressor shaft and blades are NOT subject to wear over time (typical operation exceeds 100,000 hours). Pressurized lubricant is injected to support the shaft journals and seal the compression cells while preventing metal-to-metal contact and maximize isentropic efficiency.

The high-efficiency air/oil separation system ensures high quality air with a residual oil content of less than 3 ppm w/w in the compressed air.

Fixed-speed lubricated air compressors are offered in the following Series:

• BLADE belt-drive: 5-15 HP/4-11 kW: compact, low-cost version designed for light-duty applications
• RVD: 10-15 HP/7-11 kW: heavy-duty, sophisticated designs for any industrial grade application with unrivalled energy efficiency levels.
  
  RVD 30-55: easy to handle, robust and versatile, and are the perfect solution for small and medium-sized companies and small craft businesses.
• BLADE direct-drive: 20-30 HP/15-22 kW: heavy-duty, sophisticated designs for any industrial grade application
• Classic ERC: 5-60 HP/4-45 kW: traditional, rugged, compact, open-frame design ideal for confined areas
• AIR CENTRE: 30-60 HP/22-45 kW: heavy-duty, sophisticated designs for any industrial grade application
• MAXIMA: 40-200 HP/30-160 kW: heavy-duty, premium designs for industrial grade applications
