The Blade family of compressors, the result of the experience of Ing. Enea Mattei SpA to meet the needs of small enterprises and handicraft firms now includes a new addition: Blade SE, the package version with tank and dryer.
Characterised by the small dimensions of the pump unit, that make the machine easy to install in small environments, the Blade compressor line exploits the exclusive vane technology: the extremely slow rotation speed conveys increased reliability, reduced energy consumptions and exceptionally silent performance. The basically unlimited duration of the vanes reduces and simplifies maintenance operations.
Compared to the other models in the range, stand alone and S with 270 litre tanks, the standard Blade SE is equipped with a cooling cycle air dryer. When installed upstream of the tank, this device reduces residual humidity in compressed air which can cause damage especially in certain applications. The air-drying process is boosted by the condensation separator, installed upstream of the dryer and is able to reduce the amount of water entering the cooling machine to a minimum.
“Whilst maintaining the small dimensions of the typical compressor used in the entire range, in the Blade SE version Mattei has added a component to the machine, the dryer, that generates higher performance and maximum output – explains Eng. Giorgio Fumagalli, Technical Director at Ing. Enea Mattei SpA – With Blade SE, therefore, the user has an extra advantage: he can store and have excellent quality compressed air at his disposal in just one single machine”.
With operating pressures from 8 to 13 bar, outputs from 4 kW to 11 kW and capacities from 0.6 a 1.7 m3/min, Blade SE reaches Dew-point values of 3°C.
“Blade SE is designed to favour improved machine operating conditions – states Eng. Giorgio Fumagalli – The cool air flows are conveyed so as to minimise load loss and allow all the components inside the drying apparatus to operate at the set project temperature”.
“Blade SE represents the maximum level of flexibility achieved by the Blade range, as it allows users to achieve excellent air quality, combined with maximum versatility of use: the compressed air supplied, with no humidity content, is stored directly in the tank and is ready for use, whenever the final user needs it” concludes Eng. Giorgio Fumagalli.
