Vimodrone, 15 March – Superior performance, eco-sustainability, energy savings, high-tech content and innovative control, cooling, and lubricant recovery systems. These are elements that characterise the RVD and RVDi compressor series; the latest releases from Mattei. The Innovation & Industrialization department of the Milan-based company designed the range to maximise efficiency, minimise energy costs and contribute to the fight against global warming.
A prototype was presented to the public at the Hannover Messe, streamed to the sales network and demonstrated in person to Italian distributors.
The RVD 37 i model will be the star of the show from 25-28 March, at Global Industrie in Paris, the internationally renowned trade fair that brings together numerous industrial sectors in a single exhibition. You name it; from industrial subcontracting to industry 4.0, from production technologies and equipment to solutions and equipment for sheet metal processing and surface treatment, from machine tools to robotics, from welding to the tool industry, from measurement and control systems to 3D printing. At last year's edition in Lyon, the event registered over 2,300 exhibitors from 38 countries and almost 40,000 visitors. 
The RVD and RVDi series use Mattei-patented rotary vane technology with zero-wear vanes and bushings, and these are the first machines to feature Mattei's latest innovation: isolated cooling with oversized radiators. This is a system that, by separating the radiators from the rest of the components, allows for lower temperatures inside the bodywork and keeps them cleaner. In addition, they are equipped with easily accessible panels to carry out cleaning operations safely and effectively, in maintaining the radiators in dirty hostile environments.
The machine on display at the event will be equipped with the 7" Maestro XC touchscreen controller, compliant with IIoT and Industry 4.0 requirements, for remote monitoring and management of the system through the free Mattei Cloud.
The innovations and benefits of this range are numerous and in keeping with the high technological profile of the latest generation of Mattei products. In addition to isolated cooling, the RVD 30 – 55(i) series includes a quick-disconnect fitting for depressurising the delivery line, located in a convenient position on the machine, to which a blowgun hose can be connected to also serve for easier maintenance. It also comes with a separate air-intake line that improves performance and extends the life of the two-stage filter element, guaranteeing financial savings. Other features include Xtreme communications tech and maintenance-free lubricant recovery technology, which optimises energy efficiency, and reduces recirculation losses whilst improving air quality. Finally, the series is equipped with a pumping unit with integrated oil filter rated for 5,000 hours and an air/oil separator filter that has a 10,000-hour lifespan that is directly coupled to the motor shaft, which guarantees low noise and eliminates the efficiency losses found in competing belt or gear driven transmissions.
Whilst all this equipment comes as standard, further additional options are also available: a water-cooled version, the addition of a moisture separator and condensate drain, the possibility of installing a heat recovery system, an oil quality sensor, an IE4 motor for maximum energy efficiency, as well as a version with integrated refrigerant dryer.
The RVD and RVDi ranges are robust and reliable and benefit from the Mattei MyCare 6 extended warranty plan that covers all service and repair costs for six years.
