The purchase of screw compressors for the enterprise allows solving several problems at once: reducing the cost of electricity, installation and maintenance, as well as saving space in production. The price of such a compressor, at first glance, may seem rather high, but it is more than covered by the existing advantages of the installation. How to choose a screw compressor , what are its advantages - read on.
Benefits and features
Which compressor should you buy? First of all, you need to find out how many pieces of equipment will be connected to the pneumatic system, as well as calculate the total load. Based on the figures obtained, a model of a certain power is selected. Consider possible air losses - it is advisable to purchase an installation with a performance margin of at least 20% of the total demand of the connected equipment.
Why is it recommended to install screw compressors? What are the benefits they have? First of all, the units are very economical: electricity costs are 30% less in comparison with other pneumatic units. The programming of the unit also helps to reduce costs through rationality of use.
Installation and maintenance will also save you a decent amount of money. The absence of long water and air channels allows the unit to be placed in a small room, and for its installation, just a flat surface is enough. Maintenance of the screw block will not be required too often: its operating resources are about 50 thousand hours, and control is necessary every 2-4 thousand hours.
A significant advantage of the screw compressor is its ability to work around the clock. The only condition is that the temperature in the production room should not drop below + 5 °. The advantages also include the almost silent operation of the installation.
