Kaishan Scroll OX series air compressors

Demands from industry to reduce energy costs, improve reliability and provide a safe working environment have created the need for a viable alternative to the piston-type air compressor. While the piston-type, reciprocating air compressor has been the workhorse for workshops and smaller industry applications, they can be somewhat inefficient, expensive and noisy in operation.

Kaishan’s Scroll, fixed orbit, lubricated range of advanced compact air compressors can provide benefits over the conventional piston-type compressors. Scroll technology has produced a compact air compressor with direct drive and dynamically 3D balancing that delivers quiet, stable and energy-efficient performance, which is claimed to far outstrip equivalent piston type, reciprocating machines.

With the added benefit of continuous load capability and an integral after cooler to reduce moisture carryover, the scroll compressor can provide a compressed air supply with lower energy bills. The dynamically balanced, non-contact, fixed orbit technology can also result in longer element life.

Unlike old piston technology, the scroll compressor includes an advanced digital control panel for ease and safety of operation. This provides operators with monitoring capabilities for all key compressor functions, fault detection and protection, and service due alerts.

Scroll OX series air compressors can provide higher output ratios to energy input and with fixed orbit direct drive there are zero transmission losses and no need to oversize the compressor to manage load cycles. The direct drive configuration also means there are no drive belts to wear and replace.

The scroll compressor is now available as a fully integrated, tank-mounted system complete with large 500 L receiver tank and optional built-in refrigerated dryer and air filter unit. This plug-in, ready-to-use compressed air system can save on independent component purchase, installation costs and floor space while efficiently delivering ample clean air for all applicable industry applications.
