Higher output from air compressors
Abac's new compressors are extremely efficient producing a much higher output than that previously achieved, providing very low power consumption.
Single system for compressed air supply
Genesis Plus provides a cost effective, single source solution for applications requiring the production of high quality compressed air.
With capacities ranging from 0.51 to 41.95m3/min, the Alup Allegro delivers a constant air pressure that is easily controlled to meet the changing operating or shift requirements of modern factory or workshop environments.
Matching output with demand, the new compressors minimise excessive over pressure in the air generation, thereby reducing energy consumption and associated costs, ie leaks.
In contrast with conventional screw compressors, these savings can reach a staggering 35%.

20% cost savings from variable speed compressors
Following its recent acquisition of ALUP Kompressoren GmbH, ABAC UK Ltd is launching a new range of variable speed compressors, which have been developed in conjunction with Danfoss.
The Alup Allegro's direct-drive and variable-speed technology is further complemented by the use of highly efficient air ends, coupled with a high efficiency IP-55 H rated motor to generate a constant air pressure of between 5 and 13bar.
As a result of the unique wide range of models in the Allegro series, a greater choice of capacities is available, allowing the customer to select the correct model for their needs and thus take maximum advantage of the variable-speed concept, therefore realising maximum energy savings.
While discussing the new variable-speed air compressors, Nick Poole, Director at Abac, noted that the extensive Alup Allegro range meets a variety of operating specifications.
"The direct-drive arrangement, unique variable-speed technology and the use of a high-efficiency motor give the Allegro a significant performance advantage over competing technologies.
More importantly, with 16 models to choose from, you can optimise the whole concept of variable-speed technology by selecting the compressor(s) that best suits your air pressure and pattern of use, thus avoiding the typical cost penalties usually associated with overpressurisation, underperformance and inefficient controls".
With motor powers ranging from 16 to 260kW, the flexible Alup Allegro range is able to meet the needs of most industrial, process and manufacturing compressed-air applications.
What's more, with air ends offering excellent efficiency throughout the entire working range and a unique electronic control system that can be used to monitor, record, adjust, shut down and start up multiple machine installations, the Alup Allegro variable-speed air compressors are as flexible as they are efficient.
