CompAir is building on its reputation for continuous innovation with the launch of its new L50 lubricated screw compressor.
This is the first compressor to be designed using CompAir's cutting edge integrated modular design, which delivers a range of tangible benefits for customers including reduced energy bills, a smaller footprint and a noise level of just 67dB(A).
The new L50 is the best in class and is a significant addition to CompAir's lubricated screw product family.
Colin Mander, Director - Industrial Distribution UK, says: "Representing a new generation of air compressors, the L50 sets the standard in terms of efficiency, quality and reliability".
The L50 compressor delivers energy savings of up to 7.2%, achieved through a number of innovations, including slower rotation speeds in the premium air end rotors, intelligent controls and by fitting an energy-saving, high efficiency IP55 motor.
These savings equate to a cut in energy bills of up to GBP 1000 per year and a reduction in annual CO2 emissions of up to 9000kg, making a positive impact on both the bottom line and the environment.
With a noise level of just 67dB(A), well below the typical industry noise level of 90dB(A), it is easy to stand next to the compressor and have a conversation and there is no need for users to wear ear protection.
Coupled with the smaller footprint, this means that the compressor does not need to be relegated to a distant compressor house, but can be located right next to the point of use of the air if needed.
With the intelligent, fully electronic controllers giving efficient monitoring and a user-friendly menu, the new design is easy to use and it is being rolled out to CompAir's existing L30, L37, L45 and L45SR compressors.
Ease of maintenance has also been a key issue for the engineers at CompAir, witness the direct coupled system and a high performance separator filter which is easy to change thanks to a cleverly hinged cover.
The L50 is offered with CompAir's market leading Assure free extended warranty scheme.
Based on a "working when you are" approach instead of the yearly based industry standard warranty, the Assure programme provides complete peace of mind - up to 44,000 operating hours cover, providing the machine is serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule.
The Assure warranties are valid for resale across the globe.
