Two-in-one compressor reduces footprint, lowers costs

Introducing the manufacturer’s latest innovation in progressive air system technology – the new 2-in-1 compressor! It is the first of its kind featuring two independently operating compressors in a single enclosure. These new packages are available from 500-650 hp, and deliver flows from 1632-3002 cfm and pressures from 100-217 psig. Each unit incorporates two individual compressors including a motor, Sigma Profile airend, separator aftercooler, draintrap and filtration. Because each module is a complete compressor – and not just two airends stacked together – the unit provides maximum part-load efficiency, built-in redundancy, and reduced installation costs. The compressor units are started one after another to reduce inrush current and protect against network overload. Both compressor units have dedicated Sigma Controls connected via Profibus for energy efficient sequencing and fully automatic monitoring of critical operating and maintenance indicators.
