Direct Drive Rotary Screw Compressors

The HPC KAESER fluid-injected direct drive rotary screw compressors offer energy-efficient technology in every component. The direct drive rotary screw compressor series provides a solution to virtually any compressed air requirement and ranges from 18.5 kW up to 315 kW. All models comprise of an energy-saving 1:1 direct drive, where the motor drives the airend directly without transmission loss via a maintenance-free coupling.

Configurations of the direct drive series include:

  • For integration in an air station: the base model
  • With an integral refrigerant dryer for high quality compressed air: T versions (ASD, BSD, CSD, CSDX, and DSD series)
  • With variable speed drive for maximum efficiency and wide control range: SFC models
  • As integrated solutions with integral refrigerant dryer and variable speed drive: T SFC versions (ASD, BSD, CSD, CSDX, and DSD series)

The direct drive rotary screw compressors are ideal for AEP customers looking for a compressed air solution for industrial applications. Contact our team today for more information on the correct size and model that perfectly matches your requirements.

Save up to 96% energy and reduce your CO² footprint with our 'Heat Recovery' compressed air solution

Your rotary screw compressor converts 100% of the drawn electrical energy into heat. It is possible for up to 96% of this energy can be recovered.  The fully-enclosed design of modern rotary screw compressors makes them well suited to this process.  Both fluid injected and oil free compressors can be used.

Advantages of our heat recovering technology include:

• Reduced Energy Costs:
Energy costs can account for up to 80% of life-cycle costs over the lifetime of a compressor. By using heat recovery, these costs can be significantly reduced

• Reduced CO2 Footprint:
Heat recovery lowers the CO2 emissions of an organisation because energy is utilised more efficiently
