Oil-free high-pressure compressor series launched
Adekom introduces KSP series high-pressure compressor for bottle blowing
Adekom, a well-known Asian compressor manufacturer, has unveiled the KSP series screw+piston tandem high pressure compressor. This system features a skid-mounted combination of a first-stage oil-free screw compressor and a second-stage oil-free piston booster, designed to provide stable and energy-efficient performance.
The KSP series delivers 5.0 – 30.5 m³/min of oil-free air at 40 bar pressure, meeting ISO8573-1 Class 0 air quality standards, and operates continuously on a 24/7 basis, says Adekom.
One of the key advancements in the KSP series is its completely oil-free operation. The system incorporates a water-injected screw as the first stage, which serves multiple functions, including lubrication, cooling, sealing, and noise reduction, all while delivering high-quality oil-free air. The company says that no special treatment for the discharge water is required to meet environmental protection requirements.
The food-grade stainless steel construction of the screw air-end casing, star wheel bracket, and entire pipeline ensures that the system remains oil-free.
The KSP series boasts enhanced reliability due to its use of corrosion-resistant food-grade stainless steel components. The lubrication water absorbs compression heat, allowing the compressor to run at lower temperatures. This temperature control is claimed to extend the machine’s operational life and to improve overall reliability.
Energy efficiency is another focal point of the new system. Equipped with a permanent magnet frequency inverter drive, the KSP series offers a wide range of regulation and minimises energy consumption.
Additionally, maintenance has been streamlined, with fewer consumables, lower costs, and an automatic water-changing device that allows water replacement without stopping the unit.
The system is remote control-ready, featuring advanced PLC technology that ensures full digital control and automation. Cloud-based monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities further enhance operational efficiency.
With two decades of experience in the food and beverage industry, Adekom claims to design every compressor from the ground up to meet the high standards of quality and performance for the PET industry.
