Designed for stable, energy-efficient performance, the uni t provides 5.0–30.5 m³/min of oil-free air at 40bar pressure, meeting ISO8573-1 Class 0 air quality standards. The compressor offers several significant advantages, Adekom says. Its first-stage water-injection screw compressor provides lubrication, cooling, sealing, and noise reduction, ensuring 100% oil-free air without requiring special discharge water treatment. Food-grade stainless steel is used throughout the system, including the screw air end casing and pipelines, ensuring compliance with environmental and industry standards. Corrosionresistant, these stainless steel components are also intended to enhance durability and to ensure a long service life, while the use of water as a lubricant helps absorb compression heat, maintaining low operating temperatures and minimising wear on components. To maximise energy efficiency, the system incorporates a permanent magnet frequency inverter drive, which offers a wide regulation range and reduces operational costs. Additionally, a fully automated waterchanging device allows lubrication water replacement without halting operations. Advanced digital control is provided by a PLC system, enabling centralised automation and monitoring through a single interface. With cloud-based monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities, the compressor is ready for remote operation and management. Established in 2003, Adekom has built a strong reputation as a leading compressor manufacturer in Asia, with two decades of experience serving the food and beverage industry. The company’s expertise and commitment to innovation have positioned it as a trusted supplier in the competitive PET bottle-blowing sector. www.adekom.com.hk Support through the SMI Machinery Beijing service office Since 2001, SMI has been constantly committed to providing Chinese customers with fast and efficient local support to meet the requirements of a rapidly evolving market.
