Oil free compressor
Gardner Denver has added the WH35 model to its range of high pressure, reciprocating compressors used in PET bottling plants. It promises an oil free air solution from a compact footprint, with energy savings of up to 20%.
With a capacity of 2,120m3/hour at 40 barg, the three-stage WH35 utilises a water cooled, shaftless motor suitable for use with variable speed drives. It is said to reduce energy consumption significantly, while maintaining a constant working pressure.
Trevor Perry, product director for high pressure solutions at Gardner Denver, says, “The new machine fills a key gap in our range between 1,800 to 2,300m3/hr, which was identified through direct feedback from our customers.
“We wanted to develop a compressor that would not only be able to withstand the harshest of environments, but also adapt to the increasing demands for greater energy efficiency.”
