A rotary vane air compressor When the rotor spins, the centrifugal force pushes the vanes against the inner surface of the housing, creating compression chambers. As the vanes move outward, the chamber volume increases, drawing in air from the intake port. As the vanes move inward, the chamber volume decreases, compressing the air and forcing it out through the outlet port.

rotary vane compressors The Rotary Vane Principle

The heat generated by compression is controlled by pressurised oil injection. The only continually moving part is the rotor, which is directly driven at very low speed (1450rpm), offering unrivalled reliability. The main benefit of this technology means that vane compressors last for a very long time and are an extremely reliable & proven technology.
