Screw compressor for metal processing – Reliable steel mill compressed air for tough applications

Metallverarbeitung

Metalworking companies place special demands on their compressed air supply. Flying sparks, metal dust and high ambient temperatures put a strain on machines and components. SCC air compressors offers robust screw compressors that deliver stable compressed air even under these conditions – for precise machining processes and reliable continuous operation.

Challenges

High ambient temperatures in continuous operation

Compressed air stability for precise machining

Dust and particle exposure in the work area

Energy requirement for long running times

Robust technology for multi-shift operation

Constant volume flow for pneumatic tools

Our solution

Oil-injected screw compressor for demanding environments

SCC air compressors develops oil-injected screw compressors that are designed to meet the requirements of metal processing and metallurgy. The compressor stages operate at stable pressure ratios – typically at 8 or 10 bar – and deliver a constant volume flow for tools, machines and control systems. The robust design enables operation even in environments with increased dust exposure and temperature.

Energy-efficient compressed air generation

Speed-controlled compressors automatically adjust their output to the current air demand. This reduces energy consumption when demand fluctuates and avoids unnecessary idling phases. For applications with a constant air requirement, fixed-speed compressors offer an economical alternative. The SCC control system records all relevant operating parameters and enables connection to higher-level systems.

Water-injected screw compressors or scroll compressors are available for sensitive areas where oil-free compressed air is required. These technologies supply compressed air in accordance with the relevant standards – purity classes in accordance with ISO 8573-1 can be achieved.

FAQ

Oil-injected screw compressors with a closed housing and appropriate filtration can cope with environments with increased dust exposure. Regular maintenance of the air filters is particularly important in such environments.

CNC machines require a stable working pressure without major fluctuations. Speed-controlled compressors keep the pressure constant and automatically adjust the output to the consumption.

The maintenance intervals for the oil filter, air filter and oil separator element are 4,000 operating hours. The SCC control system displays the maintenance status and reminds you in good time when work is due.

Yes, the SCC compressors are designed for continuous operation. The generously dimensioned coolers ensure reliable heat dissipation even at high ambient temperatures and long running times.
