Screw compressor for metal processing – Reliable steel mill compressed air for tough applications
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.
Requirements for Compressed Air in Metal Processing
Compressors for Machining and Forming
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 deliver compressed air in accordance with the relevant standards – purity classes in accordance with ISO 8573-1 can be achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions about Compressed Air in Metal Processing
Oil-injected screw compressors with a closed housing and appropriate filtration can handle 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 oil filters, air filters and oil separator elements are 4,000 operating hours. The SCC control system displays the maintenance status and provides timely reminders of due work.
Yes. SCC compressors are designed for continuous operation. The generously dimensioned coolers ensure reliable heat dissipation even at high ambient temperatures and long running times.
