Why choose a fixed-speed rotary screw air compressor?

If your business runs on consistent, steady demand for compressed air, a fixed-speed rotary screw air compressor could be the perfect fit. These compressors are built for reliability, delivering a constant air flow without needing adjustments. Their straightforward design makes them easier to maintain. With a lower upfront cost than variable-speed models, they’re a budget-friendly choice for operations where air requirements stay stable.

The beauty of a fixed-speed compressor is in its simplicity and dependability. Businesses in industries like manufacturing, where workflows are consistent, often find fixed-speed models the most efficient option. With Pilot Air, you also get the added assurance of locally built quality, onshore technical support, and ongoing servicing, so your compressor stays reliable for the long haul. It’s a solid, no-fuss solution to keep your operations running smoothly.

The advantages of the electronic controller

The advanced electronic controller makes all the difference when managing your air compressor efficiently and effortlessly. It has features like four maintenance timers for key components such as the air cartridge, oil, oil filter, and oil separator, which ensures you stay on top of servicing to keep your system running smoothly. Add in the automatic restart after power failures, and you’ve got a system that’s not just smart but reliable, minimising downtime in critical operations.

The controller’s multi-function backlit display gives you real-time insights at a glance, including working pressure, oil temperature, total and on-load working hours, and even maintenance countdowns. Customisable settings like cooling fan temperature and remote start add another layer of convenience, while the integrated sequence phase display keeps everything in sync. With this level of control, your compressor operates at peak performance, saving you time, energy, and potential maintenance headaches.
