“Built for Australian conditions, Pilot Air’s Variable Speed Rotary Screw Compressors deliver efficiency, durability, and performance you can rely on.”
Why they are worth the investment
Pilot Air has engineered the most efficient and reliable variable speed rotary screw air compressor on the market. The development is centred on the two stage rotary screw design and permanent magnet motors with IE4 efficiency class and direct transmission system. Combined with our latest generation air ends and advanced login controller system uses experience next level energy efficiency, quiet operation and elite reliability.
The inverter is pre-installed in the electrical panel and regulates the electric motor and air end speeds. It continually adjusts the airflow, eliminating current surges and dramatically reducing operating cycles. This all reduces energy wastage, consumption, and costs, which is a big deal in today’s energy market.
When we compare ALTA-TEC variable speed two stage rotary screw air compressor to a single stage compressor with the same volume flow over a period of 6000 working hours per year with a 70% duty cycle, the acquisition investment can be recouped within 24 months from installation.
The ALTA TEC two-stage range features models from 110- 315 kW in size. Contact Pilot Air for a model that suits your requirements.
