Screw compressor: A solution suitable for all applications

One of the reasons why screw compressors are widely popular is their versatility. In fact, there is a suitable screw compressor for each application. Atlas Copco offers screw compressors equipped with three types of frequency converters, each with its own advantages.

Belt drive: These compressors are very sturdy and durable, and are easy to install and maintain. Furthermore, their initial investment cost is outstanding among screw compressors. This combination makes it an ideal choice for small-scale jobs.

Gear transmission: Gear transmission makes the compressor quieter. The investment is higher than that of belt drive, but it is also more energy-efficient. Therefore, if you frequently use the compressor, this investment will pay off over time as it can save energy.

Direct drive: This demonstrates the outstanding level of screw compressor technology. The innovative direct drive mode features high efficiency and good performance. Among these three types (compressors), the noise they generate is relatively small. Direct-drive screw compressors come in various types - from the basic design of small models to those equipped with high-efficiency variable-speed drives.
