Description
GENERAL
Powerex Scroll Enclosure Air
Compressors are designed to supply
continuous oil-free air by using the
most advanced scroll technology. These
turn-key packages are extremely quiet
and offer electronic control that will
reduce electrical power consumption.
The Powerex Oilless Rotary Scroll Air
Compressor has advanced scroll com-
pressor technology through the devel-
opment of a completely oilless unit.
The Powerex Scroll Compressor offers a
dynamically balanced air end which
insures vibration-free operation. The
rotary design permits a continuous
100% duty cycle. No oil separation, oil
filtration, or inlet valves are required
on the Powerex Scroll unit. The com-
pressor is virtually maintenance free.
