Are you buying the best rotary screw air compressor?

One among 4 industrial settings will need and use air compressors and the rotary screw air compressor is the most common type of the air compressor used. While there has been an increasing trend in the use of these rotary compressors there are several myths and/or ideas about the rotary screw air compressor.

A majority of them to do with winter season and the set backs with the use of them. Although simple and regular maintenance can resolve winter related issues with the air compressor systems.

You can select the best rotary screw compressor based on three criteria: Cost of the equipment: It gives an idea in helping you determine the value of the compressor. Take its cost to buy, sum it up to the cost needed to operate the compressor and then cost needed to maintain the same over say a period of 10 years or 15 years.

A rotary screw air compressor with the cheapest price may prove an expensive buy in the long run. Some sense here. Take for example; a large screw air compressor which costs you $400,000 every year for the power alone, going for a power-saving rotary screw air compressor could bring the operational costs to $320,000. that would still mean a whopping $80,000 savings. (the HP of rotary screw compressor and power costs taken at 375 KW compressor run 24 hours a day for 365 days and power costing $0.08 every KWH).

The power saving rotary screw compressors may seem expensive initially (if you look at the price of the equipment per se) yet they cost way less to own as well as to run for years due to the quality as well as technology they come in built with.

The compressor equipment made with corrosion-proof machine iron and built to last for 15-20 years, with microprocessor-based controlling for enhancing operational efficiency can actually be cutting the operational costs by over 15%. This excluding the power saver mechanisms that some of the compressors boast today on the market.

Then look for rotary screw compressor systems that have rotors with bigger diameter than the conventional compressors. Bigger diameters will translate to low operating speeds thereby less wear of the moving components. This will add to the longevity of the compressor besides reducing operational costs.

So if you want to buy the best rotary air compressor go shop around the web and take a good look at the cost, as I aforementioned the initial cost of the compressor, operating and maintenance costs, cost for power, service costs (which include price for regular maintenance and cost for replacing parts) - you will arrive at power saving compressor that deliver quality air.
