The Lubricated Rotary Vane Series air compressors are engineered to meet the most stringent of specifications. Their compact, simple, robust and integrated design allows them to be fitted anywhere undercover. They are easy to install and maintain as well as extremely quiet. They are designed for a wide variety of applications including automobile, body shops, wood working, dentistry, laundry, packaging and machine tools.
1. Gardner Denver has over 150 years of industrial innovation and is a global manufacturer of industrial air compressors.
2. V/VR Series compressors are all direct drive driven with a shock absorbing coupling system. This eliminates the need for speed increasing gears and over tensioning belts.
3. No matter what the compressor size or horsepower V/VR Series compressors run at a conservative 1750 rpm. While the same size rotary screws compressors run from 2500 to 9000 rpm.
4. V/VR Series compressors have 2-shell type bearings that allow 100,000 to 150,000 hours of real running time. This is not a B-10 or L-10 bearing failure life rating, but true running hours in your facility.
5. V/VR Series compressors have no axial forces generated by the pump. With no axial forces present the need for complicated at preloaded bearing configurations are eliminated. The cost to rebuild an RSU (rotor stator unit) is greatly reduced to that of a rotary screw style compressor.
6. V/VR Series compressors never experience loss of performance as they age. In fact, V/VR Series’s performance improves overtime. With all cast iron components and Meehanite iron vanes. V/VR Series compressors carry up to a 5-year warranty against defects in material or workmanship.
7. V/VR Series compressors have the most advanced control system on today’s market. With this system air pressure can be held to a 3–5 psi range with no costly external components. The system has an instantaneous control adjustment to the changes that are taking place with your air needs.
8. V/VR Series features all the control systems as standard equipment.
9. V/VR Series compressors have the lowest oil carry over. With only a 2 ppm. oil carryover. V/VR Series uses a multilevel internal separation system before the vapor is ever introduced into the separators. This increases their performance and their life.
10. V/VR Series compressors have the smallest footprint in the rotary screw industry. Combine that with our proven technology and 21st century performance and nobody can match our product line!
Each and every part that goes into a Gardner Denver compressed air system is tested and approved by our world-class engineering team. Pirate parts do not meet OEM specifications and often create costly operational problems that the provider has no capability to resolve.
Energy consumption makes up about 86% of the cost of purchasing and running an air compressor for the initial 5 years. Using the right parts and getting them replaced at the right time prevents energy waste in producing the amount of compressed air needed by your operation. Dirty and inferior filters tend to increase the pressure drop, and energy across your compressed air system.
In addition to efficiency, inferior filters and separators are a huge factor in reducing the life expectancy of your air compressor. Inferior filters and separators allow more contaminants into your air compressor. Once those contaminants reach the vital air compressor components, the result can be anything from polluted, shorter-life lubricant to a total airend replacement.
Keeping your operation up and running is key. Our state-of-the-art production and warehouse facilities hold all the components needed to maintain your air compressor. On top of that, our distribution network is on the job 24/7, ready to get those parts installed on your equipment and get you back to maximum efficiency.
Gardner Denver rotary screw air compressors feature an industry-leading 10 Year Platinum Extended Warranty. The quality and performance of genuine parts, lubricants and consumables allow Gardner Denver to provide you with the peace-of-mind that comes with this warranty. Lower quality pirate parts have been proven less effective at protecting your compressor investment. Backing the product with the Platinum Warranty requires only the best parts - only genuine parts.
