Extremely low sound and vibration All models come standard with Kaeser’s superior cabinet that features complete metal enclosures with sound proofing liners and heavy-duty vibration isolation. As a result, our compressors are about 10 dB(A) quieter than conventional compressors of equal performance. Parallel cooling design Separate air inlet zones for the compressor coolers and drive motor ensure optimum cooling and performance. Drawing ambient air directly across the coolers and motor through separate zones eliminates preheating and results in longer lubricant life and a cooler running...

On our 3 - 25 hp compressors, we use a space saving v-belt drive design. Kaeser models include a unique automatic v-belt tensioner that maintains optimal efficiency and prolongs belt life. These models offer simple maintenance and the flexibility of changing working pressure with an easy field modification. SX Series SK Series SM Series AS Series Certified Performance Our compressors’ energy efficiency has been tested and confirmed by an independent laboratory as part of the Compressed Air and Gas Institute’s Rotary Screw Compressor Performance Verification Program.

ASD - HSD and SFC Direct Drive Compressors On larger units from 25 to 700 hp, we use only true direct drive, providing maximum power transfer and efficiency from motor to airend. Because we make more sizes of airends, we can run them at lower speeds than smaller, gear-driven units. This design has fewer components, eliminates heat and drive losses, and reduces maintenance and related downtime.

Sigma Frequency Control Unmatched performance Kaeser Sigma Frequency Control combines the latest in Siemens drive technology with our Sigma Profile airend and Sigma Control system. Our engineers have optimized the airend design to accommodate a wide flow range with unmatched efficiency. The drive motor and airend operate at low speeds, resulting in exceptional reliability and long life. Kaeser’s SFC units range from 8 to 515 kW and are incredibly quiet, with noise levels as low as 67 dB(A). SFC models from 8 to 132 kW are also available with integrated dryers. Integrated System Design Even...
