Direct driven rotary screw compressors

Product catalog summary
Overview: The POLAR series comprises direct-driven rotary screw compressors ranging from 75 to 250 kW, designed to meet modern industrial compressed air demands. These compressors operate at pressures of 7.5, 10, and 13 bar and are available with continuous flow control via an inverter drive (VS version).
Specifications: The compressors are equipped with high-efficiency electric motors (IP55 protection, Class F insulation) and feature a direct drive system with a flexible coupling and helical gearbox for optimal power transmission. They are air-cooled by default, with optional water cooling and heat recovery systems available.
Efficiency and Maintenance: POLAR compressors use RotEnergyPlus synthetic cooling lubricant, which separates quickly from water, reduces friction, and extends maintenance intervals. The design includes a prefilter panel for dust separation, wide opening doors for easy maintenance, and soundproofing for quiet operation.
Main Components: Key components include a fan cooling system with thermostatic control, a steel CE separator tank with an internal separator cartridge, and a double oil filter for operational safety. The microprocessor-based electronic controller monitors operational parameters and supports multiple languages.
Inverter Drive (VS Version): The VS version stabilizes working pressure by regulating motor speed and air-end, optimizing power consumption and reducing mechanical wear. This results in constant network pressure and energy savings.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including motor power, air delivery, pressure, sound level, connection size, weight, and dimensions. Models are available with different frequencies and voltages upon request.

Microprocessor based electronic controller Countinuous monitoring of the operational parameters is performed by a microprocessor based electronic controller, programmable with different languages. The display indicates working pressure, internal pressure, warning for separator high delta P, overpressure, motor overload, airend discharge temperature, motor rotation check, service hours countdown (oil, oil filter, separator and air filter), load and total running hours. The controller includes a timer suitable for calendar based start and stop of the compressor.

Version with inverter drive (VS) Management costs Energy saving Energy Service Investment Energy SAVING The whole POLAR range is available with inverter drive (VS = Variable Speed). The application of inverter technology to screw compressors in the POLAR range allows best performance stabilizing the working pressure of the machine by regulation of the motor speed and of the air-end. Depending on the real compressed air demand of the network, the electronic controller regulates the frequency drive adapting the motor speed. A decrease of the network pressure corresponds to a higher air demand;...
