Brochure

Axial compressors are designed for high volume, relatively low pressure applications and have
high efficiency and a broad operating range.
An external fabricated horizontally split casing holds an inner stator blade carrier.
The first stator blading rows are adjustable by external devices for better performance control
and for broader operability.
The number of blade rows is variable to better fit the process needs.
Both rotor and stator blades are robustly designed, for optimum aerodynamic and mechanical
behavior.
The radial and thrust bearings are of the tilting-pad type. Shaft-end seals can be labyrinths
either with extraction or buffer systems, oil film seals or dry seals depending on service
requirements.
All connections can be oriented upward or downward to meet plant layout needs.
