Tsunami Rotary Vane Compressor / Dryer Systems
Features the revolutionary reliability and efficiency of the Mattei® rotary vane compressors
and the performance and durability of the Tsunami Ultra Regenerative Dryer.
IF THIS IS YOUR NEXT COMPRESSOR, THIS IS YOUR LAST COMPRESSOR
Since 1919, slow-running MATTEI® air compressors
have delivered superior performance and more value for
your compressed air dollar. If you want a compressor you
can hand down to the next generation, this is the one you
want. Suburban Manufacturing knows body shops and
our TSUNAMI brand equipment ensures clean, dry
compressed air is delivered to avoid costly rework.
Mattei is ideal for waterborne paints: industry
leading body shops know that nothing beats a Mattei
vane compressor. Quiet? Even the open machine is
quiet. Durable? The air-end (RSU) has a 10 year
warranty. Efficient? You may need less HP than you
think.
Economical? It won’t cost a fortune to maintain. Mattei
offers select compressor packages that ensure a
constant reliable supply of clean dry compressed air.
Base mounted, Stacked System™ duplex, variable
speed driven, and more.
REVOLUTIONARY RELIABILITY
UNCONVENTIONALLY DURABLE & EFFICIENT
Get a Mattei and you’ll get the best value in premium quality air compressors found anywhere on the planet.
Our unconventional “bearingless” air-ends are designed to last over 100,000 hours and are warranted for a full 10
years. They typically last up to 2-3 times longer than conventional rotary screw compressors. Super quiet operation,
less lubricant, and energy-efficient designs save you more for years to come.
HOW IT WORKS
Ambient air is drawn through a filter into the
compression chamber consisting of a stator in
which an eccentrically arranged rotor revolves at
1,800 rpm (or less with OPTIMA VSD Models). An
air intake valve automatically adjusts the incoming
air volume. The rotor has longitudinal slots in
which the vanes slide. Zero-wear vanes ride on a
thin film of oil and are held against the stator by
centrifugal force. The air is compressed through
the contraction in volume of each chamber formed
by the vanes, the rotor and the stator wall.
Sealing, cooling and lubrication are ensured by the
oil injected into the chamber.
