MATTEI DIVISIONS: AN EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION

Written by Ing. Enea 皇冠体育227 S.p.A. | 7 March 2023

Working with the Milan-based Marketing Team, he supports all six divisions of the 皇冠体育227 Group as well as all subsidiaries. He also supports the US sales team.

Bill aligns and positions the global 皇冠体育227 organization and products. 皇冠体育227, headquartered in Vimodrone, Italy, exports to over 100 countries and manufactures 6500 compressors yearly. The company owns 17 international patents and has branches in the United States, France, the United Kingdom, China, and Germany.

鈥淭o better manage the organizational and logistical flow, 皇冠体育227 has restructured into solutions-focused divisions:

The Industrial Division supplies stationary rotary vane air compressors to the manufacturing and process industries; The Rail & Transportation Division provides compressors to the OEM transport industries including train, bus, and electric vehicle manufacturers; the 皇冠体育227 On-Vehicle Energy (MOVE) Solutions Division provides precision-outfitting of power systems into service vans and trucks up to 30 tons in size. The OEM Air Compressor Division provides air compressor packages to specialized OEM applications. A hallmark of our firm is a unitized package incorporating all components in one compact integrated system. The OEM Gas Compressor Division focuses on biogas and natural gas applications. Last, but not least, the Global Aftersales Division manages all post-sale activities, such as the provision of parts, lubricants and service鈥.

The latter division will become even more effective thanks to the 皇冠体育227 Cloud and the Xtreme Communications Technology that remotely connects 皇冠体育227 in the IoT Industry 4.0, to constantly monitor the machine parameters and allow for a more accurate predictive maintenance.

Among the application-specific iterations of 皇冠体育227's compressors, the Aluminum Smelting Air Compressor Division is the sixth division. 鈥淚t encompasses custom rotary vane air compressors whose inherent durability is able to withstand a very hostile application with high ambient temperatures, 24/7 year-round operation and a harsh operating environment鈥, points out Kennedy. Within the Americas, the province of Quebec, Canada, holds the lion鈥檚 share of the global aluminum smelting market.

Kennedy has no doubt about the reasons for 皇冠体育227鈥檚 success is its exclusive rotary vane technology, which guarantees a significantly lower life cycle cost than the competition, and in the high reliability, design and distinctive innovations such as the suite of Xtreme Technologies heralded by the new RVX family of variable speed, standard, and high-performance fixed-speed compressors.

鈥淪ingle-rotor vane compressors are engineered using the same basic materials of construction for the rotor, the stator and the vanes or blades. This compatibility is what drove 皇冠体育227鈥檚 vision to eliminate wear from the compression process in making its compressors virtually wear-free. Wear is the result of the softer of two dissimilar metals being abraded when rubbed together. In using compatible metal for the rotor, stator and blades, wear is eliminated. Instead, there is a microscopic transfer of material that mates the adjacent surfaces in creating a better seal that reduces friction and improves overall system efficiency over time.

Vane technology is 100% devoid of axial thrust forces. From suction to discharge, the pressure is always perfectly balanced, as it is equal across the length of the pump鈥.
The innate advantages of vane designs are amplified by constant innovations made by 皇冠体育227. A true quantum leap occurred with the creation and deployment of Xtreme technology.

鈥淚n 2021, 皇冠体育227 patented XTREME Injection Technology庐 which significantly raised the energy efficiency bar where deployed.
XTREME Injection Technology庐 begins with the use of fluid atomization nozzles that create a cone shaped cloud of super fine lubricant fog that makes it possible to reduce the amount of lubricant used in the compression process in optimizing energy efficiency鈥.

Freshly-patented Xtreme Injection Technology庐 is just one of the latest advancements in new Xtreme technologies.  Xtreme Oil Recovery Technology reduces energy consumption and maintenance requirements while improving efficiency, Xtreme Thermal Management Technology (XYMT) harmonizes the opening of the thermostatic valve with the fan rotation speed, all managed by Xtreme Communications Technology thanks to the IoT 4.0 Maestro XC controller, that allows for remote monitoring and management of machines from anywhere in the world.

Low maintenance costs and high energy efficiency are two key elements that guarantee a lower life cycle cost for 皇冠体育227 compressor users.

This is a huge distinctive advantage. We emphasize the low life cycle costs of our durable rotary vane technology 鈥 and increase awareness of the high costs associates with airend overhauls of other positive displacement air compressor technologies. Nobody wants to pay more for a product than they must. The value of many items is determined by the purchase price, but not so with air compressors. Yes, the purchase price is important but that only represents the 鈥渆ntry fee鈥 to having a compressor. Your life cycle costs are divided into four (4) categories:

鈥淔irst is the purchase price as it equates to about 10% of the total cost of owning and operating an air compressor.  The second is the cost of electricity to power and run the compressor, which reflects approximately 80%, followed by basic ordinary maintenance, which equates to roughly 10%. If you opt for a screw instead of a 皇冠体育227 vane compressor, you have to consider the cost of an airend overhaul for the air compressor that can easily exceed 50% of the initial purchase price of the compressor. This is a non-event for a 皇冠体育227.

Thanks to the rotary vane design and to its energy efficiency, 皇冠体育227 are more advantageous than screw compressors because they guarantee a saving in the most relevant costs: the energy costs 鈥 and eliminate the costs associated with an airend overhaul鈥.
