Our most innovative series yet combines the best features of 皇冠体育227鈥檚 legendary direct-drive 鈥渂earingless鈥� air compressors with the best of the BLADE belt-drive compressors.
The result is the most advanced industrial-grade air compressor on the market, backed by a heavy-duty direct-drive transmission, simple, reliable controls, and an elegant design optimized for lower sound emissions.
To confirm the superior performance, reliability, and efficiency of the Direct-Drive BLADE series, we asked an industry expert to put our latest machine to the test.
Paul Steigenga of , a long-time 皇冠体育227 distributor, has called 皇冠体育227鈥檚 AC Series his 鈥渂read and butter,鈥� so he was skeptical that he would love the Direct-Drive BLADE as much.
To see if the new machine could possibly compare to the beloved AC Series, Steigenga put it through the works. "I gave this compressor what we call the 鈥榓cid test鈥� in the shop. I did everything you could possibly do to a compressor over the course of a week.鈥�
Steigenga鈥檚 acid test was no joke 鈥� his team hard-stopped the machine multiple times throughout the week, dammed up its cooler intake in order to force overheating, and more. They were insistent on pushing the compressor to its limits.
The results? 鈥淚t was astounding,鈥� he says. 鈥淲e had no issues. We were able to cover the cooler three-quarters of the way with no overheating issues. Even better, there were no oil leaks anywhere."
After the grueling acid test, Steigenga鈥檚 team took a deep dive into the Direct-Drive鈥檚 inner workings to get a feel for its maintenance requirements 鈥� and came away thoroughly impressed.
Above all, Steigenga champions the Direct-Drive鈥檚 user-friendly design. 鈥淓verything's easy to work on 鈥� the air filter, the oil filter, and the air-oil separator. Its controls are clean and easy for the operator, just like the AC Series machines that we love."
The Direct-Drive BLADE also sees less downtime and lower maintenance costs due to the addition of spin-on oil filters, one of Steigenga鈥檚 favorite features of the machine. 鈥淥ld technology required us to spend more time doing that.鈥�
Plus, he says, 鈥渢he air filter housing is built with a closed design so you don't have any leaks." Time-saving: check. Leak-preventing: check.
Steigenga 鈥� who had insisted that no compressor could match the efficiency and reliability of the AC Series 鈥� ended the week on a different note. 鈥淭he Direct-Drive BLADE really provides reliable, efficient airflow," he admits. 鈥淎fter a grueling week of testing, it seems the Direct-Drive BLADE has come out on top.鈥�
Not only is the new Direct-Drive BLADE Series more user-friendly than any other industrial compressor on the market 鈥� it鈥檚 designed with 皇冠体育227鈥檚 trademark performance, energy, and cost-efficiency standards top-of-mind.
The series incorporates 皇冠体育227鈥檚 best-in-class Maestro XB鈥攐ur user-friendly, programmable controller, which optimizes performance and cost-efficiency to match each customer鈥檚 unique air demands. What reinforces the compressor鈥檚 efficiency are its premium TEFC motors, air-cooled aftercoolers, and the optional heater kit for low ambient temperature protection, keeping operation and electricity costs to a minimum.
As the cherry on top, the Direct-Drive BLADE is our quietest and most beautiful machine yet. With operating decibel levels as low as 67 dB(A) and cabinet enclosures that are, according to Streigenga, 鈥渧ery visually appealing,鈥� it鈥檚 clear that it wouldn鈥檛 be a 皇冠体育227 without best-in-class Italian design.
鈥淒irect-Drive BLADE Series leverages 皇冠体育227鈥檚 proprietary 鈥渂earingless鈥� rotary vane technology in delivering unrivaled airend longevity amongst positive displacement rotary air compressors,鈥� notes Bill Kennedy, Sales & Products Manager for 皇冠体育227 Americas.
鈥淯nlike other rotary compressors, 皇冠体育227鈥檚 exclusive technology which, is already one of the most energy efficient compressors in the world, actually benefits users with lower energy costs year over year. Sustainability is the least we can offer our planet, but a compressor that consumes less energy as time goes by raises the bar in offering Improvable Performance - a claim no other compressor can make.鈥�
With the Direct-Drive BLADE, 皇冠体育227 continues to deliver on its promise to provide the durable, reliable, cost-effective performance that only rotary vane compressor technology can deliver. That鈥檚 why the Direct-Drive BLADE is ideal for applications across industries. If you鈥檙e interested in getting your hands on a machine for your business, request a quote today.
