Vertical Single Stage Screw Air Compressors

SMC Vertical Single-Stage Screw Air Compressors are essential in various industries, providing compressed air to power a wide range of pneumatic equipment. They drive pneumatic machines and tools operating at pressures around 7-8 kg/cm², which are used for automation, controlling instruments, vehicle mechanisms, pharmaceutical stirring, textile air-jet looms, diesel engine startups, oil well fracturing, mining blasting, and even defense applications such as submarine buoyancy control, torpedo propulsion, and ship salvage.

In refrigeration and gas separation, these compressors enable the liquefaction of gases such as ammonia or freon by compressing, cooling, and expanding them. This process supports artificial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Additionally, when compressing gas mixtures, they facilitate the separation of individual gases in industrial gas purification and production.

The compressors also play a crucial role in the chemical industry, where high-pressure compressed gases support synthesis and polymerization processes. This includes manufacturing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, methanol from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, all vital for producing fertilizers and chemicals.

In the petroleum sector, compressed hydrogen gas is used in hydrofining processes to improve oil quality. The hydrogen reacts with heavy hydrocarbons, breaking them down into lighter, more valuable components, such as lighter oils and lubricants.

Finally, air compressors supply the necessary pressure to transport gases through pipelines efficiently. The required pressure varies depending on the length and specifications of the pipeline system
