For different applications in many industries

Rotary screw compressors are by nature of their compression technology energy efficient. Because energy costs make up the bulk of the expenses related to compressing air, this makes them a great investment. In addition, screw compressors are built specifically for long lifetimes of reliable use.

Other advantages include that rotary screw air compressors do not require a lot of maintenance and are very versatile. In addition, they are relatively quiet. That means that screw compressors can be installed closer to the point of use without violating noise standards. This is important for workshops or other small businesses with limited space.

There is one other reason why you can now find rotary screw compressors in virtually all industries that rely on compressed air. They come in different forms and sizes.


For example, there are screw compressors with belt drives, gear drives and direct drives. In addition, there are dry-running and oil-flooded compressors. In other words, no matter what you need, there is a rotary screw air compressor for you. Hertz Kompressoren has a huge comprehensive selection of models to choose from.

What are the features and benefits of rotary screw compressors?

 Continuous airflow  Rotary screw compressors have a very low internal temperature, avoiding heating issues. No need for cooling down periods or breaks.

 High volume capacity  Since screw compressors can keep running 24/7 without heating problems, they generate higher volumes of compressed air than other types of compressors.

 Energy-efficient  The low heat generation makes screw compressors energy-efficient

 Long lifespan  Thanks to easier maintenance and low risk of overheating, screw compressors tend to last long with little to no capacity loss - even when running on full power 24/7

 Quieter  The rotors compressing the air are not in direct contact with each other, which cuts down on noise and provides a calm work environment.

 Convenient even at the harshest of conditions  This means that whether there are high temperatures or low conditions, the air compressor can and will run. The continuous duty function of a screw compressor means crucial components of the compressor will not wear out no matter the condition.
