Shaftless motor
The rotor is keyed directly to the compressor shaft: no belts, no tensioning, no coupling checks and no alignment. A belt drive loses 5–7 % when new and up to 12 % when worn.

Oil-free air & gas compressorsOil-free reciprocating compressors and boosters from 4 to 90 bar for PET bottle blowing and industry. A shaftless motor with 100 % drive efficiency, the diagonal V and W design and water-cooled motors mean lower energy bills and more uptime.
Manufacturer since1852Every series is oil-free, water-cooled and driven by a shaftless motor. Figures below are summarised from the 2026 brochure tables (50 Hz, ISO 1217).

Three-stage V compressor with cylinders at 60° – maximum oil-free capacity in the smallest footprint.

Double-acting W design for large flows: three-step capacity control 0–50–100 % and lower power consumption.

Compact three-stage V130 units for process air and gases at medium pressure.

The versatile V250 platform: two-stage for 4–14 bar, three-stage up to 45 bar.

Open selectorBeyond PET, the industrial range covers low, medium and high pressure – for air and, with positive inlet pressure, for gases.

With positive inlet pressure the compressors work as boosters for air and gases – more flow at the same motor size.
Oil-free nitrogen boostersUp to 45 bar, suitable for bone-dry nitrogen – for food & beverage, pharma, electronics, oil & gas and chemicals.
Choose the application, inlet, delivery pressure and required flow. The chart shows all 37 models as lines from minimum to maximum delivery pressure; models that deliver your flow without excessive oversizing are highlighted.

Patented solutions developed together with customers for the toughest duty – every gained percent of efficiency shows up on the energy bill, year after year.

The rotor is keyed directly to the compressor shaft: no belts, no tensioning, no coupling checks and no alignment. A belt drive loses 5–7 % when new and up to 12 % when worn.

Cylinders inclined at 45° or 60° are dynamically balanced and reduce static piston-ring loading versus horizontal lines – no interim turning of rings.

For high altitude, heat, dust or poor ventilation: 100 % less radiated heat, low noise, maintenance free and suitable for VSD. Connects to the compressor cooling circuit.

Unique design and materials for high pressure: robust across a wide temperature range, up to 12 % lower electricity use and much longer service life.
Brochure formula: absorbed power ÷ drive efficiency × hours × energy price. With the shaftless motor the drive loss is zero.
Energy lost in a belt drive each year
€22,581The diagonal frame removes the parts that need regular maintenance – horizontal cylinder lines and belt drives – so the compressor runs when production needs it.

Belliss & Morcom was there at the birth of PET blow moulding. The VH and WH ranges deliver Class 0 oil-free air at 30–40 bar with the lowest running costs in the industry.
Returned air from the blow moulder is fed back into the 2nd (up to 4 barg) or 3rd stage (up to 14 barg).
Cooling water at around 80 °C pre-heats feed water for heating – savings of 22–30 % of the motor rating in kW; the two water systems do not mix.
Intelligent control for networks of up to 30 compressors of any make.
Capacity control from 30 to 100 %, lower starting current, better power factor and repeatable pressure control.

VH and WH are supplied with an integral direct-drive motor and need no extra base structure – with starter, PLC control panel, dryer, receiver, filters and drains, as a skid with all pipework and wiring or with acoustic enclosure. Energy audits on request.
Oil-free air and gas is the backbone of today's industry – from hydropower plants to PET lines and nitrogen boosting.
