Technology

Built for continuous duty

All JAB compressors share the same basis: direct drive, efficient cooling and pressure lubrication. The cutaway shows a high-pressure model.

Cutaway of a JAB high-pressure compressor
  1. Air filterOptimised for flow and sound, with high pre-separation and low pressure drop.
  2. Specially treated cylindersMinimum oil consumption, blow-by and wear.
  3. Direct driveMotor coupled directly to the compressor – no belt losses.
  4. Efficient coolingLow intermediate and outlet temperatures.
  5. Maintenance-free separatorsNo maintenance costs for the separators.
  6. Automatic condensate drainWithout additional solenoid valves.
  7. Quality crank-drive bearingsFor continuous, durable operation.
  8. Pressure lubricationWith oil-pressure monitoring for a long service life.
  9. Three-point mountingVibration-free, no foundation needed.

Gas version

  • Gas-proof shaft seal – no leakage
  • Pressure-tight crankcase, inlet pressure up to 40 bar
  • Pressure switches instead of safety valves – no gas release and less tubing
Control

JABcommand UNI plus

The controller monitors and protects the compressor, automates operation of the unit and simplifies service and maintenance.

  • Error messages in full text and as classic codes, with a large error memory
  • Yellow info LED signals service intervals (gaskets, shaft, pistons)
  • As master control it monitors and operates one or several compressors
  • Switches and push-buttons to EN 60204 for easy operation
  • Rotating-field monitoring and potential-free contacts for integration into a control system

Unit and service

Plug & play unit

The compressor comes as an assembled, wired unit on a base frame – KOMP-R takes care of the rest.

Compressor unit

Besides the compressor, the unit usually includes the electric control, inlet and outlet pressure sensors, outlet temperature monitoring, connection hoses and bulkhead fittings. The scope depends on the compressor type.

  • Dryers
  • Filters
  • (High-)pressure storage
  • Fittings
  • Sound-proof hoods
