AIR COMPRESSORS / VANE COMPRESSORS

Vane compressors for reliable and low-noise compressed air supply

Hydrovane vane compressors are an excellent choice for users who need robust technology, steady airflow, and low operating costs. They are suitable for continuous industrial operation and for small to medium-demand systems.

TECHNOLOGY

Rotary vane

Simple and robust design with steady airflow.

NOISE

Low level

Quiet operation for workshops, production halls, and service areas.

MAINTENANCE

Easy

Fewer moving parts and accessible service points reduce downtime.

SUPPORT

KOMP-R service

From model selection to commissioning and long-term system maintenance.

General industry and workshops

Production halls, service workshops, and assembly lines often need steady compressed air supply for pneumatic tools, valves, and automation.

How the operating principle helps

A vane compressor uses a rotor with sliding vanes that create compression chambers. As the rotor turns, chamber volume decreases and pressure rises progressively. Because compression is smooth and rotational speed is moderate, operation remains very stable.

Packaging industry

Packaging lines use compressed air to drive grippers, cylinders, valves, and automated conveying systems.

How the operating principle helps

Because vane compressors generate compressed air with very low pulsation, airflow stays stable. This enables precise pneumatic component performance and consistent synchronization of automated processes.

Food industry

In food plants, compressed air is used for packaging transport, valve actuation, packing operations, and production automation.

How the operating principle helps

In vane compressors, oil provides lubrication, sealing, and cooling of the compression chamber. This makes the technology stable and reliable even in long duty cycles.

Printing and textile

Printing and textile processes need stable air pressure for valve actuation, material handling, and machine cleaning.

How the operating principle helps

Vane compressors provide smooth compression because the volume of compression cells decreases gradually. The result is stable pressure without large fluctuations.

How a vane compressor works

A vane compressor operates on the principle of rotary positive displacement compression. Sliding vanes inside the rotor create chambers with variable volume during rotation. Thanks to simple mechanics, operation is reliable, airflow is stable, and maintenance is predictable and cost-effective.

Compression steps

Air intake
Air enters the compression chamber where a rotor rotates inside a cylindrical stator. The rotor has slots with sliding vanes that extend by centrifugal force and form separate compression cells.
Compression
As the rotor turns, the volume of these cells gradually decreases, which increases pressure and produces compressed air.
Cooling and lubrication
Oil is injected under pressure into the compression chamber to lubricate vanes, seal the cells, and remove heat generated during compression.
Air discharge
Compressed air exits the compressor through the outlet path, where remaining oil traces are removed in the final separator.
