Low operating costs
May 1st 2007 Mattei Compressors has launched
its new 100 Series Rotary Vane
Compressor. This new product is
the result of several years of intense
research and development from
Mattei's engineering and design
team and has resulted in the
creation of three additional patents
for the 100 series.
The 100 series is a development
from the successful 200 series,
which has sold thousands since its
launch in the mid 1990's. It shares
the same installed powers of 1kW –
3kW but has been developed to
fulfil a market requirement for
an industrial solution that is
easy to use and with low
operating costs.
"The investment in time and
money has been
substantial,"
explains Dr
Giulio
Contaldi,
Mattei's
head of
research and
development.
"One of the
main goals was to
reduce the number of
components in the machinery. For
this reason, we engineered a new
design, leading to several
significant changes from the 200
series. The reduction and
simplification of parts will further
add benefit by significantly
reducing the maintenance costs."
Although intended as a cost
effective solution the 100 will still
offer many beneficial features as
standard, such as safety
thermostats for both motor and oil
temperature, a built in pressure
gauge, an integrated oil radiator
and a visual oil level indicator. The
compressor will be mounted on
either a 90 or 200 litre air receiver,
depending on client's individual
requirements and its price will be
comparable to that of a high quality
piston compressor. The Mattei unit
will however,
provide
the added
advantage of
operating more quietly and
more efficiently.
"The new 100 series is an
affordable industrial compressor,
perfect for either continuous or
intermittent working cycles" adds
Andy Jones, general manager of
