Motor Power: 1.1 kW to 4 kW (approx. 1.5 HP to 5.4 HP)
Pressure Rating: 10 bar (≈145 psi)
Air Delivery (FAD): ~0.12 – 0.57 m³/min (4.3 – 20.1 cfm)
Mounting: Base or receiver-mounted options
Electric Supply: 50/60 Hz compatible
Simple Electronics: Starter with over-temperature protection for ease of use
Quiet Operation: Compact design suitable for point-of-use installation with low noise levels✳️
✳️ Noise levels often range from ~62 dB(A) on smaller units up to ~73 dB(A) depending on model and mounting.
🏭 Typical Applications
These compressors are ideal for places such as:
Small workshops and garages
Pneumatic tools
Printing and packaging machinery
Small-scale manufacturing
Laboratory and dental air supply
Machine-tool air feeds
Because they deliver clean, pulse-free air and are quiet with few moving parts, they’re convenient for localized use without extensive downstream air treatment.
🛠 How Rotary Vane Technology Works (Quick Summary)
Rotary vane compressors use a rotor with sliding vanes inside a cylindrical housing. As the rotor spins:
Air gets trapped between vanes and the stator wall.
Volume decreases, compressing the air.
Oil injection cools and seals the compression chamber.
Compressed air is discharged continuously with low pulsation.
This simple mechanism means fewer moving parts, lower noise, and high reliability compared to many piston compressors.
📌 Summary
Rotary Screw Compressor 7.5 kw to 160 kw and other larger compressors serve high-capacity industrial needs, while the HV 01-04 Series fills the niche for compact, reliable air delivery in smaller facilities. The HV series strikes a balance of size, performance and ease of use, ideal if you need a small yet robust air supply under 4 kW motor power.
If you want, I can help you compare these with rotary screw or piston compressors to choose the right type for a specific application.
