Rotary Vane Compressors – HV 01–04 Series
The HV 01–04 Series rotary vane compressors (commonly from the Hydrovane/CompAir range) are compact, low-power air compressors designed mainly for light industrial and workshop applications.
🔧 Overview
These compressors use the rotary sliding vane principle, where a rotor with sliding vanes compresses air inside a cylindrical chamber, delivering smooth, pulse-free air output with high reliability.
They are especially suitable when compressed air is needed close to the point of use, such as in small workshops or lab setups.
