Long-term savings
Today’s users expect maximum availability and efficiency from their compressors, regardless of size. SM series rotary screw
compressors meet these key expectations and more. Not only do they deliver more compressed air for less energy, but they
also combine ease of use and maintenance-friendliness with exceptional versatility and environmentally responsible design.

Why choose heat recovery?

In fact, the question should be: Why not? Amazingly, up to

Up to
100 % of the (electrical) energy supplied to a compressor
is converted into heat. Up to 96 % of this energy can be

96 %
recovered and reused for heating purposes. This not only
reduces primary energy consumption, but also improves
the company’s overall energy balance.
