Hydrovane HV04 Air compressor

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in workshops.
• Supplying air for control systems and actuators in automated production lines.
• Operating spray painting equipment and other air-driven applications.
• Supporting packaging machinery requiring clean, dry compressed air.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, a 4kW unit commonly delivers between 15-25 CFM (cubic feet per minute) or 0.4-0.7 m³/min at standard operating pressures.

Power supply

Units of this type are typically 3-phase, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments in the UK.

Maximum pressure

Hydrovane HV04 compressors are generally rated for a maximum operating pressure of around 10-11 bar (145-160 psi).

Receiver size

When supplied with a receiver, it is typically sized to complement the compressor's output, often ranging from 100 to 270 litres for a 4kW unit.

Dryer type

The inclusion of a BEKO Drypoint RA dryer indicates a refrigerated air dryer, which is standard for removing moisture from compressed air.

Footprint

Compact design is typical for Hydrovane rotary vane compressors, making them suitable for installations where space is a consideration, especially when receiver-mounted.

• What are the main benefits of a Hydrovane rotary vane compressor?

  Hydrovane compressors are known for their quiet operation, continuous duty capability, and long service life due to their simple, robust rotary vane design. They typically deliver high-quality air with minimal oil carryover.

• Why is a dryer important for an air compressor?

• What kind of maintenance does a Hydrovane HV04 typically require?

• Can this compressor be used in food processing environments?

• What are the electrical requirements for installation?

Used air compressors for lab and pharma applications are generally valued for reliability and cost savings. Buyers typically prioritize checking maintenance history, confirming pressure ratings meet specific requirements, and verifying oil-free operation where contamination control matters. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, consistent performance across extended operational hours, and significant capital cost reduction compared to new units. Inspecting seals, checking for corrosion, and confirming recent servicing records are standard considerations when purchasing secondhand.
