Hydrovane - Air Compressor

Applications & Use Cases

• Supplying compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in food production.
• Operating air-powered actuators and valves on processing lines.
• Used for packaging machinery requiring clean, dry air.
• Providing air for general plant maintenance and cleaning tasks.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of Hydrovane compressor, capacities commonly range from 10 to 100 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), suitable for various industrial applications.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, common in industrial settings across the UK.

Operating pressure

Commonly found operating pressures for Hydrovane compressors are between 7 and 10 bar (100-145 psi).

Air treatment

Many industrial air compressors, especially for food processing, are often paired with dryers and filters to ensure clean, dry air.

Footprint

The footprint for a used Hydrovane compressor of this type can vary, but typically requires a dedicated space of approximately 1m x 0.7m to 1.5m x 1m.

Noise level

Hydrovane compressors are known for their relatively low noise levels compared to some other compressor types, typically in the range of 65-75 dB(A).
