Mattei - Air Compressor/Dryer

Applications & Use Cases

• Providing compressed air for pneumatic tools and machinery in food production.
• Supplying dry, oil-free air for packaging lines to prevent product contamination.
• Operating control systems and actuators in automated food processing plants.
• Used in cleaning and blow-off applications for equipment and work surfaces.

Typical Specifications

Compressor type

Mattei units of this model class are typically rotary vane compressors, known for their continuous output and low noise.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, air delivery rates commonly range from 100 to 300 CFM (cubic feet per minute), depending on the specific configuration.

Pressure range

Operating pressures are typically between 7 and 10 bar (100-145 psi), suitable for most industrial applications.

Integrated dryer

The 'dryer' component indicates an integrated refrigeration dryer, essential for removing moisture from compressed air in food environments.

Power supply

Units of this size commonly require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, typical for industrial machinery in the UK.

Footprint

These are generally compact, self-contained units, designed for efficient use of floor space within a production facility.

Maintenance

Rotary vane compressors typically require regular oil changes and filter replacements to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
