VIEW PRODUCTHow Rotary Screw Air Compressors Work?
Rotary Screw Compressors are available in two technologies- oil lubricated rotary screw air compressor and oil free rotary screw air compressor. An oil lubricated rotary screw compressor is used in industries that require large volume of air. The oil free rotary screw air compressors are used in sensitive industries which have to comply to strict adherence to safety standards such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Rotary Screw Compressors
Rotary screw compressors are a type of air compressor that utilizes two helical screws to compress air. Compared to other types of air compressors, they are energy efficient, quiet, and reliable, which makes them an ideal choice for professional and industrial applications. There are two types of screw air compressors - oil lubricated screw air compressors and oil free screw air compressors.
Twin screw air compressor technology
The working principle of a screw air compressor is based on positive displacement. The compressor uses two meshing helical screws, also known as rotors, to compress air. The screws rotate in opposite directions, with the male rotor driving the female rotor. As the screws rotate, the air is trapped between the rotors and the compressor housing, and the volume of the air is reduced. This compression process increases the pressure of the air, which is then discharged through the outlet port.
There are two types of rotary screw compressors: oil-injected and oil-free. Oil-injected screw compressors use oil to lubricate the rotors and provide a seal between them, which prevents air leakage. Oil-free screw compressors, on the other hand, do not use oil and rely on other sealing methods, such as dry-running or water injection.
Why Should You Choose ELGi's Rotary Screw Air Compressor?
There are many benefits in running a rotary screw air compressor. In the appropriate applications, rotary screw compressors are more reliable and energy efficient that reciprocating compressors. Rotary Screw compressors require simple maintenance, consume less oil, and delivers higher quality air. Noise levels are significantly lower with a rotary screw compressor creating a more comfortable work environment. Pattons offers our customers with the highest quality in rotary screw compressors with the ELGi EN and EG Series.

Advantages of Rotary Screw Compressor
Rotary screw compressors offer several advantages over other types of air compressors, including:
Energy Efficiency
Screw type compressors are energy efficient because they utilize positive displacement technology. This means that they can compress air more efficiently than other types of compressors, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs.
Continuous Operation
Rotary screw compressors can operate continuously without the need for shut-off and have no duty cycle. This means that they can run for extended periods with little to no downtime. These rotary compressors are continuous duty cycle compressors.
Low Maintenance
Rotary air compressors have few moving parts, which reduces wear and tear and minimizes maintenance requirements. Long service intervals reduce maintenance costs and make routine checks and repairs quick and hassle-free.
Powerful Performance
Industrial Screw air compressors need to operate in challenging conditions. The rotary screw compressors used in industrial applications have high airflow rates and can perform at extreme temperatures, making them suitable for running pneumatic tools and heavy equipment.
Low Noise
Screw compressors are relatively quiet because they have small sizes and lack moving parts. This makes them ideal for point-of-use installations and industrial applications.
Applications of Industrial Rotary Screw Compressor
Pattons has been supplying energy efficient ELGi’ screw air compressors for many industries across the Southeast USA for over 75 years. Rotary screw compressors have a wide range of applications across various industries, including:
Manufacturing
Rotary screw compressors, such as in manufacturing plants, are ideal for large industrial applications with continuous air demand. They can provide high-quality compressed air with minimal downtime and maintenance.
Construction
Smaller rotary screw compressors can be turned into mobile units, making them ideal for construction sites or mining operations in remote locations. They are easy to install, durable, and can operate in challenging conditions.
Food and Beverage
Rotary air compressors are suitable for the food and beverage industry because they can provide oil-free compressed air, which is essential for maintaining product quality and safety.
Medical and Pharmaceutical
In the medical and pharmaceutical industries, compressed air quality is critical. The sustainably produced ELGi oil free screw compressors provide oil-free compressed air, which is necessary to maintain the air’s purity in medical and pharmaceutical applications.
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, rotary screw compressors are used in car assembly plants and automotive repair shops. They power pneumatic tools used for vehicle assembly, painting, and repairs.
