The Fiac Light Silver LS 4 10 400/50 CE screw compressor is capable of producing 352 L of air per minute at 10 bar and 444 L of air per minute at 8 bar. It has a nominal capacity of 3.36 kW (4.5 HP) and it can produce a maximum pressure of 10 bar.
It offers better performance and greater reliability than classic piston compressors. Screw compressors are perfect for those who need an uninterrupted production of compressed air on a long term basis. Part of the latest generation of Fiac screw compressors, it is also lighter and less bulky.
The compressor operation can be summarized as follows:
- The gas passes through a suction line created between the two rotors.
- The rotation of the screws stops the input suction and the air is pushed towards the delivery output.
- The screws are made in such a way as to progressively reduce the space between the rotors and the stator and this allows for an increase in pressure.
- The last step of the operation concerns the expulsion of air from the discharge of the pump unit.
Models with screw technology are designed for heavy-duty, continuous use, such as in business or industrial sectors. Due to their continuous and uninterrupted productivity, they are suitable for use in machine shops, industries, and many others.
Unlike the classic piston compressor, these machines are also extremely silent, the screw technology makes it possible to maintain a very low sound emission level. In addition, the maintenance of this machine has been greatly simplified to allow the user to perform it in a few simple steps.
