Rotary Screw Compressors Modulo VSD Series
Excellence for variable speed drive compressors
Designed to deliver cost and energy efficiency, performance and reliability, the new Modulo variable speed drive (VSD) compressors offer the ultimate solution.
As one of the market leaders in VSD technology, Balma’s latest range of oil-injected screw compressors features an innovative direct drive transmission, which automatically adjusts the speed of the motor in response to demand for compressed air.
Modulo VSD series: industry leading VSD technology
- High performance: direct driven transmission. Free Air Delivery (FAD) improved by 9% on average compared to the previous range.
- Reliable: Balma’s premium quality, heavy duty motors with IP54 and IP55 protection are suitable for operation in environments up to 46 degrees centigrade.
- Intelligent controller: Balma’s unique Airlogic in-built control unit is specially programmed for energy saving performance.
- Energy efficient: VSD compressors deliver average savings of up to 35% and are 3% more efficient than belt driven transmissions. IE3 motors come as standard in VSD units.
- Easy serviceability: All service components are located at the front of the machine for easy access, providing simple maintenance or replacement of the coolers, separator and filters.
- Minimal noise: With noise levels of 64-72 dB(A), the compressors can operate at a lower pressure setting, reducing costs and eliminating pressure drops.
The compact all-in-one compressed air system hat can be installed at the point of use.
Key benefits of VSD compressors
The innovative variable speed drive (VSD) technology in the new Modulo compressors deliver many advantages over belt driven units. As the motor speed is regulated to meet flow demand, average energy savings of up to 35% are possible, which enables your business to reduce both cost and carbon footprint.
