Ultima™ is CompAir's groundbreaking oil-free PureAir screw compressor with a unique design. It is a brand new compressor range and it utilises a low pressure and high pressure dry screw airend. Each airend is individually driven by a variable speed, permanent magnet synchronous motor, offering exceptional levels of efficiency versus traditional oil-free technology.
CompAir is always improving the best products to be even better and more cutting edge.
Ultima™ - the real deal
Ultima compressors are 100% oil and silicone-free and meet ISO 8573-1 Class Zero (2010), making them the ideal choice for stringent oil-free applications within food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electronic and the automotive industries. What makes this compressor series unique is the lack of a gearbox. Ultima uses ultra high efficiency direct drive motors which replace the gearbox and the single motor, which optimise performance throughout the complete volume range, as the airends can be driven at different speeds dependant on the demand. With a single motor driving both airends together this is not possible. This is where Ultima is hard to beat.
The unique drive design
Traditional oil-free compressors are driven by a single motor using a gearbox which in turn, drives both the low and high pressure airends. Gearboxes require oil and create friction which equates to energy loss. Ultima uses ultra high efficiency motors which replace the gearbox and the single motor which optimise performance throughout the complete volume range, as the airends can be driven at different speeds dependant on the demand. With a single motor driving both airends together this is not possible. This is where Ultima is hard to beat.
The Ultima design utilises an intelligent "digital gearbox" design which continuously monitors and independently adjust the speeds of each airend, ensuring maximum efficiency and pressure ratios at all times.
When any regulated speed compressor gets to the minimum speed, it goes into idle run. For any compressor, this is wasted energy. Ultima uses 45% less energy in idle run than a conventional two-stage compressor and a 160kW compressor uses only 8 kW in idle run.
