Although the idea for a scroll compressor has been around for over 100 years, the technology is actually pretty recent as 40 years ago. As the sector continues to advance, so is the dependence on dependable, clean and oil-free compressed air flow. Scroll compressors are ideal in industrial applications that include: medical, pharmaceutical, meals, laboratory, textile, electronics, and production facilities.

Anywhere quiet, climate is necessary, a heavy-duty scroll compressor is the only strategy to use. They come in a wide variety of sizes, up to 30 HP, which can produce as much as 86 CFM! Scroll compressors use a very innovative (spiral) design that compresses atmosphere quietly with fewer moving parts and much less required maintenance.

Scroll air compressors use two spiral-shaped scroll pieces to compress air flow. One scroll is definitely stationary, meaning it’s set in place and doesn’t move, and the other fits inside the Scroll Air Compressor stationary scroll and can be moved in a good circular motion without rotating. The moving scroll presses against the within of the stationary scroll so that, as it movements in a circular motion, it pushes and traps air into small pockets between the two.

The pockets of air continue being moved through the spiral toward the center. As the air moves further toward the center of the spirals, the atmosphere pockets become smaller, and the air in those pockets gets compressed.
