The CURTIS direct drive rotary screw
compressor uses an advanced rotor design to
deliver a maximum of air per energy dollar.
The asymmetrical rotor profile is of the
latest design. This unique design used by
CURTIS combines with the rotor. Oil
injection and a tuned intake and exhaust
system to deliver maximum efficiency to
pressures of 175 PSI.
The R/S-D Series power curve is kept at the
correct RPM for peak efficiency by proper
selection of the gear ratio. The R/S-D
Series rotary screw air compressor’s output
per energy dollar compares favorably with
any other compressor manufacturer in the
world.RUGGED
The CURTIS R/S-D Series direct drive
compressor is rugged. Every component has
been designed longer operating life with
minimal service. For example the R/S-D oil
cooler is oversized to dispose of the heat
generated by compressing this volume of air.
All fittings, controls, values and
electrical components have proven themselves
many years of operation in much larger
components.
The R/S-D Series drive motor and air end are
mounted on a separated sub-frame which is
attached to the main frame with vibration
isolation dampers. This method of
installation maintains correct alignment of
the motor and gear drive, and promotes long
bearing life in both the motor and
compressors.
CURTIS Rotary Screw Air Compressors have
been successfully operating under severe
conditions. For example, CURTIS is
delivering air energy in high humidity of
oil well drilling platforms in the
Caribbean. That heritage is what makes the
R/S-D Series such a thoroughbred.
SIMPLE
The CURTIS engineering staff subscribes to
the principle: Keep It Simple. The RS-D
Series piping system is designed with the
fewest joints possible. All joints are
sealed with TEFLON™ tape and space-age
sealants to minimize the possibility of a
leak. All steel tubing and rigid piping are
used – no hoses.
The R/S-D Series compressor is simple to
install and easy to maintain, and is
engineered to give the user many years of
trouble-free service.
CLEAN AIR
The R/S-D Series was developed for the
production of a steady supply of high
quality, contaminate free air. Oil
carry-over is less than 3 parts per million,
and can be reduced even further with a
coalescing filter.
APPLICATION
The R/S-D Series is ideal for a wide
variety of applications such as auto and
production line painting, machine tool
control, air tools, sand blasting,
process air, and the operation of plant
air systems. |
