Best compressors of Remeza

27 march 2020

The area of application of compressors is extremely wide. It is hardly possible to remember at least one industrial branch in which this equipment has not been used. In addition, compressors have proven their need for domestic use and services, in healthcare and many other areas. A high-quality compressor provides stable operating parameters and has a high operational resource. This is the equipment that company REMEZA produces. In this article, we will look at the top compressors of this brand, according to consumers.

Key characteristics when choosing compressors

Productivity (litre/min)

This characteristic shows how much compressed air the unit can produce in 1 minute of operation. The REMEZA catalogues indicate the performance of the equipment during absorption. It varies depending on the specific installation model and air temperature. To ensure the effective operation, it is recommended to choose a model with a productivity margin of at least 25% (depending on the capacity of the pneumatic tool you plan to connect).

Compressor Pressure (Bar)

The maximum value of this indicator is reached at the compressor output. It should be noted that it changes during the equipment operation cycle, because the drive starts/stops and the pressure in the receiver drops. For example, if the compressor has a maximum pressure of 10 Bar, then the operating indicator can vary in the range of approximately 10–6 Bar. This should be taken into account when selecting the installation: the compressor pressure should be sufficient for the connected equipment or tool.

Capacity (kW)

This indicator determines how quickly the compressor reaches the required estimated pressure. When choosing an installation, keep in mind that the actual capacity and the figures indicated in the passport may differ slightly: losses occur due to friction of working parts, heat generation, etc. Therefore, it is better to purchase a compressor with a capacity reserve of at least 25%.

Receiver volume (liter)

Structurally, a compressor receiver is a reservoir for compressed air. The larger the volume, the less on-off cycles the compressor will have. However, the installation will require more time to fill a larger receiver. In the company REMEZA you can purchase a compressor with a receiver of different volumes (up to 500 l maximum).

This line of compressors has an electric motor located on top of the air receiver. The units are compact and have a small weight, which is extremely important for the convenience of their movement. To ensure the mobility of installations, they are equipped with a metal handle and a pair of wheels. The equipment is suitable for use in the household (for example, for the garage), in industries (in heavy, chemical and other industries), in auto repair shops, workshops and other facilities where, among other things, equipment mobility is important. Thanks to the variety of designs and volumes of receivers, as well as a wide range of models, you can choose a piston compressor for a wide range of tasks. Equipment with all the working settings is on sale, so it can be used immediately after purchase.

This belt driven equipment is suitable for continuous production activities. Belt drive and cast iron cylinder block allow it to work for a long time. Thanks to the patented technological design of the crankcase of the compressor unit, this series of compressors is characterized by a low oil release into the pneumatic line.

The presented series of compressors has a pair of compressor heads (FIAC) and electric motors on one receiver. This solution is called a “tandem” or “two-head compressor”. It allows installations to produce a significant amount of compressed air with relatively small dimensions. At the same time, the compressors are characterized by high stability and wear resistance.

These are the best compressors from the affordable line of belt driven oil units. REMEZA screw compressors of VK-T series are based on the Italian Termomeccanica Compressori screw unit and have a simple automatic FX32 operating parameter controller. The self-diagnosis function is implemented in these installations; if necessary, the corresponding signal is displayed on the screen. These are compact and not noisy (up to 75 dB), but at the same time productive units with engines of 4-11 kW. Optionally equipped with a refrigerated air dryer, dew point +10 °C. The installations can be used on any objects where there are no increased requirements for the purity of compressed air.

Open type screw compressors: capacity 2.2-3 kW

Model	Lt	bar	l/min	kW	dB	kg	Dimensions АхВхС, mm	Output G
ВК3А-7,5-200-1(2)	200	7,5	315	2,2	73	130	1550×570×1100	G1/2

1 — version on wheels; 2 — version on anti vibration pads.

These compressors do not have a sound proof case, they are produced on the basis of a 200-liter receiver. The construction can be stationary (on shock-absorbing vibration supports) or mobile (on wheels). The installations are compact and have an affordable price. Despite the open construction, they produce a low noise level (73 dB).

The compressors in the open version comply with the NF 4.1 climate standard, which means that they can only be used in closed rooms. The operating temperature range is +4...+40 °C (optimal +15...+25 °C).

The use of this type of installations is justified at production and other facilities where equipment with a small consumption of pneumatic resources is involved. To work with the equipment that is sensitive to the quality of the environment, you need to purchase an additional air filter.

What else you need to consider before purchasing a compressor

Oil-free or oil

Oil compressors are installations for which it is obligatory to use oil, periodically adding it to the desired level and replacing it after a certain period of time. Due to the presence of lubricant, increased capacity and productivity indicators of the equipment are provided. However, lubricant impurities remain in the compressed air, which imposes restrictions on the possibility of using compressors.

Oil-free compressors are installations that do not require the use of oil. Sliding of working parts is achieved by various technological solutions (for example, the use of materials with low coefficients of friction). These installations have less capacity (compared to oil ones), but they produce cleaner air, suitable even for sensitive equipment.

Conclusion. When answering the question of which compressor is better, it is necessary to start from the tasks that are assigned to the equipment. For example, if you need a compressor unit to work with powerful pneumatic tool that does not require air cleanliness, you should choose an oil unit. An oil-free compressor is optimal for working with low-power tools or in cases where the purity of compressed air is critical.

Belt or direct drive

Direct driven compressors have an extremely simple, compact construction, where the piston head and the electric motor operate from a single shaft. The number of working parts that can potentially require repair or maintenance is minimal.

Belt driven compressors are more complex installations that operate using a system of belts and pulleys. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the number of turns of the crankshaft by almost half.

Conclusion. When choosing the installation drive, we also start from our tasks. Belt compressors are optimal for use in industrial facilities where long working sessions are required. These are the most practical solutions with a wide range of performance characteristics (output capacity and pressure). For occasional use or for household needs, a light, simple and compact direct driven compressor is more suitable.

In the REMEZA range, you can find a compressor for solving tasks of any scale and degree of responsibility. This equipment confirms its reliability by numerous reviews of satisfied consumers.

When choosing a compressor, you should always start from the tasks that need to be solved. In this article we have reviewed only a few popular series of equipment. But in the manufacturer’s catalog there are much more of them — perhaps Your version is waiting for You there.
