What Is a Screw Compressor?
A screw compressor is a type of compressor that employs screws to continuously compress fluids.
One notable example is the air compressor, where air drawn in from the intake is compressed between a pair of screws and discharged as compressed air. This is the principle behind screw compressors known as the twin-screw type. Various types of screw compressors are designed to accommodate different air volumes, pressures, screw shapes, rotation directions, and the presence of oil, ensuring flexibility to meet specific requirements.
Screw compressors compress fluids continuously through the rotation of screws, resulting in minimal noise and vibration while maintaining high efficiency. They are particularly well-suited for applications in production lines of factories where continuous operation is essential.
