Hydrovane rotary vane compressors have proven themselves for decades: more than three quarters of a million units are in operation worldwide. They are quiet, robust and last more than 100,000 operating hours. As the CompAir partner for north-western Switzerland, we advise you, deliver and maintain the system.
The rotary vane principle
A rotor with longitudinal slots turns in a cylindrical housing. Vanes slide in the slots; they are pushed outwards by centrifugal force and run on a film of oil. This creates individual chambers that become smaller as the rotor turns, compressing the air.
Injected oil removes the heat of compression, and a separator takes it out of the air again at the end. The rotor is the only continuously moving part; it turns at just 1,450 rpm and is directly driven.
- Only one moving part, very durable
- Low speed, direct drive without belts
- Quiet enough for the point of use
- Clean, pulsation-free air
- 1.1 to 22 kW, 7 to 10 bar
- As a complete package with receiver and dryer

Is a rotary vane compressor right for you?
For small and medium air volumes, especially right at the workstation, a Hydrovane is often the best choice. We also compare it with a screw compressor together with you and find the right solution.
