MATTEI ROTARY VANE AIR COMPRESSORS
Mattei has been manufacturing air compressors since 1919. Since then the company has continually evolved and is now one of the world’s foremost compressor manufacturers and leader in the production of rotary vane compressors.
Mattei rotary vane technology is simple and features a single off-set rotor which is supported by two (2) white metal babbit bushings and rotates at only 1800 RPM or lower. Blades/vanes slide in and out of the rotor to form compression pockets. Zero-wear Meehanite axial treating prevents wear to the stator wall or the cast iron blades that ride on a thin film of lubricant. Backed by a 10 year warranty, the rotor stator unit (RSU) is exceptionally durable and efficient and it is not uncommon to get over 100,000 hours of service life out of our air-ends (RSU) without a rebuilt.
Mattei’s rotary vane RSU is not subject to thrust forces and remains balanced under load as pressure is equalized along the length of the rotor. Mechanical efficiency remains high (~90%) as there is near-perfect sealing. The oil simply services the shaft bushings and provides lubrication for the blades.
Continuous innovation and advanced design capabilities drive the development of Mattei rotary vane air compressors. They are more efficient than other types of rotary compressors with longer operational lives and a lower cost of ownership, thanks to:
- Lower rotational speeds
- High volumetric efficiencies
- No axial bearing loads
- No gear box
- Low oil change costs
- Fewer moving parts
- High specific energy efficiency (CFM/HP)
