What you Need to Know When Buying a Rotary Screw Compressor?

CPM Maxi
The right screw compressor can make your business more productive and more efficient, as well as improve the work environment for your team. We've put together a buyers-guide to help teach you everything you need to know when buying a Rotary Screw Air Compressor.

Why a Rotary Screw Air Compressor?

A rotary screw air compressor has a 100% duty cycle, which means it can supply compressed air 24 hours a day, 365 days a week. The Quiet Rotary Screw series, or QRS as known at CP, is the leading rotary screw compressor for service or light industrial applications. The compressor is specially designed for high performance, efficiency and reliability. How to know a Rotary Screw Compressor is the right choice for your business? Here are a few tips:

  • If you have a small or large production facility
  • Multiple machines that require compressed air
  • Large garages/ships (paint booths, tire changing, etc.)

When a Rotary Screw Isn't Right For You:

Though we love the QRS compressors, it's not the right fit for everyone's business. Making sure your operation is properly sized for the right air compressor will save you money and help with efficiency. If any of these apply to your business, the rotary screw isn't for you: 

  • Continuous air isn't needed
  • Air tools are the only items powered by compressed air
  • Compressor use is only for home or DIY type of work

If any of these apply to your type of work, a Piston (aka reciprocating) air compressor would be a better choice.
