They are incredibly productive! They provide a continuous flow of air. This makes them ideal for applications that require a constant air supply, such as sandblasting and spray painting and manufacturing.
Many screw compressors are oil free, meaning they are ideal for applications where clean air is critical, such as in the food and beverage industry.
Some screw compressors have oil injected into them. These are generally more efficient and offer better cooling for the rotors, making them suitable for heavy duty applications.
They are relatively energy-efficient, especially at higher air flow rates.
Less maintenance: compared to other types of air compressor, screw compressors usually require much less maintenance and so are more reliable.
