Sliding Vane Technology for Efficiency and Durability

U.S.-built Ful-Vane air compressors are backed by over 80 years of industry know-how. With over 26,000 units in service, FLSmidth is the largest manufacturer of rotary vane compressors in the world. FLSmidth parts warehouses and service centers are strategically located and staffed with well-trained personnel.

These advantages, added to the superior design engineering of our entire product line, make Ful-Vane compressors ideal choices in today's cost-conscious economy.

Choose the capacity and pressure rating that fits — capacities to 3000 cfm and pressures between 15 and 45 psig. Typical applications include pneumatic conveying, sewage aeration, slurry agitation and in-plant process air. Whatever your application, a Ful-Vane compressor can supply the air you need, where you need it.

Two-Stage Air Compressors

FLSmidth manufactures two-stage air compressors with capacities to 2000 cfm and pressures to 125 psig. These units' sliding-vane technology and simplicity of design position them perfectly in situations where pumping conditions are difficult — in cement mills, foundries, plywood plants, paper mills, etc., and in dense-phase conveying applications.

Advanced engineering helps assure extended compressor life

Improved Bearing Design

Ful-Vane Compressors are equipped with a fixed bearing at the coupling end of the shaft, and a floating bearing at the closed end. The fixed bearing allows the compressor shaft to carry greater horsepower side-loading when a V-belt drive arrangement is used. Also, this bearing combination allows for thermal expansion of the rotor, yet maintains clearances during operation for high efficiency.

New Blade Material

Our new B-3000 blade material is lighter, stronger, longer-wearing and non-hygroscopic. As a result, these vanes last longer and save you money on parts and downtime.

Heavy-Duty Mechanical Shaft Seal

Packing is the standard seal arrangement on Ful-Vane air compressors. However, mechanical seal options are also available. Mechanical seals provide a better seal, last longer in service, reducing downtime and saving you valuable maintenance dollars

Ful-Vane Compressors offer you these additional advantages:

• 48 compressor sizes to choose from
• 8- and 10-blade rotor configuration options
• Field repairability: oversized blades available for reslotted rotors
• Vibration-free construction
