THE TWO TECHNOLOGIES COMPARED

Check out this comparison table outlining the differences between Piston Air Compressors and Screw Air Compressors.

YESTERDAYS TECHNOLOGY (Piston Air Compressors)		TODAYS TECHNOLOGY (Screw Air Compressors)
70-75% of the intake air	AIR YIELD	95% of the intake air More air with lower energy costs
Greater than 80 dB (A)	SOUND LEVEL	MINI da 61 a 64 dB(A) Almost as low as a household appliance
For intermittent use	OPERATION	Also for continuous use An industrial technology
High content of residual oil and humidity	AIR QUALITY	Low oil content and dry air in the version with dryer Cleaner air for better production
Alternating and pulsing	COMPRESSION	Continuous and constant Uniform pressure in line for better functioning utilities
High	VIBRATIONS	Absent More reliable components
From 7-10 times nominal value	STARTING CURRENT	From 3 to 5 times nominal value in the star/delta version Lower energy consumption at start-up
Thermal circuit breaker	PROTEZIONI STANDARD	Magneto-thermal circuit breaker Greater operation safety

Technological evolution,the ever greater needs of increasingly sophisticated users and respect for the environment are just three of the many reasons behind the MSM Mini’s design the small screw compressor with big compressor performance.
