Description
The Mattei MAXIMA Series rotary vane air compressors are engineered to deliver maximum energy efficiency, long‑term reliability, and low operating costs for high‑demand industrial applications. Available in sizes from 30 to 160 kW (40–200 HP), the MAXIMA Series is designed for facilities requiring large, continuous volumes of compressed air with consistent base load operation.
Built around Mattei’s proven rotary vane technology, the MAXIMA Series utilizes a simple, robust compression design featuring sliding vanes that maintain a continuous seal against the stator wall using a thin film of oil. This design eliminates axial thrust forces and reduces internal wear, resulting in exceptional durability, quiet operation, and extended service life, with blades engineered for over 100,000 hours of operation.
The MAXIMA compressors feature a direct‑drive, low‑speed configuration, with the electric motor coupled directly to the airend through a flexible coupling and operating at approximately 1200 RPM. This eliminates energy losses associated with belts and gears, improving overall efficiency and reducing maintenance requirements. The combination of low rotational speed and high volumetric efficiency allows the MAXIMA Series to achieve energy savings exceeding 15% compared to conventional rotary compressors.
Designed for optimized performance and ease of ownership, the MAXIMA Series incorporates high‑efficiency electric motors, a 1:1 drive ratio, and advanced control through the Maestro XS controller, which manages, monitors, and programs compressor operation while enabling remote connectivity and system integration.
Maintenance is simplified through a service‑friendly design, featuring large hinged doors and removable panels for full access to internal components. Routine maintenance is limited to oil changes, air filter service, and radiator cleaning, with separator elements requiring replacement only at extended intervals of up to 10,000 hours, significantly reducing service costs over time.
The MAXIMA Series also offers optional integrated heat recovery systems, allowing facilities to reclaim energy from the compression process for heating water used in industrial processes or sanitation applications. This further enhances overall system efficiency and reduces total energy consumption.
With its combination of direct‑drive efficiency, low‑speed operation, long component life, and simplified maintenance, the Mattei MAXIMA Series provides a dependable compressed air solution for industrial operations focused on maximizing uptime and minimizing lifecycle costs.
