Description
The Mattei RVD 7–11 direct‑drive rotary vane air compressors are engineered to deliver exceptional energy efficiency, industrial‑grade durability, and long‑term reliability in the 10–15 HP range. Designed as single‑stage, fixed‑speed compressors, the RVD Series utilizes Mattei’s proprietary direct‑drive rotary vane technology to eliminate the inefficiencies, wear, and maintenance challenges associated with traditional belt‑driven compressors.
At the heart of the RVD Series is Mattei’s bearing‑less Rotor Stator Unit (RSU), featuring lifetime‑rated cast‑iron vanes that operate on a thin film of oil. This design produces a consistent internal seal, minimal friction, and virtually no wear, enabling operating lifespans exceeding 100,000 hours without a planned overhaul. Unlike belt‑driven compressors, the RVD Series connects a high‑efficiency TEFC motor directly to the airend through a flexible jaw coupling, eliminating belt losses, reducing energy consumption, and lowering ongoing maintenance costs.
The RVD 7–11 compressors are designed to become more energy‑efficient over time through Mattei’s exclusive VANE GAIN™ technology, where the precision‑cast vanes season with use to further improve sealing and efficiency. This results in lower lifetime energy costs compared to conventional rotary screw and belt‑drive compressors in the same horsepower class.
Each unit is equipped with the Maestro XB advanced controller, providing intelligent operation and system protection, including programmable start/stop timers, automatic restart after power loss, phase reversal protection, maintenance reminders, and lead/lag capability for up to four compressors. Centralized, easy‑access control valves and hydraulically controlled servo regulation ensure smooth, reliable operation under varying load conditions.
Thermal management is handled by an oversized cooling system rated for high ambient conditions, featuring a precision‑controlled cooling fan and integrated moisture separation with an electronic zero‑loss drain. The RVD Series also delivers exceptionally clean compressed air, with an integrated oil separation system achieving 1–3 PPM oil carryover.
Available in base‑mounted, tank‑mounted, and fully packaged configurations—including optional refrigerated dryers and 80‑ or 120‑gallon air receivers—the RVD 7–11 compressors provide installation flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications. With low sound levels around 66 dBA, compact footprint, and industrial‑grade construction, the RVD Series is ideal for facilities seeking dependable compressed air with minimal operating cost over the life of the machine.
For added peace of mind, RVD 7–11 compressors are eligible for Mattei’s MyCare 6 & 10 extended warranty, offering up to ten years of coverage on critical components when properly commissioned and maintained.
