Description
The Mattei RVX 55–90i Variable‑Speed Direct‑Drive Rotary Vane Air Compressors are engineered to deliver industry‑leading energy efficiency, exceptional durability, and the lowest lifecycle costs in high‑duty industrial applications. Available in 55, 75, and 90 kW (75–125 HP) configurations, the RVX Series combines Mattei’s proprietary bearing‑less rotary vane technology with advanced inverter‑driven speed control to provide superior performance across fluctuating air demand profiles.
At the heart of the RVX Series is Mattei’s Rotor Stator Unit (RSU), a bearing‑less airend design featuring zero‑wear vanes, zero‑wear bushings, and zero thrust forces. This eliminates the primary wear points found in rotary screw compressors and allows for over 100,000 hours of operation without a planned airend overhaul. The result is unmatched airend longevity, consistent performance, and dramatically reduced maintenance costs over the life of the compressor.
The RVX Series utilizes variable‑speed inverter control, making it ideal for applications operating between 40% and 70% of rated capacity, where energy savings are maximized. Unlike traditional compressor technologies, Mattei’s rotary vane design becomes more efficient over time through its exclusive VANE GAIN™ effect, where lifetime‑rated cast‑iron vanes naturally season to improve sealing and reduce energy consumption as the compressor runs.
Mattei’s XTREME Technology Trifecta further enhances performance and sustainability. XTREME Injection Technology dramatically reduces oil circulation while improving compression efficiency through an advanced scavenged oil return system and atomized lubricant delivery. XTREME Thermal Management Technology ensures precise temperature control across a wide range of ambient conditions, with oversized coolers rated up to 46°C / 115°F and electronically controlled thermostatic regulation. XTREME Communications Technology integrates the IoT‑ready Maestro XC controller, featuring a 10‑inch touchscreen interface, real‑time monitoring, predictive maintenance capabilities, and remote data access via the Mattei Cloud.
The RVX Series is designed for quiet, reliable operation, with direct‑drive coupling eliminating belt and gear losses, reducing noise, vibration, and maintenance. Advanced air and oil separation systems limit oil carryover to 1–3 mg/m³, delivering high‑quality compressed air suitable for demanding industrial processes.
Available options include water‑cooled versions, integrated heat recovery systems capable of reclaiming up to 80% of mechanical energy for process water heating, moisture separators with zero‑loss drains, oil quality sensors, and IE4 or optional IE5 motor efficiency packages. These configurations allow the RVX 55–90i to be precisely tailored to both energy‑conscious and high‑performance industrial environments.
Eligible for Mattei’s MyCare 6 & 10 extended warranty program, the RVX 55–90i Series offers long‑term protection on critical components and peace of mind for operations where compressed air is a mission‑critical utility. Built for continuous duty, variable demand, and long‑term efficiency, the RVX 55–90i represents the pinnacle of variable‑speed rotary vane compressor technology.
