BSTAIR 15-20 Air & Nitrogen Boosters

There are many industries and processes where compressed air and nitrogen are used at higher pressures of up to 40 bar. PET blowing, laser cutting, pressure tests and abrasive cutting are among some of the widespread processes in which air or nitrogen boosters can be an integral part of the installation. The BSTAIR booster can be connected to the plant’s low-pressure network. The standard booster range has a discharge pressure of up to 40 bar, with a flow range of 0.4 m³/min to 3.6 m³/min.

How does booster technology work?

Air or nitrogen is compressed in a single-stage pump using the standard operating cycle of a piston compressor. Compression starts at a low pressure moving through the joint work of the inlet and outlet solenoid valves. The compressed air or nitrogen then enters the booster where it is further compressed up to 40 bar, in a single stage. The inlet pressure switch stops the booster when the inlet pressure exceeds the maximum allowed value or drops below the minimum allowed value. Cooling is provided by the axial fan installed on the shaft of the booster.

The booster is lubricated by the oil in the crankcase. The crankcase is vented via the oil separator and the oil breather, which allows operation with minimum oil carryover.

Interview: New energy-efficient compressor installation for voestalpine Polynorm

ALUP GrassAir has delivered an energy-efficient compressor installation at voestalpine Polynorm in Bunschoten. Because of the long customer relationship with GrassAir Compressors and the products of ALUP, voestalpine Polynorm chose for a new ALUP GrassAir compressed air system that delivers significant benefits.

Interview: ALUP compressed air installation for Heinz Innovation Centre Nijmegen

The Heinz Innovation Centre in Nijmegen Heinz has brought together a number of European research activities, making this the second largest R&D centre of Heinz in the world. The machines require high quality compressed air, where in the original specifications was spoken of one large compressor however, ALUP had a better suggestion.

Interview: Agrifirm invests in new ALUP installation

In the world of animal feeds it is all about maximum nutritional efficiency. But at least as important is a company process that is as efficient as possible. Agrifirm Feed replaced 30 years old compressors for among other things frequency controlled compressed air installations from ALUP. The reliability improved and the energy consumption decreased considerably, also due to ingenious re-use of waste heat

Interview: Food grade compressed air for herbs and spices production

The increasing demands in the field of food safety force the food sector to use 'state-of- the-art’ compressed air installations that deliver clean as well as dry air. For compressed air installations in the foodstuff industries the international norm ISO 8573.1 is more and more used as the ‘Code of Practice’ of the BCAS/BRC. This was also done when designing the new compressed air installation for the herbs and spices producer Koninklijke Euroma from Wapenveld.
