Gardner Denver unveils revolutionary new compressor technology at HANNOVER MESSE
May 3, 2017
Gardner Denver is set to draw in the crowds at this year’s HANNOVER MESSE exhibition, as the company launches a revolutionary new compressor, as well as showcasing its extensive and industry-renowned portfolio of pressure, vacuum and blower solutions.
Taking place 24 – 28 April at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds, visitors to stand B60 in hall 26 will be able to learn about the company’s latest compressed air technologies, meeting three critical needs: intelligent innovation, exceptional levels of efficiency, and sophisticated connectivity, in line with the demands of today’s advanced manufacturing and process applications.
Gardner Denver will also be highlighting the benefits of oil-free technology throughout the show, with key offerings on display including its PureAir series, the associated PureCare maintenance programme and Robuschi’s ROBOX screw system, as well as extensions to Elmo Rietschle’s product range for heavy-duty and industrial applications. The exhibition will also see the official launch of iConn, offering innovative machine-to-machine connectivity.
PureAir compressors and PureCare maintenance
Certified to ISO 8573-1 Class Zero (2010) standards, Gardner Denver and CompAir’s PureAir range is suitable for environments requiring assured air purity, such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical and electronics facilities.
The series comprises of a range of technologies, including oil-free water-injected rotary screw compressors, two-stage screw, scroll and centrifugal compressors, as well as piston compressors.
The service and maintenance programme PureCare supports this product offering, ensuring its compressors operate at optimal efficiency and performance levels at all times.
Robuschi’s ROBOX screw
An innovative, oil-free compressor unit, the ROBOX screw from Robuschi is available in high-pressure, low-pressure and vacuum models. Visitors to the HANNOVER MESSE exhibition will be able to see the ROBOX screw high-pressure 65/2P unit on display, featuring a HMI control panel that enables the user to remotely monitor the unit’s performance.
The HMI control panel allows the user to check the machine’s status, pressures and speeds, temperature, alarms and system trends, as well as monitoring when service or maintenance is due.
The ROBOX screw system is highly efficient due to its RSW patented rotors, reducing the number of revolutions required to compress air, while delivering reduced noise levels courtesy of highly efficient internal compression, silencers and a noise-reducing enclosure.

Elmo Rietschle will be unveiling extensions to its product range at this year’s HANNOVER MESSE show. The recently launched VLR claw vacuum pump will be presented in the new XD range, suitable for heavy-duty applications, while the rotary vane VC and screw VSI ranges now also offer IV models, designed for industrial vacuum applications.
Available with variable speed drive to optimise energy usage, new features include protective coating, low ultimate pressure and the ability to withstand high operating temperatures, plus wet and humid conditions.
iConn
Connectivity is set to be a key focus in Gardner Denver’s portfolio in the coming years, with the company’s new iConn service offering intelligent insights that will help operators monitor a system’s performance in both real-time and remotely.
Accessible from smartphones, the browser-based system ensures users can proactively manage any potential issues that arise at all times, reducing associated downtime and guaranteeing the system is performing as required.
CompAir L series 30-45kW rotary screw compressor
CompAir will also be launching a new 30-45kW, oil-lubricated rotary screw compressor at the show, further enhancing its L series. The new models offer improved efficiencies, while helping to deliver essential cost savings.
